By the way, yr humble #fediverse servant will be operating the Manchvegas Express tomorrow morning (read: I am driving my Hyundai Venue stuffed with coworkers to NH to help our team cover the primary).
I'll need to bring stuff to eat. Thoughts? I have "bag of fluffernutters" on my list so far. Fruit maybe?
@dansup oh cool! So the thing that got my attention was the Instagram integration.
It looks like if I have an IG archive file, I can upload it to Pixelfed. But it also looks like I have a 7GB upload limit, and I'm concerned that my archive would exceed that.
Is there any way to cut down an archive file? I'd cut it down to the last year to avoid the storage cap...
we should just be patient, yes? if there is something else we should do to explore this further field of the #fediverse we hope that you, our fedi friends, will let us know.
@gemlog I'll type a little more tomorrow, k? I have a basic sense of it but I want to summarize it more cleanly than I suspect I am capable of at this hour. 😁
GBH News is a PBS/NPR newsroom in Boston, Massachusetts.
We start each day with a greeting, the weather, a news brief, and a poll.
It surprises me when we get people who say they think this is the full output of our newsroom, but of course it is not. We simply care enough about the #fediverse to engage here.
That's an excellent question. I worked for INN (The Institute for Nonprofit News) for a few years. At the time we had ~140 nonprofit news organizations as members and the core of our work was helping them get to a place of financial sustainability.
Typically, success looked like:
* recurring revenue from memberships * events
and sometimes
* partnerships or even acquisition by a public media organization
@nikkiana Having each of these CMS instances support ActivityPub would be a major advance in a number of ways, but in my opinion, this is the big one: it would allow very easy sharing of articles BETWEEN NPR affiliates.
Right now, most NPR affiliates' websites get an automated feed of NPR articles via NPR's API.
But it's still hub-and-spoke; here in Boston I have automatic access to NPR articles but not, say, to the work of an affiliate in San Antonio. 3/x
