Does WriteFreely support replies, boosts and likes to the posts?

@ring2 That's sad. Is it in the roadmap or it isn't going to be added?

@Waseem @Erik H. (ring2) WriteFreely is not formatted, long-form Mastodon. And it doesn't want to be formatted, long-form Mastodon. It's Medium in the Fediverse.

Replies are on the roadmap, only that they aren't called "replies" but "comments". WriteFreely will support the same one-post-many-comments conversation scheme that WordPress (in the Fediverse), all other blogging platforms out there, Facebook, Friendica (in the Fediverse), Hubzilla (in the Fediverse), the streams repository (in the Fediverse) and the whole Threadiverse already use now, but Mastodon doesn't.

I'm not sure about whether likes are planned.

Boosts don't make much sense on a purist blogging platform. In fact, they make even less sense on WriteFreely because WriteFreely users can't follow anyone or anything anyway.

If you're looking for "Mastodon, but with over 500 characters and text formatting", try Akkoma or Misskey or any one of Misskey's forks (Firefish, Iceshrimp, Sharkey, Catodon etc. etc.).

If you need five-digit character counts, and you're willing to put up with conversations and other things working radically differently from Mastodon, try Friendica or Hubzilla or (streams).
