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

30 points by leonheld 6 days ago | 24 comments

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?

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!

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

It takes a bit of curation, but I find substack's algorithm to be quite good at recommending other bloggers I'd be interested in.

It's also pretty trivial to find what writers other bloggers enjoy based on the "reads" list tab. My algorithm is:

-> Find blogger you like -> Check their substack "reads" for other writers -> Repeat

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?

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
