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

Have you done anything special

Nope

If you want to push forward with using Lemmy I can try to help you troubleshoot.

Honestly, given everything you said, I don't think so. The documentation on "Lemmy as a blog" is just too incomplete.

Thank you though, for your answers !
