@cholling If you want to attach images you should take #GoToSocial because #WriteFreely has no image space – u have to host your images somewhere else.

@cholling I can't offer any great insight into Writefreely, sorry.

GoToSocial can be setup quickly and is simple, efficient, and configurable.  It does not come with a client so you need to chose one of the many web apps or native apps that support it: https://thefedi.wiki/gotosocial/user/client-apps

GtS is a full fediverse server.  Like all of them, it can be storage space greedy.

I had a quick look over WriteFreely.  It seems to be a simple blogging-style platform.  You publish to your own website.  You need other tools to publish it onto the fediverse -- it mentions using the write.as app!  I'm confused as to why you need both.

What about just running a blog?  And you can then publish the links on a fediverse account.  Lot's of people frown on long-form writing directly in a post.  Far better to post a teaser then a link to the blog post.  Also, a blog is yours forever.  Fediverse (aka social media) posts soon get lost in a timeline.

Have a look at #PureBlog: https://pureblog.org    I started using it for my short-fiction writing project.  I was up and running in moments.
