• 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 / 7 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: about 1 year 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: about 1 year 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

• Looking for a novel plotting software.

  Quoll Writer is free and might fit the bill! I know it does the link thing. Source: about 1 year ago

• Writing tools - Scrivener on sale

  Does Scrivener have any real benefit over free software like Quoll Writer or yWriter? I've used yWriter in the past. I'm using Quoll Writer for my current project and it does everything I need it to do. Source: about 1 year ago

• What do ya'll typically use to write with?

  My go-to suggestions for free are Quoll Writer or Smart Edit Writer for things with a lot of the functionality of Scrivener, without the clutter or price tag, or Wavemaker if you want heavier planning tools (plot cards, time line, database etc). Source: about 1 year ago

• Writing programs?

  Practically any text editor will do :) Word or its free/open-source equivalents. You can also have a look at this post that I made a while ago. Some other examples of free writing software (with outlining/notes and such) include Quoll Writer, yWriter or SmartEdit Writer. Source: about 1 year ago

• What is something that is super cheap, but vastly improves your quality of life?

  I write and liked Scrivener but it felt a little too bloated. I just want a word processor that does that, but simplified. I use Quoll Writer and they just introduced night mode. Best of all, it's free! Source: about 1 year ago
