I’ve heard of plume and writefreely/write.as but never used them. A friend is also asking for blogging platforms that are easy to use - they’re non techy.

I love writefreely. Its a very nice minimalist easy to use platform. Just wrote and publish.

It's nice that they support ActivityPub https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely

how’s the text formatting and media attachment? Any limitations or tips for newcomers?

Text formatting is done through Markdown (you can also use HTML is markdown is not enough for something specific) it doesn't handle images by default, but you can embedded images.
