Is this a frowned upon practice or something that doesn’t matter?
I doubt anyone would care if you did that, but it does sound like you’d get more use out of joining https://kbin.social/. They are part of the federated universe and have a dedicated microblog section.
i was thinking the same. I also saw paper.wf talked about as a real blog, but i think its pretty limited at the moment
Interesting idea. I feel like in principle it shouldn’t matter, but maybe people who like to review “local” instance traffic wouldn’t want to see blogs. I don’t know.
I do know a nice in-between solution would be hosting your own Lemmy instance if you have a penchant for technology.
Overall I think it makes sense to do it!
You can do it, I don’t think most admins would find issue with that.
But I believe Mastodon would work better as a blog.
Yeah I agree with the Mastodon suggestion. Lemmy would work but Mastodon probably makes more sense.
More content is probly good content right now. Ive been going around treating comments like my own personal journal Makin a fool out of myself lol. Id probly sub to this. F it.
How bout like a “life story in under xx amount of words” community? I’d dig that too.
i say go for it
im noone but i think it sounds cool. more people doin more shit here is prolly a good thing
there’s people saying that you should try kbin. i dunno, i mean, check it out and see if that’s what you want. personally i’m not sure and think you might actually like doing it in a community in one of these instances instead.
the layout at kbin is more compact horozontally. the layout here has what would be single entries flanked by their own little comment section, arranged relatively neatly and easy to navigate. with a kbin UI i’d feel a bit annoyed about having to scroll 3/4th of a screen just to get to the next entry. i wouldn’t like it, but then again i’m old and am due to start yelling at kids who are at the other end of the street in their own yards to get off my lawn soon, so you can laugh and dismiss my thoughts however you want.
i’m just putting in a vote for doing your blog here. considering you’ll control what is allowed in the community it shouldn’t be too difficult
You might like kbin better. It’s like a hybrid of Lemmy and Mastodon.
