writefreely.el VS WriteFreely

Shameless plug: back in the day I put together an Emacs package to push org-files directly to an writefreely instance. Literally 0 friction to start a blog. https://github.com/dangom/writefreely.el

Im hoping someone makes it package like writefreely.el Im still not very skilled with elisp but I will maybe make it in the future. Atleast we now have a solution.

WriteFreely or Plume

https://writefreely.org is my favorite and very easy to get running. It supports multiple users with multiple blogs and custom CSS.

May be worth considering: Lightweight ActivityPub writing platform, straightforward to self-host but there are also managed hosts: https://writefreely.org/

write.as and https://writefreely.org/ are what you want, but static and activitypub don't reallllyyyy go together without shims in the middle.

Plenty of people are migrating into the Fediverse, mostly towards Mastodon/Plemora in my circles but there's also writefreely, a federated macroblogging platform. Every account in the Fediverse can access and follow others, even across services.

Related to the recent post on Mastodon. All these implementations speak the same higher-level protocol and you can therefore connect, follow, and share between them.

Two more not mentioned:

https://writefreely.org/ (Blog platform)

https://bookwyrm.social/ (Goodreads alternative)

Since you didn't say it, I'll mention that fediverse is not limited to microblogging. For long form blogging there is, e.g., https://writefreely.org/

To me it feels like RSS on steroids. Best of the modern web (technology) combined with the best of early 2000s web (decentralization).

Also if you think this sounds neat and don't have a blog setup of choice already: https://writefreely.org/

I would suggest you could try a Write.Freely blog - it's free, simple and clean. And there are various hosts you can get an account on. It's the platform I use for my personal Blogs in Slowly matters and Technology.
