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.

It’s 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)

ActivityPub server that can run on Docker with external db?

Ask HN: How to set up WordPress server with a read only file system
> Yes WordPress is bad. I should use a static site generator with nearly free hosting anyways
I operate a few blogs running Bludit[0]. I do this since WP is highly complex. I like to keep it simple. But Wordpress is handy if you're a control freak and love to tinker.
Why do you want a read-only filesystem for WP? I have several WP installs running under XAMPP, and if I want to, I could have a hundred, or...a thousand for testing purposes.

Ghost seems broken, any alternatives?
Recently, I switched from Wordpress to https://www.bludit.com/ , so far loving it. But then again, I don't need much. Just simple UI, Text, some images in Blogpost and MD to write stuff. That's it.
