Looking for a blogging platform with community features—any recommendations?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been blogging casually for a while now, mostly using WordPress and Medium. They’re great, but lately I’ve been looking for something a bit more interactive—something that allows me not only to publish blogs but also engage with readers and other writers more directly.

I recently came across a platform called Postinnest. It lets you post articles, ask and answer questions, and explore content across multiple categories like tech, lifestyle, business, and health. The layout feels clean, and it’s completely free to use. It kind of blends blogging with a forum-style experience.

Has anyone here used it before or something similar? I’m curious to know if it’s helped anyone grow their readership or improve content engagement.

Would love to hear your suggestions and experiences with other platforms too!

Postinest actually sounds pretty cool. Haven’t tried it myself but the idea of combining blogging with a more community-style setup makes a lot of sense. I’ve used WordPress too and totally get what you mean about it feeling a bit one-way after a while.

You could maybe check out Ghost or Substack if you haven’t already. They’re not super community-focused but they do give some room for reader interaction and email engagement. Still on the lookout myself for something more interactive so would love to hear what others suggest too.
