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

Replatforming from Gatsby to Zola!
So after shopping around a bit I found a simple, dependency-less static site generator called Zola. The lack of dependencies sounded very attractive after all the headaches trying to update my Gatsby modules. I wanted to give Zola a try and see what tradeoffs I would need to make coming form a React-based framework to this Rust-based generator.

Ask HN: What's the simplest static website generator?
I think you're thinking about Zola: https://github.com/getzola/zola
But yes, if I were to recommend something, it'd be Zola given that there's just one executable that you need to run and there's absolutely no setup required.

Ask HN: So, static website generators and hosting in 2023/24. What's out there?
I've used Zola (https://github.com/getzola/zola) for a static project homepage a few years ago to showcase examples with a simple description and a wasm app embedded in the page, it worked perfectly for me and the docs was clear on how to use it. It was very easy to set up along with a GitHub action to automatically update the wasm binaries when needed. It is definitely a tool I keep in my mental toolbox as a good default.

Gojekyll – 20x faster Go port of jekyll
I'm currently learning https://www.getzola.org/.
It's more manual than idy like but it's gonna be for a small personal and work website so I don't mind much.
It's super fast.
Doesn't seem to fit your use casr but still.

The right way to build a dynamic personal website for a physics student?
(Note: that list is overwhelming; you don't need to go through it. Order by popularity and look at the top 3-5 at most. Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby... Personally I'm using Zola [ https://www.getzola.org/ ] for a couple of sites, but that's just me.)
