## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: http-server, web-framework, cli, documentation
- domain: web-development, self-hosted, cms
- platform: self-hosted, rust
