Currently pitting semi-self-hosted¹ #Listmonk and #Notifuse against my current newsletter host #Buttondown. Want to know how they fare.

I really like BD but my subscriber base is >1k which means I spend $29 on each monthly mail. Fiscally, that's not a winning proposition right now for me as I'm still not made of money, and all those costs add up.

I need to bring my own mail server for both (or use one of the supported services, like SES or Postmark.)

¹) PikaPods.com FTW! #EU, too

Massive thanks to @buttondown for the best customer service ever!

There was a burp with one of my blog posts, where, probably thanks to my botching the publication date, it didn't get picked up by my newsletter. I have a handful of family and friends who don't use RSS and rely on the RSS-to-Email function I get from Buttondown.

When we realized the problem, I could fix the date in future posts, but there seemed to be no way to get my Buttondown account to pick up that one older post and send it out. So some very nice employee named Justin literally coded that option! Probably on a Friday night since I got email about it this morning! So bonkers kind, thank you so much! ❤️

I haven't seen many users yet on #PlaneScale for #postgres. Nice of #buttondown trying things for the rest of us. 😅

For migrations like this, spinning up a read replica is key. Use it to do what you need. Primary then gets no impact while migrating.

@timkmak
Hey Tim,

I love the work you and your team do. I wonder why you display that work on a website that specifically raises money for literal nazis.

There are several turnkey platforms you could replace #substack with, such as #ghost, #buttondown, and #beehiv.

There are (at least) hundreds of us who will NEVER share a substack link - including all of yours - because we will not willingly raise funds for nazis.

Zase to podnikání dělám špatně. Tentokrát dělám zdarma práci pro jiné podnikatele, abych pak za peníze mohl použít jejich produkt 😆

Looking to move my writing off of #Substack. I think a subdomain on my website allows me the flexibility to not use a Wordpress solution, which is what my main site is running on, correct?

I know about #Ghost and #Beehiiv and #Buttondown and Movable Type. What other solutions should I look at? I want to post both longer #newsletter pieces as well as shorter #blog style posts that people only see if they subscribe via #RSS or go directly to the site. I also have a lot of media-heavy archives to import, so doing that with ease would be a priority.

Thanks for indirectly introducing me to #ButtonDown @WeirdWriter. For those who (like me) aren't familiar with it, it's an email newsletter engine, akin to Ghost, who I see are also working on ActivityPub integration. So we'll be able to follow ButtonDown newsletters with our fediverse accounts, and comment on posts;

#fediverse #ActivityPub

I'm trying to make my #email #newsletters feed more manageable and started using #Inoreader to check issues in masse. I was able to export a #opnl list of all the WordPress blogs I'm following. But #Substack doesn't have such a feature. Can this be done through other newsletter carriers, such as #beehiiv, #buttondown, etc? I'm still a bit new to #rssreaders.

I really appreciate folks making the #SmallWeb #IndieWeb more capable. @scottandrew has some interesting work implementing a combination of #Eleventy and #ButtonDown to enhance sites with subscriber-only content. https://scottandrew.com/blog/2025/01/integrating-eleventy-with-buttondown-to-create-sub/

Did you know that #substack, where MANY folks who post on here maintain there news letters are profiting from #racism, #nazis and other "free speech extremists"?

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/11/substack-extremism-nazi-white-supremacy-newsletters/676156/

Despite backlash, #substack doubled down to protect their nazis, and their right to pay nazis to generate nazi content for their nazi-welcome platform.

You left twitter when it became a nazi bar, you can also leave substack.

Instead, try #ghost, #buttonDown, or any of a dozen other options.

Fuck nazis, and fuck substack.

I chose #Buttondown for my #newsletter due to its open #API. My API use has been limited so far, but I'm improving. If you're starting out, learning from my experiences might be helpful. 🤓👇

When #Musk bought #Twitter and turned it into #X, I was disappointed that he blew up the social network I used most. More than a year later, I view Musk’s acquisition of Twitter as a gift. It brought users to #Mastodon, motivated #Meta to build and federate #Threads, and created momentum for federating newsletter services like #Buttondown and #Ghost. Through #ActivityPub, Musk was instrumental creating federated network effects and a much better ecosystem of third-party apps.

Updated my newsletter again with everything else I wanted to cover in the previous update :mastorofl:

This one is mostly substar stuff, small thoughts on art and AO3--and some more thoughts, this time initial, about leather. A lot of it comes from my latest blog post, so I'll link that too.

As I write the new scenes for season 3 of Fern River Club, I am also brainstorming about how to connect more like-minded readers with the project.

I just know there are loads of sensitive and curious readers out there who would love these subtly sexy, aesthetically rigorous, unconventional stories!

How can I connect with them? I am open to any and all ideas, fine people of the fediverse!

I do things other than #gardening. Currently working on a few fair-size projects inc #WoodMeadow & #HopeGarden, so I'm trying to get organised. Can totally recommend #Obsidian note taking app. I use it for managing tasks with Tasks & Obligator plugin, vaguely following "Capture, to do, next action" organisation outlined by Geet Duggal. Also use for writing #Hugo website & #Buttondown newsletter. Everything in #Markdown & #PlainText ✊
