Hi Yousuf Thanks for this, happy to work along side Popey (Alan Pope IIRC) and others in the team to try and get the mastodon instance in use.
What is the backend on the xubuntu website ? If it is able to run the Activity Pub protocol [1] then it should be possible to subscribe to the blog from the mastodon account, that way any updates to the blog will be federated to the mastodon server.
