You can just set up an account on an instance with a different fediverse platform to have different feature sets - I'll quote one of my older posts here about what other options there are.
When I was looking at starting using the fediverse, I spent a week going through the explore feature of all the main instances of the available platforms and went with the one that matched what I was looking for most.
I'm on a Sharkey instance, a platform which has media features suitable for fixed long-form/ blog type posts - so basically substack or wordpress - without the attenuated problems of either. Here's one of my static long form "pages":

Sharkey is very user friendly with a tutorial available the first time you use a new account. It has a generous (3k) character count for posts like this, and can quote other posts like I have here.
I can get to media I've used as it's stored in a dedicated image library for my account, called "Drive" in the UI. I can upload or pull media from an url and store it in the Drive, and from the Drive check which other posts have used the image or just add it to posts, manage/edit the ALT data
