I'm on Mastadon quite a bit
Using Mastodon to blog never thought of that, how is it working out for you?
I've made a few friends here and there
Substack is a popular choice
After getting sick of Wordpress.com, I now self-host mine. I use Nikola, a static site generator that makes things pretty lightweight and easy.
Can I ask how you share it to people? Is it something that you share with people around you, or is it something that you share publicly, in which case, how?
I’ll usually link new posts on Mastodon, and besides that I’ll send links to individual people who I think might be interested.
It’s not something I try to promote widely – more to share my own thoughts with people I know.
I often see self-hosted blogs and blogs on Github Pages.
Medium and Substack seem to be the two big "central" sites, but also lots of people don't want a central site so they do self hosted ones. I use a Ghost based site and it's pretty great IMO.
I think of those both as more career oriented essay type places, but my assumption is just that
No idea
