Multi-blog set up - what are your suggestions? (lemmy.world)

I want to run a Wordpress site, where users can sign up and publish their own blog/journals. Its for a niche hobby, where each user can sign up, and start sharing their experiences and updates they do with their hobby.

My initial plan is to have a main front page feed with updates from all uses, but also a page for each user to group their posts. Also options to follow each user and intergration to ActivityPub.

How would you suggest I did this? Do I need any plug in, or would a vanilla installation work fine for it?

You can use the builtin WordPress multisite functionality for this: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/wordpress-glossary/#multisite

This is basically what WordPress.com used in the beginning, and is pretty much exactly what @OP is describing

I had a look at it but it seems like i manually need to create a blog for the users who want one right?

I was looking for an automated process where users could simply sign up and start blogging. Even share the same categories but maybe desperate media library

Maybe i am just looking at letting users just be authors?

Would they have their own page with own posts?

@cosmicrookie @jqubed this can be achieve but there are few ways to troubleshoot it
