Determining the best fit for Mastodon instances.

• Mastodon

  1,235 46,871 10.0 Ruby

  Your self-hosted, globally interconnected microblogging community

  

  Mastodon is a great option. It supports text, pictures, and videos and is focused on small replies. Perfect for a comments section on a blog post. (It's also very popular, so your users can easily find additional help online.)

• SaaSHub

  www.saashub.com featured

  SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews. SaaSHub helps you find the best software and product alternatives

  

• Friendica

  60 1,421 0.0 PHP

  Friendica Communications Platform

  Friendica is powerful, but it's also very complex. If your primary goal for the server is simple discussions about your website, Friendica might be more than you need.

• WriteFreely

  66 4,444 7.2 Go

  A clean, Markdown-based publishing platform made for writers. Write together and build a community.

  

  If you're looking to publish long form content, you should also look at Write Freely. It's a blogging platform where the fediverse is baked in from the start. The plug-in you found will work great, especially when paired with a Mastodon instance. But it might be worth a look if you haven't seen it already. (That said it sounds like you want to deeply structure your content, so Write Freely might not be enough for your goals anyways.)
