I've not used it, but supposedly there's a plugin that allows Wordpress to generate over ActivityPub (which Mastodon uses).

I have that for my personal blog and it works nicely!
Its the part of opening up the door for external users to start posting on it too that seems tricky. But it may be the best option to use wordpress and somehow automatically let them post there
A single wordpress blog comes premade with multiple user/author support with granular permission supprted out of the box.
Do you know if they can sign up as authors instead of me having to change their permission manually?
Wordpress should work fine for just ftp and database access only. It all depends on what's running serverside, and if you can install stuff. I know some php-modules are absolutely necessary. I've ran WordPress on a multitude of companies, hardware and software. It isn't hard to get it running if you know your way around a webserver
Do you know if i can let people sign up as authors instead of me having to upgrade them to it?
I had a Wordpress blog set up like that once, and it should still be possible. Although you might get a lot of spammers that way. I did this 15-20 years ago, on Wordpress 2.0. Edit: just checked on my test install, it still works.
Thanks! There must be some plugin that filters most spam users out. Ill have a closer look at it again. Thanks!
Why not run Lemmy?
Possibly a stupid question, but is changing host an option? You should be able to run what you need from a VPS at one of the established providers. Personally I use Hetzner and I like them, but there's a bunch of providers available.
Id like to stick with the ones i have partly because they are small but personal. Also i have a few domains with them and they share the space among domains. So the ones i only have for email contribute to the space available for the domains that need more space
Not sure if this fits your exact need, but I've been running my blog on Grav CMS. It's really easy to setup as it uses flat file to store your content instead of database. You could just download a tarball, extract it, point your HTTP server (and php-fpm) to it, and see it on your web browser. If you know your PHP, you could even customize a theme.
Anyways, feel free to check out my blog: timkenhan.co
