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?
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
