A lot of folks recommending Ghost/WordPress I think are not understanding that a huge part of what I'm hoping to find is an active community of readers and writers that I may contribute to - I'm not looking to build a new destination site.
When you sign up on Medium.com you're effectively given a free blog, but the real value they offer is that when you publish people who are on Medium.com who have never heard of you or your blog are recommended to read your articles. Every writer and reader on the platform is contributing to building a bigger network which makes it more valuable to everyone on it.
So two things
Activity pub is federation. So you'd be publishing to anywhere. Which as I said before, ghost is actively working on. They have a weekly mailer.
If your looking for an algorithm publishing centre, your going to find open source to be lacking. Generally speaking people who are looking for open source, don't want the algorithmic feeding that your describing.
It doesn't need to be algorithmic - like Lemmy and Mastodon and Pixelfed all let people follow, like, comment, up vote without algorithmically promoting content.
Again, ghost is actively working on this?
