Self-hosted alternatives to Micro.blog
Micro.blog is a blog hosting service for short posts, essays, photos and newsletters at the author's own domain, combined with a social timeline and community. One listed app does its main job and runs in your own Cloudflare account.
Each answer comes from the app’s README and source code, compared with the features Micro.blog describes on its own site.
