While much of the fediverse has historically focused on microblogging, we've built an open source, federated blogging platform called WriteFreely that enables publishing long-form content to the social web.

In this talk, I'll show how WriteFreely works, and discuss how we integrated ActivityPub into our existing software (written in Go) to give writers a new way to socialize on the open web. I'll share lessons learned from this process, and discuss some ideas for supporting new content forms (like long-form Articles) into the wider fediverse.
