I made a minimal website using Hugo just for writing blogs so I don't have to post them in groups as posts. Hope it's fine here. This is not a promotion. No tracking links either.

Hello, not sure you are aware, but you can write blogs articles on Plume to be on ActivityPub directly.

I heard about Writefreely, but Plum is new for me. Also, I checked out that website and saw this.

Project status

Currently, Plume developers have less time, and Plume is not actively maintained. New features may take time to be implemented. Could you consider similar-purpose software? WriteFreely, WordPress with the ActivityPub plugin, and so on?

Anyway, I will check it out and try to write on those platforms if possible.

Sad to hear development is staled. I used to write articles on Plume several years ago and it worked just fine (not sure about Lemmy federation though). WriteFreely was very similar, though it does not support comments IIRC.

[–] Crumpled6273@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

It's been about 6 months after deleting WhatsApp, and there are no issues at all. only peace of mind.

I managed to get rid of what's app, But my damned HOA is using groups because it's easy to keep people out.

[–] myszka@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

It's probably similar in Poland. Never had a friend who used WhatsApp.
