@tchambers basically correct: sub.club ingests any rss feed, publishes it back out as activityfeed content, incl basic support for rich text and rich media. And to follow that rss feed, you must be a paid subscriber. This enables NPR style benefits such as “paid supporters get exclusive access to the fediverse version of our content and can read it right in their favorite client (ivory etc)”

Thrilled to announce that sub.club now supports RSS. Just add your feed to your sub.club acct and we’ll create a premium ActivityPub feed. We also have a WordPress plugin & Write.as integration -> instant premium fediverse solution for news, blogs & newsletters.

Getting moderation reports about https://morale.ch - looks pretty funky. Anybody familiar with what the site’s about and why everyone’s posting the same message?

you’ll be able to post blogs to the fediverse, incl free snippets with a link to subscribe to read the full post.

Feels awesome adding @subclub to the bio after a great first day. Big props to @pxl for the badass branding, @bnolens for the code magic, @quillmatiq for explaining what we are building

super excited about this new project I’ve been working on with @dimillian and the Mammoth team. sub.club works in ALL mastodon clients but it’s super sexy in Ice Cubes!

Adding payments to the fediverse will be critical to broader adoption and the health of the ecosystem, so I’m really excited about what we’re starting today. Make sure to check out the sub.club API at www.sub.club.

@uther @dimillian @IceCubesApp hi uther! @tchambers gave us the idea that we should offer a set of features specifically for instances, so that’s what we want to ship in the next 30 days. An alternative to ko-fi and patreon for your instance supporters - cheaper, cool AP features. BUT we can also: (1) work with you on integrated premium feeds or (2) work on a paid instance - excited to chat with instance owners such as yourself!

Hi folks, super enjoyed this conversation with @docpop! big thanks!

Awesome read by @michael https://www.blog-pat.ch/we-need-to-finish-building-the-fediverse/

Looking for a dev to help lead Mammoth. Needs passion for user experience & fedi, ideally has played a key role in end user app already. Codebase is in Swift + UIKit but we are flexible, want to talk to visionary devs. $5,000/mo, fully open source, AGPL. Can be a (major!) side hustle. HMU at bdecrem on g mail or bartdecrem on discord.

Let’s take back the web all over again. “And now we can take it back. Whether it’s using ActivityPub/Mastodon, or Bluesky/ATProtocol (or others like nostr or Farcaster), we’re starting to see users building out an alternative vision that isn’t just mediated by single companies with Wall Street demands pushing them to enshittify. “ Great read by @mmasnick@mmasnick@mastodon.social https://www.techdirt.com/2024/05/21/decentralized-systems-will-be-necessary-to-stop-google-from-putting-the-web-into-managed-decline/
