Just trying to check and make sure I never missed any. Is it just writefreely and plume right now?
So weird that no one mentioned https://micro.blog/ Which only after Mastodon was the second platform to adopt ActivityPub.
I can’t find anything regarding self-hosting this
Is it closed source? What are the community rules? Beside the obvious content being not allowed, does it censor political speech? Define what is considered hate speech, etc?
Writefreely?
What is it or why am I looking for an alternative?
Did not readed full post, sorry.
There’s also a Fediverse plugin for WordPress if you already have a host. Caveat: I have only seen it on Fediverse directories. No idea whether it’s any good.
I hear all this talk about WordPress, but at the same time, they’re selling users’ content to AI, so I don’t want to continue to use them.
I keep wondering if lemmy itself could do a decent job of this, and that being native to a communities style platform is a good thing for a blogging platform on the fediverse.
Lemmy absolutely could, but it shouldn’t. It’s a far better link aggregator than it will ever be a blog platform,
but it shouldn’t
I’m curious about why you think this relatively strongly (if you don’t mind my asking)?
I’m a big fan of tools made for purpose. Lemmy has some fantastic features and continues to improve, but it was never designed as a blogging platform. Even when I duplicate self text posts, it doesn’t merge. In the timeline. I like Lemmy and want to see it succeed. Though that’s not easy with the ML administration team going rogue or the overt centralization fostered on world, but neither of those are software issues.
What do you mean by the “ml team going rogue”?
