I had no idea of the size and variety of the Fediverse! It has me feeling a bit overwhelmed. I’m enjoying BookWyrm very much; it’s the GoodReads/LibraryThing replacement I’ve been looking for for years.

I love the simplicity of Paper.wf for blogging. It’s truly elegant; I just click the link and start typing. But as far as I can tell there’s no way for others to find my blog or for me to find other blogs on the site. There’s no browse or follow feature. Nor can anyone comment on my posts! Those seem to me to be HUGE omissions.

Have you used any Fediverse blogging options? What are they like? And what other Fediverse services would you recommend? Other than Mastodon, I’ve already tried that (it didn’t excite me).

    I wonder if it would be possible to set up something that 307’s to a static page when I’m not live

    Edit: another concern is that in running it from my laptop, would I have to go through port forwarding so that a DNS provider can connect with the owncast instance? Because while I’m not completely averse to it (unless someone has an opsec reason for not doing so and has a better alternative), it’s a lot of work and will absolutely have to be something I do after I move out of my current place

      I honestly have no clue. I’m not a web person. I don’t like this stuff. I’m a backend nerd. :D Bunch of these Fediverse apps I can’t even get running. Just do what I can where I can. :-)
