Grow Your Own Services 🌱

If a Mastodon server closes down, members can download offline post archives, but there's currently no official way to display these archives online.

A proposed solution by @oliphant is a static website generator they have created called "Posty", which turns Mastodon public post archives into standalone static public websites:

➡️ codeberg.org/oliphant/posty

It could be useful for servers that are closing down, admins could perhaps offer this as a service to their members.

Codeberg.orgpostyTurn your Mastodon archive file into a standalone static HTML site. Easy to customize, easy to search, all posts also indexed not just chronologically, but on tag pages.

@homegrown @oliphant I've used the converter too. Very pleased with the results, will be hosting on my own site very soon
