The Fediverse Report publishes news about federated social networks and related services.
Plume
Plume supports federated blogging, and its developers report limited time for ongoing maintenance.
About Plume
Plume is a federated blogging application made up of independent instances. A person writes from one instance, and readers on other Plume instances can read the posts. It allows exchange between writers and readers, collaboration by multiple authors on the same blog, and comments, shares and likes from other federated applications such as Mastodon, Pleroma and WriteFreely.
The developers state that Plume is not actively maintained due to limited time, and new features may take time to be implemented. They point to similar-purpose options such as WriteFreely and WordPress with the ActivityPub plugin.
