How do I add a social media feed to my Ghost website

Using Ghost
1

Hello, I have moved to a Ghost Pro website from SquareSpace and I am struggling. I am keen to learn and have tried searching this forum and other Ghost help resources but have not found an answer to this, apologies if I am missing something obvious. Maybe there is a search term I have not used/know about - I looked for ‘social media feed’, ‘socials feed’ etc

On Square Space I had it set up (largely automated by them tbf) so when I posted from my social media accounts (I would like this for BlueSky, Instagram and Mastodon mainly) it would appear as a feed at the bottom of my website.

How can I do this on Ghost? I am using Ghost 6.0 with the Active theme source (v1.5.1) - I can change to another theme if needs be. https://morefunwith.games/ is the URL

Any assistance or advice really appreciated, thanks in advance for any help.

Ghost doesn’t have built-in tools to embed social media timelines to your website. But you can achieve it by editing your theme and using some external libraries. You need to search like “embed bluesky timeline to website”. Then you should find tools like this: GitHub - Vincenius/bsky-embed: A web-component to easily embed a bluesky feed. · GitHub

Then put the small scripts to your template file (or sometimes code injection would be easier and sufficient enough).

Thank you so much muratcorlu, I really appreciate your advice, I will investigate the search terms. This is quite a big learning curve for me as I do not really understand ‘small scripts to your template file (or sometimes code injection would be easier and sufficient enough).’ but have plenty to research now, once again, thank you!

I understand. That’s completely normal. I would like to write step by step guide to do it but unfortunately I’m quite busy nowadays.

You can also consider looking for a professional support. There are many Ghost experts here who can help you implement what you need.
