Hi,

I am looking for a good and lightweight blogging solution.

I imagine I can just go with a static site generator like jekyll but I’d like something else… it would be a plus if it can federate :)

Any ideas?

Thanks !

EDIT: I forgot to say that obviously wordpress does not enters in the “lightweight” category ;)

    Federation doesn’t inherently require large amounts of memory. Fundamentally, it’s a matter of selecting a list of unique servers (likely tens, maybe hundreds) from a larger set of followers (likely hundreds, maybe thousands) and sending an HTTP request to each when there’s a new post. There’s a speed/size tradeoff for how many to send in parallel, but it’s not a resource-intensive operation.

    Growth beyond a few tens of megabytes was a bug in Writefreely, which is a likely-suitable option several comments here recommended.
