AgenDAV VS WriteFreely

I ended up using agendav but its quite limited and adding people to calendars is a bit janky.

agenDAV: https://github.com/agendav/agendav

I think Mealie, Planka, and AgenDAV (backend)/Sabre (frontend) would allow you to do all those things self-hosted, albeit not all in one place.

Thanks, this looks really amazing! I was looking at AgenDAV but Bloben looks much nicer. Then again, as long as I don't have a solution for email (web UI to access multiple accounts via imap) and contacts as well, just switching the calendar seems rather pointless.

The only web client I know of is: https://github.com/agendav/agendav

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.

It's all about federation, in these federated networks all these servers talk to eachother and exchange messages about stuff going on on the servers. So it's easy to set up a hidden service for the webui of one of them, but it's sometimes quite obscure to try and set up the federation for one of them. It depends on what settings they honor and what other types of encryption and authentication they require and stuff. But, if you put some effort in ahead of time, you can make it really simple: I don't know how to do it in rust(lemmy is written in rust), but here's a neat example of how to do it in Go: https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/pull/710 which requires no complicated configuration.

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

I also wish write.as were more popular. It's like old Medium, but less popular but with a more reader-friendly business model and self-host-able (AGPL v3)

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