While the Lemmy micro blog idea sounds genius, I just wanted to echo my appreciation for write freely.
It's great for blogging especially if you're a writer. For the short time I used it, only felt like a Fediverse versions of Ghost CMS. At the time it had a bit less formatting features but nothing you couldn't work around with photos.
It'd make a great blog endpoint as a supplement for a traditional website.
Oh for sure. Using lemmy is definitely a quick and dirty option that happens to illustrate the power that the reddit platform structure can have.
Interestingly, I suspect it wouldn't be too much work to expand on the features already in lemmy to turn it into a true blogging platform. Presuming that its promise of being lean in terms of required resources (written in rust and all of that), it might have something going for it.
