<p>Would you like to create posts longer than 500 characters on Mastodon?</p><p>You can have longer posts by moving your account to a server that offers longer posts.

<p>There is a Fediverse alternative to Substack called Ghost. It allows you to host blogs and newsletters in a very similar way to Substack, but it has much less problematic management and you can host your own Ghost-powered site if you want to.</p><p>Lots more info about Ghost in the guide at:</p><p>➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/ghost-blogs-and-newsletters-on-the-fediverse" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="fedi.tips/ghost-blogs-and-newsletters-on-the-fediverse"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fedi.tips/ghost-blogs-and-news</span><span class="invisible">letters-on-the-fediverse</span></a></p><p>Would also highly recommend the article by <span class="h-card"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>molly0xfff</span></a></span> which outlines the advantages of Ghost over Substack:</p><p>➡️ <a href="https://www.citationneeded.news/substack-to-self-hosted-ghost" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.citationneeded.news/substack-to-self-hosted-ghost"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.citationneeded.news/substa</span><span class="invisible">ck-to-self-hosted-ghost</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/feditips/" rel="tag">#FediTips</a> <a href="/tags/ghost/" rel="tag">#Ghost</a> <a href="/tags/substack/" rel="tag">#Substack</a> <a href="/tags/alternatives/" rel="tag">#Alternatives</a></p>
<p>Just a reminder: If you follow me, you’ll probably see a lot of posts related to <a href="/tags/hashtaggames/" rel="tag">#hashtagGames</a> on your feed. If this annoys you, find one of the posts with the <a href="/tags/hashtaggames/" rel="tag">#hashTagGames</a> hashtag, click on the hashtag, and select “Mute <a href="/tags/hashtaggames/" rel="tag">#HashTagGames</a>”. Problem solved!</p><p><a href="/tags/feditips/" rel="tag">#FediTips</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a></p>
<p>When I interviewed <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Gargron" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Gargron</span></a></span> he said that education was key to <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Mastodon</span></a></span> and the fediverse growing. That, along with the algorithm-free approach of most ActivityPub-supporting platforms, inspired me to create <a href="https://algo.free" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>algo.free</a></p><p>It covers the benefits of going algo-free, provides ActivityPub-powered alternatives to centralized, algo-driven platforms, and offers tips for getting started.</p><p><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> <a href="/tags/feditips/" rel="tag">#FediTips</a></p>
