PieFed as a blog ? (jlai.lu)

Hi,

Lemmy can also function as a blogging platform. Doing this is as simple as creating a community and enabling the option “Only moderators can post to this community”. Now only you and other people that you invite can create posts, while everyone else can comment. Like any Lemmy community, it is also possible to follow from other Fediverse platforms and over RSS. For advanced usage, it is even possible to use the API and create a different frontend which looks more blog-like.

Does this apply to PieFed as well ?

Thanks

Yes it applies to PieFed as well.

Also PieFed federates with Mastodon a little better, so if someone on there follows you (your blogging profile, not your blogging community) the posts look more natural.

Compare https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@rimu@piefed.social with https://mastodon.social/@return2ozma@lemmy.world and you'll see what I mean.
