Federated blog platforms? (ideally lightweight)

Submitted ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨kyonshi@piefed.social⁩ to ⁨fediverse@lemmy.world⁩

So I am trying to get a blog running on my VPS, and I already managed to use WordPress for that, but I really would like something a bit more basic. I also managed to get writefreely running and was not impressed with that (unlike WP it basically just pushed a single link post into the fediverse and didn’t allow any further interactions).
Plume doesn’t seem to be developed anymore.
Is there any other app for single-users that allows federation?

Wafrn might be worth a look. I’ve been meaning to try it myself.

Maybe not what you’re looking for but Lemmy has been used that way.

Ghost might fit your needs.

  Ok…but this looks way too enterprise?

    Molly White does a better job at explaining what Ghost is than I could. She did so on Ed Zitron’s podcast, Better Offline a little while back. Sorry, but other than that I’d just do some more research.
    
    Here is said episode.

    It’s a non profit and open source. But they do the same as WF, basically just an account that posts links to your blog.

You might see if GoToSocial suits your needs.

Most microblogging platforms actually don’t artificially limit the amount you can write, unlike Mastodon, so they can also work for macro-blogging.

  Mastodon’s character limit is pretty easy to change when self-hosting, but it has other limitations like a lack of even basic formatting and images inline in posts. I think that’s true of several of the others as well.

    I changed it by using GTS instead
