Hi! I’m looking to publish a blog that can be discovered through interactions on the fediverse, and potentially displays replies as comments. I had set up WriteFreely and, though it is missing the replies feature, it seemed pretty well-made. However, when I tried to publish my post, pressing “Move to [blog name]” made it disappear. It’s still in the stats page but clicking on it shows “This page is missing.” It seems really buggy, hasn’t had a release in almost a year, and my post would be lost if I hadn’t made a backup. Are there any other good options for publishing a blog?

    Fascinating. I actually just started a self hosted wordpress and might try this. Maybe… Getting mastodon people in the comments might not be a positive thing. 🤔

        It’s a toss up. There are a lot of people on Mastodon and I wouldn’t want to somehow get drama on my personal blog that is not really meant to be seen by the wider world. It’s harmless content to be sure, but the internet is a weird place. I would potentially want to keep it isolated and just use Mastodon when I want to.

            Everyone seems to be micro blogging there own stuff. There are probably people reading various things, but nobody cares enough to respond. I think Twitter fed on drama which got people upset enough to respond. I think Mastodon is still sorting itself out. People will catch on eventually to how it all works.
