Pretty much any static page created with Hugo will work. There are some really nice blogging themes/templates for it. RSS is included, but for comments you will need some external software.

I like using a static site generator. You can host it for free on places like github, gitlab or if you are conscious about privacy, codeberg. But this is because I am more into tinkering with static site generators rather than writing.

You could use a static page (I recommend Zola instead of Hugo), or you could simply use Write.as. Both are great options!

Thanks for all your help, I’ve settled on Mataroa

(Self hosted) Wordpress is a classic choice. There is even an ActivityPub plugin.

Some alternatives to writefreely:

• Bear Blog
• Mataora
• rwtxt
• Diary.by ^(new)

Write.as
