No, the nearest you would get is something like a WordPress blog (more info about this option at https://fedi.tips/wordpress-turning-your-blog-into-a-fediverse-server).
Ghost is also developing Fediverse compatibility (more info at https://activitypub.ghost.org).
If you just want text, you could use WriteFreely (more info at https://fedi.tips/writefreely-long-form-writing-platform-for-the-fediverse).
Thank you, that's very kind of you to say so! 
It's very rewarding if these guides are useful to people!
There's not a "default" server as such, but I'm guessing you mean mastodon.social? 
There are lots of reasons why joining mastodon.social is a bad idea:

Yup, seriously, if you want help using this place just ask
I'm trying to be an unofficial help desk for this place.
Bluesky is effectively a centralised social network run by a for-profit corporation, which is funded and owned by Venture Capital investors. It would be very easy for Musk etc to buy them out, and a buyout would make the staff at Bluesky very rich. It's on a path to "enshittification".
Mastodon is part of the Fediverse and is decentralised, no one owns it and no one can buy it out. This is really, really important, here are the reasons why:

If you want more tips in general, have a look at the website at https://fedi.tips (especially the Quick Start section at the top).
Also, feel free to ask if you want help with using this place!
As far as I know, it has the same effect as just having non-tag words.
So, if people search for "trees" and your profile contains the word trees or the hashtag #trees, it will show up in their search results for profiles. (As long as you've ticked the box for your profile to show up in searches, that is.)
If you're looking for a server to join or move to, it's best to pick from a human-curated list:
- The official Mastodon site's server list is at https://joinmastodon.org/servers and its requirements for being listed are at https://joinmastodon.org/covenant
- I run an unofficial server list at https://fedi.garden and its requirements are at https://fedi.garden/about-this-site
It's a bad idea to use automated non-curated server lists as they do not have requirements, so they may contain unreliable or unsafe servers.
There's no way to link two accounts, unfortunately. Sorry!
Each server is independent, and each account is tied to one server.
When you say "merge", what do you mean by that?
Welcome Nise!
What are you using to access Mastodon? The web interface? An app?

Very happy to see it is active! 
I'll do another post about it again at some point soon, people might have missed the one last year.
Welcome Chris!
Feel free to ask if you want help with anything, and there's also lots of help on the website at https://fedi.tips
Email the admin of Universeodon on their public email address which is [email protected] (mention specifically that you are on Universeodon as they seem to run several servers).
Ask them if they can help.
By the way, in case you ever need to check it, the public email address is visible at https://universeodon.com/about
