Not exactly what I was looking for, but it was easy to use and fast. They offer multiple ways to integrate the blog and write from anywhere.
This looks really nice, and it's also the first time I hear about Good Enough. Big fan of the Basecamp-ish design with "real" large buttons. I was considering https://micro.blog/ in the past but Pika looks a bit more polished, especially the simple editor. If someone were to move their Hugo blog to Pika, do you offer a way to import existing blogs, or for example set redirect URLs? - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
Hnrss.org (https://hnrss.github.io/) provides a JSON feed version for every feed, just append .jsonfeed to any endpoint. Known (https://withknown.com/) also provides JSON feeds micro.blog (https://micro.blog/) does as well wordpress also has plugins available that generate JSON feeds. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
Go private with something like Haven[1], or stay public but on a platform that explicitly avoids "viral loops" like Micro.blog[2] [1]: https://havenweb.org [2]: https://micro.blog. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
We should all have blogs and reboot "Web rings" mines run on https://micro.blog. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
Micro.blog seems to be a hosted service. So why would anyone use a tunneling service along with that? Source: 12 months ago
I'm a blogger and writer. I've been mostly active since 2018, first on WordPress but since 2020, another platform took over with me, and it is Micro.blog. There are many reasons for that: it is simple to use, my content stays mine, and there is a community around it. There are no such things as likes, reblog, boost or any non-chronological timeline or any of the usual social network s***. Source: about 1 year ago
I think they confused https://microblog.pub with https://micro.blog -- a different activitypub-able microblogging platform. Source: about 1 year ago
My recommendation is to go to https://micro.blog and do the trial offer there and see if you like it then pay US$5/month afterwards. You'd get everything you're asking for, plus the head admin is VERY responsive on and will answer all questions as he is very close to both the Indieweb and ActivityPub projects himself.

This is probably not a popular answer. For my blog I use Tumblr. I don't have any complex needs and Tumblr does everything I need it to do. I use my own domain and a simple theme so most people that visit the website don't even realize it's hosted on Tumblr. Having said that, if I were to create a new blog right now I would most likely choose Github pages or https://micro.blog/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
Another option that I looked into was https://micro.blog. It’s a paid service but I’m pretty sure you can follow others from the platform, do microcasts (short podcasts), email newsletters etc. It also has a discover feature like read.write.as. This might be a platform worth looking into. Source: over 1 year ago
I don't know what was the first, but I do know that micro.blog and write.as (paid hosting for Write Freely, so I guess that could be lumped in with paid Mastodon as a category) are monetized, and they both support ActivityPub. Source: over 1 year ago
I really, really want to spend more time with micro.blog, which hosts my personal, non-professional blog and cross-posts to Twitter and Mastodon. It does an interesting job of merging a Twitter-like public feed with the option to do more long-form blogging or photo-sharing. Its design choices and culture are a little sedate and don't really encourage the kind of discourse I enjoy reading or participating in. The... Source: over 1 year ago
I’ll probably use Micro Blog. It’s not affiliated with any advertising platform and I can simply pay to host entries there. Source: almost 2 years ago
The developer is super supportive of community driven development and has open sourced all the native platform applications so people can make their own competing clients built onto of the micro.blog infrastructure. Source: almost 2 years ago
I kind of think Favorites are the real problem across the site, and appreciate that micro.blog draws the line at bookmarks that are visible only to the people who save them. It's a much less angry place to be. I can't help but believe that some of Metafilter's worst actors are reinforced by favorites counting. Source: almost 2 years ago
They have both been built (by manton reece and matt baer, respectively) with the "indie web" in mind. micro.blog is more a microblog/friendly social platform with easy commenting built in, write.as has just started rolling out native commenting between write.as users. Source: about 2 years ago
Hey there, in my experience it's a case of gently getting used to sharing your writing online. The friendliest places I've found so far to do this are micro.blog (a place to share your writing with a warm community), and write.as (more of a blank canvas to share your writing in a "quiet" space"). Slow and steady does it, and both of these places are a great place to practise (I currently use both myself). :). Source: about 2 years ago
Seeing as you like "genuine" comments, and if you're looking to make meaningful connections, you might wish to check out micro.blog. I've been on there for a few months now, and it's quite refreshing. The /discover tab on there gives you a little peek inside; you can write both shorter (micro) posts, as well as longer (more typical) blog posts. Source: about 2 years ago
I really like a lot of what the IndieWeb community has come up with. There is a big focus on building things yourself within that community which means a lot of the members of the community are very dev-heavy. https://micro.blog seems to be the public-facing, easy-to-use platform that adopts most of the IndieWeb technology but for a non-tech crowd--very different community that you might also enjoy perusing. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
I am looking to just dive into a platform and start writing. What platforms would you recommend? I have identified https://write.as/ and https://micro.blog/ as a start. Other suggestions are welcome. Source: about 2 years ago
Blogger will still get indexed for sure. But, if you can, it might still be worth setting up a domain (e.g. namecheap), for something just a few $. Most platforms will let you use a custom domain. Btw, there's also a platform called micro.blog which is quite developer/techy and might be a nice place to get feedback on your Artificial Intelligence posts. I have a 2-months-free link for that platform. Source: about 2 years ago
