Blogger Alternative for the Fediverse (lemmy.zip)

[UPDATE] Thank you for your comments but I found that Write Freely was well on paper but not funny to set up (self hosting) and maybe a little dead. I found that https://bearblog.dev met the specifications well. Although it is not integrated into the Fediverse, it is free and respectful of privacy!

Everything is in the title. I am looking for a FREE alternative to Blogger but that allows me to share Blog articles in the Fedivers. I don’t like WordPress.com because it is very limited in its free version and not very transparent about privacy in my opinion unlike WordPress.org. In short, if you have any suggestions, I’m taking it!

Maybe https://writefreely.org/ ? But it's very simple with not a lot of customisation

Or https://joinplu.me/ but its development has been halted lately

Why did you say Write Freely seems to be dead? According to their GitHub organisation repositories, the backend has a release tagged 4 months ago and the iOS app 3 months ago.

openhub defines it as "moderately active".

Interesting. Thank you for sharing, didn’t know openhub!

I don’t know... I would have liked them to set up a system of instances like on Lemmy or Mastodon to remove the price barrier + lazy to pay an app €12.

Is something like write freely or plume what you're looking for?

I heard that WordPress has some sort of fediverse plugin, but no idea how far they got.

https://ghost.org/ has fediverse integration iirc

[–] Zak@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Not yet, but they're actively developing ActivityPub support.

Plume is pretty cool
