Since I joined Lemmy a couple months back, one of the ideas I saw mentioned by the Lemmy people for blogging is this: start a Community and make yourself the only poster. You can invite people to be co-posters.

Yes, it has the limits of Lemmy posting. No making your own HTML or fancy backgrounds. But so far as -text- is concerned, the sky’s the limit.

I thought about this, but without hosting my own instance it could be kind of annoying to export and backup.

Also considered a dedicated Mastodon account somewhere with a decent character limit, but I’m not sure what form their content export takes and whether it would be usable as a backup, more research needed there.

Thanks for the suggestion!

  could be kind of annoying to export and backup. True that. Altho, if I were doing a blog, it’d be from stuff I wrote and then posted. (As for comments, how many are worth saving?)
  
  I thought about it too, but I really like HTML and CSS, and prefer a place I can use them. (I’d get interested if I could put anything I want inside a styled <div>…</div>, but sadly few places accomodate that. What they’re worried about I’m uncertain. I’m HOPING that such sites will arise in the Fediverse.)

  For backup and export, Lemmy does support RSS
