Individual blogging as a possible feature for Lemmy?

Would Lemmy be a good fit for adding individual "blogging" as a feature? What I mean is the ability for a user to create posts tied to their account instead of a specific community. The default Lemmy Frontend/webapp has all the basic features that would normally make up a blog: ability to make posts, markdown editor, hell even replies that you normally need to disable on blogs because of spam. I can imagine adding a section next to the "Communities" button that says "Blogs" where you could browse users blogs. Not sure if you'd want to federate the blogs but something I'm thinking about.

Not asking this as a feature request on the part of the developers. This should be something I implement myself. But I thought I'd throw the idea out in the wild and see if folks could either tell me "why not" or point out what might be problematic with this.
