I don't think it works that way.
If you want a platform with ActivityPub integration (i.e. it's part of the Fediverse), then there are several options:
There's also WordPress, which has a free hosted tier, and can alternatively be set up on your own server. There is an ActivityPub plugin for WordPress, which can be used freely on your own server, or with the paid business plan on wordpress.com.
Another possibility would be to use a Mastodon instance that doesn't limit your character count to 500, such as Aethy (which IIRC has a limit of 1M characters per post).
If I were to start a blog again (and I have considered it), then I would probably use WriteFreely, or alternatively Aethy.
It does not. But it has been flagged, so hopefully it will be fixed at some point in the future.
As far as I'm aware there's no timeline view of all people you follow.
Yes, that would be a good thing to have.
I know, and I do appreciate that. I mostly speak out of frustration that our moderation tools are very rudimentary. We simply don't have all the tools we need to do proper content curation.
Kbin has burst onto the scene of the fediverse, and is now a serious player. I think it risks defederation if this issue isn't fixed. It is an attack vector for people with nefarious goals.
I don't understand how developers think this is okay. This needs to be fixed with priority!
Yeah, lots of 50x errors all around again.
That's not what was asked for.
