Bulkhead OS supports content federation — publishing your content to Mastodon, the fediverse, and RSS readers without any third-party tools.
What Is Federation?
Federation means your content can be followed and read from other platforms. When you enable federation on a post, it appears on Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey, and any ActivityPub-compatible service as if you posted it natively there.
How to Enable
- Go to Workspace Settings → Federation
- Enable ActivityPub federation
- Your site now has a fediverse identity — people can follow it from Mastodon
- When you publish content with the Federate toggle on, it's pushed to your followers
RSS & Atom Feeds
Every site automatically generates feeds at:
/feed.xml— RSS 2.0/feed.json— JSON Feed 1.1
These are auto-discovered by feed readers like Feedly, Inoreader, and NetNewsWire.
POSSE: Publish Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere
Bulkhead OS follows the POSSE principle — your site is the canonical source of truth. Content is published on your domain first, then syndicated to the fediverse and other platforms. This ensures you always own your content and your URLs.
