I just finally deployed something I've been working on for a few weeks now: a feed of my writing, posting, reading, and other various activity that lives on my website at https://www.mollywhite.net/feed!
I've admired the POSSE (https://indieweb.org/POSSE; "Publish [on your] Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere") model for a long time, but only finally found the time and energy to put something together that I'm actually happy with.
@molly0xfff The "micro posts" link is 404
@molly0xfff This is awesome. Subscribed!
One thing, when I click on a Micro.blog title in the RSS feed it looks like it’s having issues.
@rianvdm oop, thanks, missed a slug :)
@molly0xfff This is great. I've been thinking a lot about the ownership of data recently!
@molly0xfff One question: How does it post to Twitter/Mastodon/Bluesky? It looks like it's splitting longer posts across Tweets, but does it use the public Twitter API?
@bobbydigitales yep, it splits posts based on the maximum character limits of each service, with some manual finagling if i so choose. it uses the public twitter API, yes
@molly0xfff Awesome work and very inspirational! I've been working on a distributed (not crypto) social network and I plan to make it integrate like this. I think the future might be exactly this but without needing people to be able to host their own website.
@molly0xfff thanks for introducing me to this. Very cool.
@molly0xfff WOOHOOOO you're such an inspiration
@molly0xfff Hooray. Doing essentially this has been on my TODO list for a long while. I'm going to take this as inspiration to work on that!
@molly0xfff this is dope. I've been thinking about something similar.
@molly0xfff Just so I am following, you write in whatever Citation Needed is utilizing ( or post to the microblog ), then have your mollywhite.net/feed/ endpoint reflect that then choose what gets pushed to other services from that /feed/ ( after some delay so the CN/blog gets the source crawl first before the other services do? ) Its a very cool idea ( POSSE ), and I think it sounds super interesting.
@cyanbane more or less! there's no real delay
@molly0xfff hello, the art drew me in. I never heard of that term POSSE, I’m interested. Clinking the link to your site, I get this. Maybe its just me but the text is ghosted and when I hit the menu the text is strange, like overexposed.
@molly0xfff not to diminish what you achieved, which looks great, but this is similar to WordPress' ActitvityPub plugin, isn't it?
@joanpla you could definitely do a microblog with federation with wordpress and the plugin, but the crossposting to other networks, integration with my blog/reading lists, and a few other features would require more than that
@molly0xfff wow, really cool. learned something new. I like the posse philosophy.
What software did you use to achieve it ? or did you build your own ?
@ji836jduw built my own
@molly0xfff Cool! I know I'm being dense but is there an RSS format link or did I misunderstand?
@MattRose several! there's https://www.mollywhite.net/feed/feed.xml for the full feed, and a few others for sub-feeds
@molly0xfff brilliant! Thank you. (Subscribed, obs)
I think #POSSE is a good way to go for anyone who has the technical skill to do it, or the resources to hire someone else to do it for them 
You should have titled it : "Tortellini in my Minestrone"
