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?

Looking for a statically deployed site-builder / CMS that stores content in GitHub
Microfeed (https://www.microfeed.org/) is what I want from a UI/UX perspective, but it's not really self hosted (it's completely dependent on Cloudflare services for hosting).

How to Start Your Blog in 2023
If you like Cloudflare and want to host a few GB media files (e.g., audio, video...) for free, then you can try microfeed: https://github.com/microfeed/microfeed

Tumblr-like blogging/microblogging
Closest I find is https://www.microfeed.org/ but it's more for sharing media files rather than a microblog.

Ask HN: What would be your stack if you are building an MVP today?
i’ve been using django/postgres for over a decade. if it were 5 years ago, i’d use django/postgres.
but recently i would use cloudflare pages, r2, d1, zero trust… in many cases, we don’t want to put eggs in the same basket. but in some cases (eg, building mvp, toy projects…), it’s convenient to be on an all-in-one platform .
for example, i recently launched a cms entirely on cloudflare: https://www.microfeed.org/

edge-blog
I feel like microfeed: https://github.com/microfeed/microfeed and Argun Ganesan’s Edge Blog, both enabled by the open alpha of D1, represent a point of change where users of Cloudflare’s developer platform are moving from deploying their own apps to deploying apps created by others.
