Seriously how damn hard is it for an IT enthusiast to host their own blog.

[–] ComradeRachel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Many do but it’s a nightmare for SEO. When people use Substack or Medium it’s because they have built in social network that allows strangers to easily find your blog. Sadly independent blogs don’t really make money unless you are already famous with a network to follow you.

It would be cool to make some kind of open source components you add to a blog to suggest other blogs you might be interested in. If you use it on your site you would show up on other peoples blogs. There could be tags or something to keep the content relevant.

I wonder if anything like that exists. Probably too easy to abuse

Sounds like web rings in the late 90s

I've seen webrings being used in some still active blogs, I just don't remember which ones

This is what Bluesky does but we should take that idea and do that ourselves as well for not just a Substack decentralized alternative but also for Amazon, and Facebook decentralized alternatives as well
