Recommendations for Shared Publishing Platform

I'm looking for open source software that allows users to post articles and comment. A shared publishing/discussion platform. Preferably with good moderation tools.

It could be similar to dev.to (which is unfortunately not yet ready for others to install)

What about running your own Mastodon instance?

It has the advantage that you can leverage the existing Mastodon audience which tends to lean technical.

Thanks, interesting thought, but I'm looking for something that's more of a shared blog/publication. Where people can write more than they typically would on a micro blogging platform like Mastodon.

I've considered writefreely.org, but it does not have comments or user profiles. Ghost CMS is a bit frustrating because it requires a lot of third-party add-ons until you have a fully functioning site.
