So... I read a bit more about #writefreely, specifically in the forums. I didn't like the way the devs pushed their own paid service onto ppl. I can see that funding your project this important, but it just seems... sneaky and not really truthful to first say "Hey, install it, it's free!" - and when users run into problems say "Hey, just use our service, it works!"
That's not what I'm looking for.
@TQ Recently I read about a Wordpress plugin which provides federation for (self-hosted) Wordpress blogs.. here's one: https://getpterotype.com/
There's another one, which seems to do some things differently (but I'm not an expert): https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/
If Wordpress is not an option for you, this information will of course help you little 🤔
@TQ it actually started as pod service and decided to open source. But as with any open source project driven by a developer... has to feed self some how. Open source projects that don’t gather mass contributions... or have a fed developer kinda die off.
It’s a tough balance. To be fair... installing it is so easy if people are running into issues... their best option is likely to have someone else host it
