I’m thinking of starting a blog to document a new project, having not blogged at all in probably about ten years at this point.
Was hoping someone who has already researched this stuff might be able to save me some time and give a tldr of the Fediverse-friendly platform options and their various pros and cons?
I know obviously WordPress has ActivityPub now, but am not sure exactly how well it works or how integrated it really is. Then there’s something called WriteFreely? Any others? Which do you prefer and why?
Really appreciate any pointers on this, and if this thread doesn’t turn up anything useful I promise to come back and do my own writeup after finding out the answers by myself.
Cheers!
I’ve been hearing a lot about https://micro.blog recently. I haven’t tried it, or blogged in a long time.
AFAIK it supports ActivityPub.
I also found a post in one micro.blog with a few of alternatives:
TL;DR: Tumblr / Ghost / Blot / Mastodon / Write.as / Jekyll
https://book.micro.blog/alternative-platforms/
EDIT: Manton Reece is the founder and lead developer of micro.blog
@Crul@lemm.ee @thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee neat, I never realized that micro.blog could federate itself in addition to crossposting to mastodon.
Thanks! Checking it out now
I also have tried this rather minimalist jotting site called thoughts.page a while back. Moreso a personal repository of rambling, quick thoughts than one alike Tumblr or Cohost, yet it’s generally seamless, most of the time.
