A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

this looks very interesting! any pointers on how to (get) use(d to) it?
Nope, I've never posted, just remember it as a huge trove with a decent vibe.
Pretty sure it is just: create account and post.
I think some people add a CC licence to their works.
This has all the starter info:

The gridbox shown at the bottom of each page, shows the nodes related to the page you are on.
WriteFreely and Plume are based on ActivityPub and can be followed from the Fediverse (in addition to RSS of course)
Do you have any opinions on or comparison of the two?
I used to prefer Plume because it's written in Rust, but, well, it seems like it isn't maintained right now, so WriteFreely is currently the better option
I don't see anyone open for no cost right now (at least not in English). Might see about self-hosting if it'll run on a raspberry pi.
There are many open WriteFreely instances: https://writefreely.org/instances
Write.as is kinda the flagship instance
Writefreely is a fantastic option. Your posts and profile integrate perfectly with the Fediverse right out of the box, it's nice to look at and really nice to use. It's also FOSS. RSS is supported by default. If you want to tinker with it you can add custom CSS and it's self-hostable. I host my own instance and it's by far the simplest & easiest federated software I've run. An absolute peach - highly recommend!
Wordpress recently started offering fediverse federation. That it exists is the sum total of what I know about it, but I can see the potential.
Something really weird and interesting is Gemini Gemlogs. Technically not WWW, but still an internet platform.
Something more normal and accessible is Hugo.
i've been into gemini and similar tech - and i really love it! did actually consider it, although i'm not sure whether it's an obstace for less tech-savvy people to reach my content?
Hugo looks promising - especially since i'm somewhat critical of huge (js heavy), dynamic websites
