I’ve been exploring and comparison-shopping fediverse server projects recently. I’d like to do some tech blogging for some personal software/hosting projects. The Fediverse feels like a natural fit for tech blogging, considering how relatively tech-savvy the userbase is.

Strangely, though, I’ve noticed that there isn’t much of a presence for macro blogging among all these server projects. Some platforms support relatively feature-rich markup languages, and post size limit is apparently configurable on the instance level for a lot of them, but none of the platforms I’ve looked at have a UI designed with macro blogging in mind.

Does anyone know of any server projects, either in development or with active running servers, that are designed to support macro blogging?

I’ve got a list of some of the basic features I’m looking for:

  • Draft posts
  • List view of posts
  • Sorting and filtering posts at the user level
  • An editing UI that isn’t a 150px by 200px rectangle in the center of the screen
  • Decent NSFW content filtering
  • Threaded replies/comments
  • Federation (obviously)
