Hey hunters! We're starting out down a brand new road today, excited to share our plans for bringing ActivityPub to Ghost with you - and hanging out in the comments to answer any questions that come up.
We've been thinking and working on how to create a decentralised network in one form or another for about 8 years (before ActivityPub was a thing) — and I'm excited that we're now finally getting started with it.

Who hunted Ghost ActivityPub?
Ghost ActivityPub was hunted by John O'Nolan. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
