I recently started making newsletters for friends as i have deleted all social media (bar this) and i find it super fun and a refreshing way to keep in contact (we send them back to each other). I try and create a new theme every month to pass onto them. And this month, i made a small static site with a few jokey articles on it.

At the end of it, it made me quite nostalic for what we used to have (i had an awful blog in high school, before social media took ahold).

Anyway, after reflecting on it. It made me want to find a few more blogs to read because i loved the format of it and it made me wonder, do you guys have a blog? what do you write about?

Do you want one? what WOULD you write about?

    Yep, I have one for keeping friends and family updated on my travels without relying on FB/Insta/whatever. If interested, they can subscribe to my RSS feed. If not, I do it for myself and Sarvesh, a random (alleged) Indian man who thinks I am very beautiful and wants to marry me.

    I think a few people have created their own locked (meaning only mods can post) Lemmy communities to use as their own personal blog. It’s worth noting that every Lemmy community has an RSS feed link.

    I have an art blog on Tumblr, but might create a side blog where I post photos of my travels while talking about the places I’ve been to! 😃

    I do, about my self hosting shenanigans. But I haven’t made a post to it in over a year, and either way I don’t tie it into any of my other social platforms, preferring to stay as anonymous as possible.

      perfectly understandable, being tied to my identity is partially what would be putting me off starting one now. I like to be honest with it but I’m not wanting to hand all that info out at the same time

    I have a blog! Usually, it’s photos from traveling or “how I made this” or “how I do this” kinds of posts. Basically, if I get tired of people asking me about something, I turn it into a blog post 😂

    Probably the most interesting thing from it is the long-ass series of posts describing how I made my music album:

    I used to maintain my own website through Neocities, but I had to stop because it was too stressful for me. I ran out of ideas to write about, I lacked confidence in my ability to program the website and I never got any feedback from any of the users who visited it.

    My website kind of went through two phases while I was maintaining it. The first phase focused on reviewing and comparing various applications for both Windows and Android. After I took a break for a few months, the second phase of my website was branched out to include Linux and I wanted to focus more on gaming related topics.

    I still kind of do some of this stuff for my own personal use but I don’t post any of it online anymore. I have thought about either using Neocities again or using Odysee’s article feature to start posting some of this stuff online again but I’m not really sure if anyone would find it useful/interesting.
