A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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).

If you're putting your content up on Youtube right now, then Peertube can just mirror that content without much work. At least that's my understanding. I'm not a Youtuber. diode.zone is one I've used in the past which doesn't really have any kind of gatekeeping.

However, I personally enjoy TILVids the most. They're curated. You ahve to talk to the TILVids admin to get access and he kind of is there to help folks get started and if you take off then he suggests you create your own. That happens with few. TechLore for instance just did this. But he does have a focus on videos that help folks learn things, but even GamingOnLinux mirrors there.

To be fair (and I might've said this here on Beehaw/Lemmy although my memory isn't serving me well atm), I have said that I do want to get into self-hosting stuff sometime in the future but I don't currently have the resources to do so. Currently just seeing what self-hosted stuff there is right now for when I am able to get something set up. Also I would be open to starting my own instance as a large channel anyway. I've also thought about a single-user Lemmy instance that federates and is sort of a forum/discussion space for my content.

Totally understand. Everyone has different priorities, responsibilities, etc. It'll always be here for you when you're ready and/or interested. ;-)
