A comment on Ask HN: I'm building a Medium alternative. Would you pay to host your blog here?.

Lots of paid blog hosting services around, so clearly some people do pay for that. (And FWIW while I'm not in the target market, a service like this is something I'd recommend over Medium). You frame it as a "Medium alternative" - what makes it that compared to other blogging services?

Most blogging services let you build and host a blog for a monthly fee.

But they don't include the community aspect. I want to preserve the audience that Medium provides writers out of the box, meaning writers on Imprint get both a reliable place to host, but also a good place to find readers.
