I mainly discover new blogs from links from other blogs I read or from HN.

I share my blog on HN and Bluesky and a few niche communities like Mander (when it makes sense).

Most of my traffic right now comes from chatbots citing my posts, StackExchange, or links in documentation.

My website is https://bcmullins.github.io

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 Che…

I think I'd like to try lobster.rs -- would you move sending me an invite? (Email in profile)

There's a lot of great ideas here already. The only other source I regularly use is marginalrevolution.com, although it's somewhat niche.

I've discovered (and rediscovered) several blogs through MR over the years. I'm not a fan though of the recent trend of linking to X threads and essays.

While I much prefer blogs to exist outside of walled garden-type websites, I've begrudgingly come to terms with Substack.

Some time ago @revskill posted a request for peoples blogs here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36575081

The responses were aggregated and posted to Github here: https://github.com/outcoldman/hackernews-personal-blogs?tab=...

You can download the OPML file and load it up into your RSS feed. I did start visiting the various blogs to find some i'd enjoy reading, but there are so many!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What's your blog?

As you're aware, HN users have an editable about section in their profile. eg: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=bobbiechen announces https://bobbiechen.com/blog

Thanks! I also write a topic-based blog on APIs, platforms, and more at https://digitalseams.com/

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

Sure. It's in my profile but I can attach it here:
