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, you can definitely use PieFed as a blog — and honestly, there are many other creative ways to use it too.

I actually used Lemmy as a blog alternative in the past, and that hasn’t changed now that I’ve moved to PieFed .
Also, as mentioned, I’ve seen people build custom frontends for Lemmy to make it look more like a blog.
