Ask HN: Where are people sharing their blogs these days?

#1
I really like blogs, and I've started blogging again like this past week. I want to share what I write but get some nice reading lists going to.

Today I basically use HN as my blog curator, but I yearn for more.

Where do you find a blogging community nowadays? How to discover new blogs and how to share your content?

For finding blogs I either pick them up organically here or on lobste.rs.

The more niche your blog is, the more chances you'll have at sharing it on highly specialized subreddits - otherwise you can always drop links to your blog in HN conversation threads if it feels relevant. That's how I developed a bit of readership on mine.

And in the interest of sharing blogs, a classic is "Old New Thing" written by Raymond Chen. It's highly technical around Microsoft/Windows but I enjoy how incredibly thorough it is.

People share their blogs here occasionally. Both technical and personal blogs.

Also, your social media algorithm might have adjusted to feed you blog related content.

Having said that, here's my own personal blog - https://www.rxjourney.net/

If you're feeling extra generous, you can leave a donation.

What's your blog, I want to see it.

Besides Hacker News, I mainly discover new blogs via links from blogs I already read. As for sharing my own blog, it's mainly here for me as well, or in open comments sections where that's encouraged. So... I'd also love suggestions on other ways!

What's your blog?
