Posse what? You can literally publish on your own site and syndicate elsewhere using anything whatsoever, including typing .html files into /var/www, if that's your thing.

Awesome initiative. Will delve into this. It's how the web should be.

I still feel RSS was the pinnacle. Of course it’s a personal preference, but I much prefer letting people pull my content than pushing it onto them.

It’s also a lot less wasteful and more respectful in my opinion. Scattering content everywhere in the hope others will see it doesn’t feel right to me.

The concept is sound, but the syndicate part is becoming increasingly hostile to maintain. I used to have scripts that auto-posted to twitter, facebook and reddit. Over the last two years, almost all of those broke due to API paywalls or aggressive bot detection.

I've found that "POSSE" is shifting more toward "Publish on Own Site, Manually Link Elsewhere."

Paradoxically, ActivityPub (mastodon/fediverse) is the only place where true automated syndication is still reliable. I think the future of POSSE isn't trying to hack together API keys for walled gardens, but treating your personal site as a fedi instance so the syndication is native.

I wish there was a way to plug in Fedi hosting with a static site generator, but iirc the protocol currently doesn’t allow that

For basic functionality, it is possible! https://paul.kinlan.me/adding-activity-pub-to-your-static-si...

> You can't just output a feed of posts and be done (I tried) - so even if you are a statically generated site you need a Server component ... My implementation uses Hugo to create my posts and feed data, Vercel Serverless functions to handle in bound messages, and Firebase Firestore to store the data.

Because RSS readers are coming up in comments, if you are using one, which one would you recommend? For Linux AND Android?

Feeder on Android is my pick. Thunderbird does RSS, and I already use it for email, so it's a nice all in one on Linux. Both can use OPML files to import/export your feeds.

Self-hosted FreshRSS to grab the content and reading on a Proper Browser. NetNewsWire as a mobile reader that connects to FreshRSS.

Philosophically this is what we need more, but linkedin is absolutely tanking engagement for posts that have links.

Because it's not benefiting them in any way when users leave the website, especially to some 'unsafe/unapproved' website.

I really wish Bsky/mastodon has something like RSS so I can static host them for both publishing and aggregating .

Doesn't bsky support rss: profile_url/rss ?

For example: This is rss for Simon Willison: https://bsky.app/profile/simonwillison.net/rss

I wish I could host the RSS and the bsky network can accept them.

Doesn't work with a lot of subreddits though, which ban posting links to your own site.
