Idea for experiment: mail to fediverse?

@selfhosted

My ambition: having people writing to “username @ domain dot ext” and mail content goes into public, or private, on fediverse “handle @ domain . ext”.

Someone already did it? Pros and cons? Disadvantages are more than benefits?

I heard about a trick called “mail2mastodon” but before doing deeper research I first wanted to understand how the effort is, and if it’s worth.

    could be however you’re making the posts is configured to default to NSFW? 🤷‍♀️ I don’t know what platform you’re using, but based on the tags I assume Mastodon?

      @dandelion I’ll check my app’s settings then. Maybe it’s something wrong in them. I’ll adjust it, if so. Thanks for warnings (when many people say there’s something wrong, it’s the case to check our setup)

        much luck! I wish I was able to help more, but I don’t use Mastodon and I’m not too familiar with this issue unfortunately 😞
