@baschi29 Glad you asked -- I love Write.freely, and Coralie is also a user, so lots of opinions and experience here.

A full listing of WF nodes is here : https://fediverse.network/writefreely?count=users

This is sorted by Users, larger first. The offered conditions do vary -- so it pays to read a bi and shop around.

I do use a couple.

My tech blog is at TeDomum.net, a French instance, I like it. But they only allow one Blog. Maybe that's ok for most people, and less complicated.

If more than one Blog (say, separated by themes -- photo, poetry, travel, etc) is considered, then visiting the instance and seeing their terms is the way to find the best.

I do recommend Wordsmith.social -- they allow up to 10 blogs, per user, which is very generous.

Stay away from the largest instance on that list, write.as -- as they need to cover their company costs, and the only offered free service is very limited, a single one. And then all are added costs, monthly.

Good luck, and ask any questions if you like.

There's also Plume, which is similar to WF, but has some differences. I have an account but prefer WF, for aesthetic reasons. For a new user though, Plume offers in-instance image hosting, something that makes it easier for them if they want to use images in their pages.
