[Sean Tilley]

Sean has been integrating We Distribute with the fediverse for years. It's been hard - particularly at the beginning, which is the plight of the very early adopter. This rundown is incredibly useful for anyone who wants to integrate their own publication with the network, and highlights again how important the work Ghost has been doing really is.

The findings are great, and this is particularly thought-provoking:

"It's probably better to make a purpose-built platform for what you're trying to do, rather than try to bolt publishing onto a federated system or federation onto a publishing system. That said - if you have to, do the second thing."

In other words, we need more Fediverse-first software that is designed for publishers to make the most use out of the network and plug into existing communities there. I think there's a lot of potential for new tools and approaches to make a real difference here.
