Hey Lemmy - I'm trying to migrate my life as much as possible into open source tech and platforms. Fediverse networks like Mastodon and Pixelfed have provided good enough alternatives to their counterparts in Twitter and Instagram.

Is there such an equivalent for bloggers? I'm hoping to find a platform which is open source and supports self hosting but one that also provides a first-party instance that folks like me can make an account on and start publishing.

Effectively I'm looking for something that would provide a user experience similar to Medium or Substack but which wouldn't lock me or the community into it. Something based on ActivityPub would be ideal.

There's writefreely, which might be what you're looking for: https://writefreely.org/

There's also Plume.

This is actually the closest to what I'm looking for. It is a bit more basic and stripped down than I'd like which is why I was asking for other options out there but it does offer the most basic functionality I'm asking for. Seems like there isn't really support for images so that's tough.
