Wrote up a blog post about integrating Mastodon with my Astro website!
I had a lot of fun incorporating Mastodon's RSS feed and API into my site, and building a custom landing page for my content.

@lindsaykwardell How do you like astro? I've heard good things but haven't tried it yet. Are you using it with Vue?
@Trey I really enjoy it! I migrated my blog from Nuxt to Astro back before they switched to Vite. Feels comfortable to work with.
I also use Vue for a couple components, like a search on the home page, and getting them working is very straightforward.
@lindsaykwardell this is great, thanks for sharing!
Do you know if there is a way to get your web finger address (I guess that’s what it’s called) to show up as your handle here on mastodon (instead of your “@mastodon.social” handle) without going the full host-your-own-instance route?
@goulet I believe so, you would just need to host some more APIs for integrating with ActivityPub and things. Unsure how replies and boosts would work, but it’s possible.
