• Advice on blogging platform

  I've used a number of platforms over the years, from Wordpress to https://svbtle.com/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What Happened to Svbtle?

  I use https://svbtle.com as a blogging platform about once a month. The past couple of days it has returned a 503 [1]. Nothing came up on Twitter or Google about them having an outage. I don't know how to figure out what's going on. I've never considered backing any of my content up because of the svbtle Promise [2]. I'm hoping it comes back up so I can at least backup/migrate my content. [1]... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Which blogging platform should I use?

  You might like what we've built with Write.as [0]. It's Markdown-based, but without all the publishing overhead of a static site generator. There are a lot of other great small platforms that are made especially for blogging, rather than being general-purpose like some of the options you mentioned. E.g. Bear Blog [1] and Svbtle [2] [0] https://write.as [1] https://bearblog.dev [2] https://svbtle.com. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• One of the greatest user interface disasters in history

  Mastodon is a microblogging service, so not meant for large bodies of text. This is why the text entry box is small, the columns are somewhat narrow (especially in deck mode) etc. Platforms like https://writefreely.org/ , which are designed to be for blogging and long-form writing, are the place to write this. Write Freely federates so one can follow accounts and interact with posts via Mastodon etc. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Which platform for occasional blog posts?

  An alternative to Plume is WriteFreely, which is a pretty clean & simple experience. Just don't expect to much regarding customization. Source: 11 months ago

• ActivityPub server that can run on Docker with external db?

  And since you've mentioned you want to write a blog, take a look at WriteFreely: https://writefreely.org/. Source: 12 months ago

• Writefreely

  I'm not sure what you've tried to install, but WriteFreely is Open Source and thus free of charge. There is commercial hosting of it, eg. write.as, but with those you don't have to worry about installing it. Source: about 1 year ago

• Newbie Question

  Instead of joining a Mastodon server, have you considered joining a write.freely server? Write.freely is a decentralized platform for writers that integrates the ActivityPub protocol, so anyone in the Fediverse can interact with your posts. This may be more well suited for your needs, although if you still want to join a Mastodon server there are many good answers in this thread. Source: about 1 year ago
