Anthony Bosio<p>I&#39;m hopeful about the news that Fosstodon may survive under new administration.</p><p>But I am going to to start periodically backing up my toots in a structured format to eventually – hopefully – populate my own CMS which will later end up being the source of the content (toots, blog posts, photos pushed to pixelfed, etc.).</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/POSSE" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>POSSE</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/IndieWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IndieWeb</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Fosstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Fosstodon</span></a></p>

It worked pretty well but only really worked one-way - you could post out but couldn't see your mentions/link backs/comments on those other platforms.</p>
Colin Devroe<p>I have my reservations about whether or not blogs (specifically my blog) should federate content via ActivityPub.

Óli Gneisti (English)<p>I made a sort of a New Year's resolution in December.</p><p>1. See more recent movies.<br>2. See more movies for the first time.<br>3. Write a blog entry (in Icelandic) about every movie I see.</p><p>Tonight I wrote the fifty-first entry this year. It was the 38th movie that I hadn't seen before though it was old. I've seen 36 movies made in the 2022-2025. I do have a target number for the year but I doubt I will stop when I get to it.</p><p>This is not just a movie watching exercise. It is also write fast and publish exercise. I done too much "finish it later" writing since blogs fell out of favor. And I often don't finish it later.</p><p>I am also doing a <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/POSSE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>POSSE</span></a> thing - Post (on) Own Site Syndicate Elsewhere.

Ryan Pollard<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@ivansenmarko" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>ivansenmarko</span></a></span> I am trying to solve the problem of posting once, but driving engagement to a single platform. In my own personal case, I'd like to drive Bluesky users to Mastodon for further discussion. I appreciate how <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BridgyFed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BridgyFed</span></a> handles this part of cross-posting, by linking back to my preferred platform in the post itself (see graphic). They also gracefully truncate to address character limits. So why not use them? Because they can't bridge *existing* accounts and have no plans to do so according to their FAQ. I do not want a "brid.gy" account.</p><p>I think <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Openvibe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Openvibe</span></a> has an opportunity to effectively get around this problem by allowing users to post to all platforms but link back to the one they prefer.
