   Anyone here use #WriteFreely?

   I've just set up a self-hosted WriteFreely blog as a first experiment with self-hosting instances and using @yunohost (huge thanks to @_elena for your tips! 🥰)

   At least from initial setup, it looks like only the first line of the post and a link is pulling across to Mastodon.

   Is there any way to make the full post text visible on Mastodon?

   I can see who's following the blog, but not any comments. Any way to turn on notifications for this?

   Also, is there any way to follow an account from WriteFreely? (I'm interested, because it would in theory allow me to follow BridgyFed, and make the posts visible on BlueSky.)

   Are these limitations of the platform? Or is there a setting somewhere I missed?

     I'm using WriteFreely at https://write.as/economic-networks/

     I haven't explored what I can do to publish in the fediverse. If you figure it out, maybe you can enlighten me?

     @bhaugen @yunohost @_elena @writefreely @ajsadauskas@blog.sadauskas.id.au It looks like there's two places in the settings that you need to change.

     First, in the top right menu, go to customize, make sure publicity is set to unlisted, and then go to Updates and make sure the Federation checkbox is switched on.

     Once you're in customize, if you have admin access, go to the WriteFreely menu at the top right, select Admin Dashboard, and then Settings. (If you're on WriteAs, this menu might not be visible?)

     On this page, there's a checkbox marked Federation. Make sure it's on, and click save settings.

     The other thing you can try is go to one of your blog posts. Click on the date, so it's just that blog post. Copy the URL and paste it into Mastodon and see if it appears.
