Ghost 6.0 - The open source product that generates $100M+ for creators
by•
Networked publishing with ActivityPub, deeply integrated native analytics, a huge number of improvements, and $100M+ earned by indie publishers. Our biggest-ever release. The most exciting thing on PH today that has nothing to do with AI. Probably.

I tried installing 5.8.3 into a shared hosting environment at pair.com and failed. It doesn't write a log as to what failed. It just stops. Would I have any better luck with 6.0 and is there any tricks I'm overlooking to get it installed (like installing locally and then uploading the files). I'd like to play with this, but I'm a hobbyist, not someone who needs a full blown paid account. I'd like to use it in the environment I'm already comfortable with.

@cjorgensen 5.8.3 was released in 2022, so, definitely not the expected version to be installing. I'm not familiar with pair, but generally Ghost doesn't run in shared environments. We have detailed guides in our docs: https://docs.ghost.org
I saw this update in my dashboard today. I currently use Ghost for my main German website and Substack for my English content. The reason is, because it's still impossible to make a multi-language site with Ghost (will this change in the future?). Also the social aspect was missing - which now should be there but I'm still not sure how exactly this works and how to gain followers inside of Ghost. I will have to look into this over the next days.

Dang, open source AND fiercely independent? That’s such a breath of fresh air for publishing—so tired of being locked into platforms. Does Ghost make migrations easy if I’m coming from WordPress?
@joey_zhu_seopage_ai Very easy: https://docs.ghost.org/migration/wordpress
That is very cool
No more juggling platforms or losing revenue to fees. This all-in-one solution lets creators publish, build community, and monetize, from newsletters to memberships with full control. Decentralized, open source, and 0% payment fees? That’s creator-first infrastructure done right

Built-in distribution is awsome!

Native analytics suite is great for bloggers. Really helpful to understand traffic better.

Impressive update! The ActivityPub integration meaningfully expands distribution and engagement across platforms, and the built-in analytics adds a much-needed layer of insight for creators. Ghost 6.0 is a solid step forward for independent publishing infrastructure.
Seems interesting. Do you folks also support users in Asian sub continent? Curious because substack and others have limited payment method for Asian sub-continent... hence curious

With ActivityPub integration, can Ghost 6.0 now federate comment threads across different platforms?
