What is Plume?
Plume is not a single website, but an entire interconnected, yet independent network of what we call instances. You write content from your own instance, but anyone else on any other Plume instance can enjoy your stories too.
When we write, it is, most of the time, to share something with other people. Plume has many features that allow the exchange between writers and readers to be bi-directional from the get-go.
Plume also makes it easy to collaborate on an article. Since blogs are not limited to one author, many people can write in the same blog, improve each other's work, to get to the best final result.

Comments and Reviews
Brilliant publishing/blogging connected to the Fediverse via ActivityPub.
Multiple ways to Plume up and running including Snap install, Docker, app in YunoHost or compile from source.
Attractive, clean layout of articles. Ability to create multiple blogs.
Note as of 22 March 2021 Pume is in Alpha and has been running OK on my server for several months.
Verbose introduction with little guidance. Let me know where I went wrong if you know a better way. You will see source code option on the site. You click "Go to File" link and it takes you back to the source code page. You go back to home page, scroll down and try the Instance selection. Fediverse is in huge font and half in foreign text. Lorem club is a broken link. You google Plume and see a more popular wifi app called HomePass. You google "Plume blogging" and your best new choice is Archive.org. You can download a zip file from the 4 original file link. . 2 xml files, 1 jpg, and an sqlite. I think it's the original page build. You see Plume Creator on Source Forge but it seems to be a different program.
The software is unmaintained but there are plenty of instances where you still can use it and you could even host yourself
Plume is currently not being maintained per the official website
quite useful one
