Hi to all, I've been looking to make a blog and want to ask if there's another service with conformed instance than writefreely or plume. Thanks in advance

"conformed instance"?

Wordpress has a relatively well working ActivityPub plugin and Friendica lets you write long blog-posts as well.

System-D (really bad naming, given Systemd exists) looked quite promising, but it has been abandoned for quite a while now.

Yes I know, but works fast and flawless. There is also a community still active and apart there are several forks. It's usable. If you don't trust the online version, you can host it also in your own server. It's the best app of this type I've seen.

You got a link to an actively developed fork? I thought it was totally abandoned.

Well, as I said, the app works fine and you can selfhost it as is. It's certainly a mess that they abandoned this great app.

The chat (in Matrix) has recent contributions (in French, use a translator). It seems to be developing an improved version, Fractale 6. Apparently they keep System-D in the current state, since it has many users, so it continues to work online.

@Tucumano88 Friendica? I think it's kinda like the old LiveJournal if'n that's what you're looking for.

WordPress is always a good option. They have a freeium hosted option at wordpress.com or you can run your own. You can also always move to another provider or host it yourself.

Tumblr is also big and popular and there are tons of smaller hosts like https://bearblog.dev/.

paper.wf is a pretty cool writefreely instance, not sure how it is being funded though

Thanks to all for the suggestions
