Launch a Mastodon and/or blog presence #2

Open chadwhitacre opened 6 months ago

chadwhitacre commented 6 months ago

I maintain an X account for FOSS Funders. A couple folks have asked for Mastodon and/or a blog, e.g.:

Any chance of Fedi or RSS so I can see the updates?

I don't have the bandwidth to take that on right now. I'm starting an issue here to track interest. Who is going to step up to the plate? :-)

We can use my Zapier account to post Twitter to Mastodon. I never use Mastodon so this is my best solution/offer

Wfm. What do you need from me in order to set it up?

jdorfman commented 6 months ago

Share the Twitter and Mastodon credentials in 1Password? I can do it over the weekend. I'm swamped this week.

I feel like we should wait for someone to step up who actually uses Mastodon. Cross-posting could be good but it seems like we would want someone paying attention and actually engaging with people.

Good call. That won't be me lol.

Maybe Richard?

You could consider setting up something like Buffer: https://support.buffer.com/article/563-using-mastodon-with-buffer

You could possibly set it up using a GitHub oriented publishing flow: https://github.com/humanwhocodes/toot#using-in-a-github-workflow
