I am looking for a fediverse solution for a blog and I tried it with writefreely, but it has some disadvantages I can’t live with.
The most important one is, that it should be possible to communicate with people within the fediverse. People should be able to comment on every article with a fediverse account, like it is already possible between Mastodon, Pleroma, PeerTube and others. But comments aren’t a thing with writefreely and this is sad.
After using Lemmy for a few days I just thought if it is possible to use it as a blog and ask on lemmys github if it is possible to restrict a group so only one person could post new articles, but all others can comment. And the answer is yes!
But would it be possible to use it as a blog?
Imagine I would have a group called “utopify.org - Research & Development” and would post current progress about a blog series and you can only comment on it. Would it be possible and would it be something you want to see on Lemmy or would this just be an abuse of the software.
If all of this is just a no-go, are there other ways in the fediverse to have a blog article, which can be shared on the fediverse and be commented on?
wow you’re posting this from frendica? do you see my comment? i know mastodon can see lemmy post but not up-to-date. Is it the same in frendica?
thanks foe the update. im curious if the federation issue is with friendica or lemmy
Kbin has microblog.
Holy Necro….since I’m here tho I think kbin is more set up with this. It has a microblog section although I haven’t really explored it.
Yes. IIRC it’s even discussed in the official docs. Basically just limit post creation on the server and allow comments.
The nice thing about open source is that in the future there might even be add-ons that better format it for blog display vs thread display.
You wouldn’t even need to host your own instance, really. You could create a community and check the option that only mods can post. But you can’t follow people on Lemmy.
What about calckey?
I think, currently I am traumatized because I was depended on other companies/people, which had the power to just destroy what I built up. If I will build up something new, it should be under my control.
I think calckey/firefish has too many features and might be overwhelming if you want to focus on stuff.
