If you follow a Ghost site from Mastodon etc, it isn't just a one-way feed.

Ghost sites are actually on the Fediverse and they can interact with Mastodon etc accounts, they can favourite, boost and reply.

You can see Ghost site @sam replying to @FediFollows here: https://social.growyourown.services/@FediFollows/115293813549700275

This is two-directional, Fediverse-compatible websites can seamlessly talk with people on Fediverse-compatible social networks. This is how the open web is supposed to work.

@FediTips @sam @FediFollows I don't know whether this is good or bad

It's really good, it means people on Ghost can interact with people on Mastodon etc.

Ghost is FOSS and can be self-hosted, so this could also help the diversity of servers on here. Each self-hosted blog is its own server.

@FediTips I understood "Ghost Website" as "Dead Website" or "Dead Account"

Ahh okay! Sorry, I should have written the original post more clearly

Yeah, Ghost is a particular kind of blogging platform that is very popular. It's like a more ethical alternative to Substack:
