I left a comment on your server but it doesn’t seem to be federating so I’ll leave it here as well! original comment
Terribly sorry about nerd sniping you! I’m the owner of martijn.sh, and I’m guessing it was only a matter of time. We’re solving the same problem in a completely different way though, so I’ll definitely be following your progress and might use it for my lemmy instance as well.
The only difficulty I’ve found is when federating our small instances to lemmy. Your community only federates with other servers if at least one user on that instance is subscribed to it. An easy way to fast track federation is using lemmy-federate. If you register your instance and your community, an army of bots will automatically subscribe to your community making it available on many more instances at once. The only reason your server now federates with mine is because I searched for it manually and subscribed that way.
Anyway, best of luck on your blog. If you’ve questions or want to discuss, feel free to send me a message!

Oh, no ! I’ll have to look into that, thank you for noticing ! Any ideas how to debug that ?

No problem haha, I’ve been wanting this for a while already ^^

Interesting !

Thanks again !
Using Lemmy as a blog is an interesting idea, because it allows to distribute your posts to other users timelines easily, but does it do well in terms of cost of self hosting? How much more computational work does enabling federation require?
I have no idea, the documentation didn’t even warn there would be any.
I’ll keep you updated if I end up having any performance issues.

Completely unreadable. Fix your shit.
Oh I see, it’s Lemmy previewing the crosspost instead of redirecting to it.
I fixed it now.
Looks good on https://blog.kaki87.net/post/1
Yes, it’s fine. The issue isn’t with that post. It’s with this one, specifically with the external link preview, which isn’t Lemmy’s most reliable feature. It may not be an issue that OP can mitigate, and they may not need to, unless they intend to post links to their blog posts often.
Oh I didn’t notice your answer, yeah I figured the same, so I changed the links to lemmyverse.link instead.

Can you post what you’re seeing? Looks like a Lemmy instance to me.
Seems like the crosspost markdowns are not parsed
I don’t think this is a crossposting issue; I think it’s an external link preview issue.
