     @buttondown Any Fediverse integration existing or on the roadmap?

     @buttondown Hmm. For starters: embedding Masto posts as o know embed Tweets in newsletters. But maybe also auto-posting to the Fedi with each new newsletter going live, with a snippet of the article auto-posted by an integrated Fedi account into a new Fedi post? Micro.blog does it this way but only supports free newsletters: https://www.manton.org/2021/12/06/introducing-email-newsletter.html

     @tchambers What did you have in mind? Spiritually pro (we support webmentions and are working on h-entry support) but don't have a great mental image of what federation itself would look like beyond that!

     @tchambers ah, definitely re: the former — has been on the roadmap for a while but I was struggling to find a consistent way to identify a URL or response as a mastodon post. and will poke around the latter more!

     @buttondown Cool, think it could be a powerful way to alert users of new articles and encourage readership...

     @buttondown Highly recommend looking at micro.blog as a model. Or maybe adding a micro.blog integration which might get you federation functions faster…

     @buttondown instead of having trying to guess that something is a Mastodon post you probably need to create an "embed Mastodon post" thing and just assume whatever gets in it is a Mastodon post.

     this one technically is already possible (albeit not through AP, just webhooks!) but I have a great reading list to see what the path to supporting ActivityPub is now like :)

     @tchambers @buttondown it would be a game changer to have a newsletter summary auto-posted to my Mastodon account.

     With #substack not looking to demonetize fascist and white supremacy content, I’m looking to move my newsletter

     @buttondown we desperately need to do this. Way too many non-tech people have been in charge of our newsletter over the years that get overwhelmed by Mailchi.mp that it usually ends up not going out.
