I’ve been exploring and comparison-shopping fediverse server projects recently. I’d like to do some tech blogging for some personal software/hosting projects. The Fediverse feels like a natural fit for tech blogging, considering how relatively tech-savvy the userbase is.
Strangely, though, I’ve noticed that there isn’t much of a presence for macro blogging among all these server projects. Some platforms support relatively feature-rich markup languages, and post size limit is apparently configurable on the instance level for a lot of them, but none of the platforms I’ve looked at have a UI designed with macro blogging in mind.
Does anyone know of any server projects, either in development or with active running servers, that are designed to support macro blogging?
I’ve got a list of some of the basic features I’m looking for:
- Draft posts
- List view of posts
- Sorting and filtering posts at the user level
- An editing UI that isn’t a 150px by 200px rectangle in the center of the screen
- Content previews
- Decent NSFW content filtering
- Threaded replies/comments
- Federation (obviously)
You might also want to add in the Friends plugin. It allows you to follow Fediverse accounts from your WordPress blog once you have the ActivityPub plugin installed.
