## What it is
microblog.pub is a self-hosted, single-user microblog server that speaks the ActivityPub protocol, letting you federate with Mastodon, Pleroma, PixelFed, and other fediverse servers. It is a lightweight Python/SQLite application with a no-JavaScript HTML/CSS UI, Markdown authoring, and IndieWeb features like IndieAuth, Micropub, Webmentions, and RSS/Atom/JSON feeds.

## Use cases
- self-host a personal microblog on the fediverse
- run a single-user ActivityPub server on a small VPS
- own my social media data instead of using Mastodon
- publish notes and blog posts that federate with Mastodon
- add IndieWeb support like IndieAuth and Micropub to my personal site
- host a privacy-aware blog that strips EXIF data and proxies media
- back up my entire blog easily from one data directory

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, single-user fediverse presence on a small VPS
- you prefer a no-JavaScript, Markdown-first publishing UI
- you value IndieWeb interoperability (IndieAuth, Micropub, Webmentions, feeds)
- you want simple backups with everything in one data directory

## When to avoid
- you need multi-user or team accounts
- you want a polished, JavaScript-heavy social UI with rich media features
- you need a general-purpose ActivityPub platform like Mastodon or Pleroma
- you require extensive third-party plugins or a large ecosystem
