Plume is a federated blogging engine built on ActivityPub, written in Rust with the Rocket framework and Diesel ORM. It lets users self-host blogs that interoperate with the Fediverse, with multi-blog accounts, media management, and planned collaborative writing.

Use cases

  • self-host a federated blog on the fediverse
  • publish articles that federate via ActivityPub
  • run a community blogging instance
  • host a podcast with audio uploads and blog posts
  • write under multiple blogs from one account
  • join the fediverse with a writing-focused platform

When to choose

  • you want a decentralized, ActivityPub-compatible blogging engine
  • you prefer self-hosting with Docker, YunoHost, or from source
  • you want a Rust-based alternative to WordPress or WriteFreely
  • you want readers on other instances to follow and comment on your posts

When to avoid

  • you need actively developed software with frequent new features
  • you need mature collaborative multi-author writing today
  • you want a turnkey hosted blog without managing an instance
  • you need a plugin ecosystem comparable to WordPress
