@molly0xfff link isn’t opening

@molly0xfff 🎉

and now it's no longer online at all 😅 bear with me, you hugged it to death

back up, i think 🤞

@molly0xfff Congrats! SourceSerif looks really weird for some reason, it might be my installed fonts.

@ZacBelado i stuck cloudflare in front of it, but looks like i may need to look into something a little more.

@molly0xfff Ooh, Ghost! Would love to hear your experiences with it once some time passes, if that's something you'd want to write about :)

@basil there will be a newsletter issue about it very shortly!

@ZacBelado self-hosting Ghost

@molly0xfff oh sick! welcome to the Ghost family! i’ve used Ghost for about a year and i don’t think i could ever go back to blogging on a closed platform. i like owning my content fully.

@ZacBelado made some caching tweaks on my end too :)

@molly0xfff I recently paid $85 to support you on Substack and now you’re asking me to pay for a brand new subscription. I am very disappointed.

@mdrips you absolutely do not need to pay for a new subscription. all previous subscribers are still subscribed!

@buherator good lord, no

@Aissen oh dear, that's ... uh... jazzy

@hugh it's been transferred. you should be able to sign in at the new site under that email and see your subscription in the "Account" section.

@buherator will fix, thanks for the heads up

@molly0xfff woo!! i'm glad it has a more easily found RSS link, too, gonna go migrate my feed reeder to the new link now!

@MindmeshLink woo! the old feed URL should redirect to the new feed, fwiw

@molly0xfff Thank you for having principles.

@buherator should be better now!

@Aissen should be better now!

@molly0xfff Perfect !

@molly0xfff I'd very much like to hear about your migration process and the specific changes you have made to your Gost / Mailgun setup. What did you choose as your comments integration?

I'm myself hosting on Ghost but not yet leveraging the subscription/newsletter parts in large part because some things don't quite "click" for me. (not that anyone reads my stuff, but it would be nice to let them sign up 😉)

@jjcelery I'll be publishing on that shortly! the comments are ghost's built-in commenting feature. I believe it does require you to have the members feature turned on, though.

@molly0xfff
So my subscription transferred but my billing info (credit card) didn't. So auto-renew wouldn't have worked. Took two minutes for me to fix that (signed in, on the site, opened the email link back to the site, entered data on the account tab to relink my payment method).

Just a heads up in case it's not just me.

@molly0xfff one vote for some sort of unified verification please IDK what that looks like though

@kynyc unified verification?

@molly0xfff
Thank you for taking the principled stand, even though it's such a huge pain! Guess I'll use this occasion to upgrade to a paid subscription (after I figure out what happened to the email from your new site 😅)

@molly0xfff
Hi Molly, I haven't received your new newsletter outside of Substack yet: is this expected because of the technical issues and I should just wait or should I sign up to the new newsletter at your site?

@ddlyh hello! probably due to email sending issues on my end, but if you DM or email (molly@mollywhite.net) me your email address i can check it out to be sure.

@lwtong ruh roh, thanks for the heads up!

Lovely picture!

Are you going to federate, or is it just rss?

@8petros for now just RSS, but would love to federate at some point!

@ZhiZhu thanks for letting me know, I've updated the link 🙂 as for one-time donations, yes! https://www.mollywhite.net/support/
