Putting this Blog on Mastodon

If all goes well with the configuration, this will be the first post posted on the new Mastodon profile for this blog.

While I have shared my posts on Mastodon via my personal profile, I tend to read a lot more than I write there, so linking to my own posts feels immodest.

I have seen various blogging encouragements recently, achieving some level of personal resonance since reddit ruined itself.

So last night, I created a Mastodon profile for this blog and used Canva’s AI to generate a profile picture:

I had planned to self-host feed2toot on my home server, but I realized while trying to set it up that mastodon.social doesn’t support basic authentication - and feed2toot doesn’t support OAuth. Instead, I’m trying out MastoFeed to do the integration.

If it works, you should be able to follow my blog at quippd blog on Mastodon in addition to RSS. Please do!
