a thought that just resurfaced: it'd be cool if mastodon / the fediverse at large had some kind of standard way to surface people's blog rss feeds and the like.
like remember how facebook used to let you publish a feed? that was of course a stepping stone to their enclosure of the web - but what's, like, the conceptual inverse of that? a thing that uses the energy here to build the whole open-web-glued-together-by-some-protocols side of things instead of trying to eat it?
@brennen Since I use a static site generator, I was able to put together a template that makes my blog emit ActivityPub data.
It took me about an hour. If I can do it with Pelican, it shouldn't be much harder to do with Jekyll or WordPress.
@starbreaker i've kinda played with that idea. it looks reasonably manageable.
is your template source public somewhere? i might take a run at doing that with https://github.com/brennen/wrt one of these days.
@brennen It's all on Github. You'll want to start in the oedipus directory.
