Just setup a Ghost site. Confused about the Network & Fediverse

Using Ghost

Hi :waving_hand:

I just setup a Ghost Pro site. Currently customizing my theme.

However, can someone explain how the network/Fediverse section works? How do I set it up.

I clicked in, went through the quick tutorial, followed a few publications and then ticked the box to share to Bluesky.

I’m confused. I can see that I have a new handle: @@

But, how does it work?

I don’t have Threads, Bluesky, Mastadon, Flipboard, Surf accounts.

I originally thought I needed to create accounts across these platforms and then connect them through the Network tab?

However, I don’t see any option for connecting to any accounts.

Or, does Ghost automatically share my posts across all of these networks regardless of account creation?

I’m pretty confused.

No

Yes

:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

A more detailed answer, you don’t need to create the accounts on all those social networks you mentioned. Just get some people from all those networks to follow your Ghost handle (something like (@)index@yourdomainname.com) and then your posts will start to be pushed to those servers, and whoever follows you will see your posts show up in their Home feed.
