    Not a bad option, but what are the potential advantages over using the Pages feature of Misskey forks, or simply Wordpress?

    Substack itself didn’t even present a correct UI to me on mobile so I never bothered with it when it was initially popularized. Still seems to have the issue, too.

        FediDB is really the best way to look around for servers. Totally being actively developed, there’s way too many forks IMHO, but I’m sure the project maintainers would disagree for the time being.

        Misskey.io seems to have range banned a lot of stuff so it’s not a good demo instance. You can’t translate the Japanese posts while logged out, either!

      Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I consider wordpress open core at best these days.

      A lot of really basic features like lightboxes that should be in core are in their “jetpack” SaaS plugin. This by default sends automattic a whole bunch of telemetry, which I assume they are now selling to OpenAI, and puts ads in your dashboard for other commercial SaaS features.

      There’s also the fact that they don’t allow forks of open source plugins in their plugin repository.

        That’s really good to know, thanks, I’d assumed they were a shitty blob company until I heard they were adding federation, but I guess that intuition was correct. Sounds almost Threads-tier.
