@Angle The big thing missing for me is all of the embedded media and support for long, rambling posts that tumblr provides. Like @Kaelyrhn mentions, Mastodon is really meant to be a replacement for twitter, so it makes sense that it's not really made for blogging.

In my experience, though, Mastodon has been a strange hybrid site, like if tumblr and twitter were glued together with actually good web design. It has some functions of both, and some functions of neither.
