Mostly in the heading, I tried substack but hated it so am now signed on to ghost pro. The one thing I thought seemed useful was the image substack generated to help promote posts on social. It would be great if ghost had some way to do something similar, but looking at the integrations ghost offers it looks like they’re more geared towards embedding social content in ghost, not sharing ghost content to social.
Ghost shares the feature image of your post on social media. Are you expecting something else?
The issue is I don’t really use images. It’s all just writing or audio posts, so there’s nothing for Ghost to post, which is why I’m asking this question.
In the post editor, there’s an option to set a custom message for social media sharing. You can set a custom image that’s used on FB, Google, and many other places via Facebook card, as well as one that’s used on Twitter, or uh, X via Twitter card.
While these images aren’t autogenerated, they can be created fairly efficiently using Canva or something similar.
