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

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!

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.

Try to submit your articles to email newsletters within your topic. Example: https://iosdevweekly.com/

I use Mastodon as a microblog and link long form content to my actual blog.

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 me, Reddit and HN

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

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 recently found: The highest-ranking personal blogs of Hacker News

HN.

Mostly a few static articles, my machines (openbsd), mastodon feed, but.. it's blog-like! :-)

From blogroll sites, webrings and blogroll pages of other bloggers. When you get into small web, indie web world you will discover lots of nice blogs. If you do not mind checking mine, you can discover a lot via my webrings and cool links pages actually.

This is a community of ascetic bloggers and web builders that can be seen as sites from the 90s, there is access to HTTP (it was very important for me because I would like the site to open from absolutely any piece of iron, given its direction and subject). I am writing about the old Internet, the formation of the Internet, and what is happening at this time in small web.

Perhaps you will be interested in this course as a direction, this is not neosities, it is more minimalistic and rough (but only in a verd look)

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
