Any blogging services that feel like pre-monetization Medium?

I am looking for a social blogging platform that works like Medium used to. I used to write articles for fun which would be algorithmically circulated and sometimes get over 100k reads. I don’t have a following but enjoy writing, and it was really cool to see my posts be enjoyed by other people. I also enjoyed reading a feed of articles from other people, it was like a more serious old Tumblr.

However, Medium is now about selling your work. This isn’t a problem, it’s just not for me. Is there any good social blogging platform in existence?
