Now, you can embed Mastodon posts in Medium stories
on Misskey: https://github.com/misskey-dev/misskey/issues/9504
There is a lot of resistance to the idea. The browser UX for registering protocols is not particularly intuitive. The protocol should not be named after Mastodon because they are defensive of their trademark, and it wouldn't be accurate since the user identifier could be followed from any ActivityPub compatible software.
If you look at the newer comments on the Mastodon github thread I posted you can see web+ap:// recommended, or apub://
I think there just needs to be enough collective will to make this happen. Likely another project will need to take the lead because Mastodon team has decided the browser UX is too much of a barrier. Maybe glitch-soc can do a proof of concept.

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.

Hi. I created a copy on Lemmy just in case Reddit goes down the drain. If any of the current mods wants mod access there, just let me know. If you think this is a horrible idea, also let me know and I'll remove it.
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.

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.

Itโs 2023. Start using JavaScript Map and Set
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)
