Now Ghost even has a micro blogging function (but I admit it's still barebone and a bit limited, but it connects to the Fediverse).

Honestly, it's not too much work at all. I have a solo instance on Mastodon. It costs me 6.60€ a month and absolutely zero work. And same with Ghost, it's just a bit more expensive (but I never made so much money online than since I started this blog on Ghost) and...

Yes, but... it's not your blog. It's Bluesky's blog, and they let you use a small part of it.
