What Hacker News says
7 sourcesCould be a good time to mention Plume [1], a Medium clone written in Rust that uses the fediverse for displaying blog posts across different instances.
Still very much a work in progress – but one can already publish articles, comment them, and follow people using RSS or a Mastodon account (because ActivityPub rocks).
Not ready ret, but quite promising.

In Medium is a poor choice for bloggingPlume, I think, is an ActivityPub-based blog engine. I haven't looked at it yet, though.

I'm aware that Micro.blog (mentioned elsewhere) is looking at ActivityPub support of some kind soon. I think the IndieWeb movement and the federated blogging/don't-call-it-tweeting movement are close enough that they should be working toward interoperability.
In Let’s all go back to TumblrI've opened an issue here, feel free to +1:

In Plume – WIP Federated Blog Engine with ActivityPubI'm really happy to see more applications published using Rust (and Go). Without even looking, I know I'll be able to run Plume on commodity hardware.
PHP, Ruby, and Java programs seem so wasteful when it comes to memory. Especially PHP and Ruby where re-using any of the codebase for a mobile/desktop app is often close to impossible.
Consider the Plume install vs Mastodon (Ruby):
