i use very marginal software called socialhome to connect to both my activity pub contacts and diaspora protocol contacts.
diaspora is very cool too, and underappreciated.
also there's xmpp publishing/microblogging. alas usually clients don't support it.
imagine, i have installed my diaspora pod in 2012. we were having so much fun with it.

So Pleroma was a bit overkill. I actually designed a website, integrated WriteFreely, which gives me an ActivityPub presence and federates my blog posts. Way easier than implementing Pleroma into an actual website.
Pleroma is cool. Think it serves a different purpose to Mastodon. Lighter I think. Smaller and easier to self-host from what I've seen.
if you need a blog, though i prefer go in writefreely, just wordpress, that i dislike because of php, has an activity pub plugin and a pretty good one. it also shows comments that people leave under the post.

Starting fooling with Pleroma. It's interesting, and I am not sure yet on how to integrate it into my new found small web life, but the whole fediverse connectivity is fascinating! ActivityPub is a very cool tool!
