i’m looking for a place/means/medium for texts that i write. content is essays on topics that i find worthy writing about with hints towars philosophy (i guess).
twenty years ago the right answer to my question would have been a (we-)blog - what’s the current day equivalent for such a venture?
optimally, a solution would neither be based on lock-ins, data collection/aggregation or other shady business and would be freely (e.g. in a web browser, no login/registration required) and easily accessible.
Still a blog. Host your own Wordpress or Ghost blog. Substack and others are evil.
but how do i gain reach? should i just advertise on lemmy/fediverse and hope to get traction?
with good posts?
for sure. but content usually does not advertise itself, so…?
I think people don’t normally mind if you post your own blogposts on a platform like Lemmy as long as you don’t spam it and the content is actually relevant
I suppose promote it everywhere you can? I don’t have experience with that. Probably Threads, the Shitter-site, FB, etc, if you have accounts. Anything where people can link something they liked.
