Hi! I’m looking to publish a blog that can be discovered through interactions on the fediverse, and potentially displays replies as comments. I had set up WriteFreely and, though it is missing the replies feature, it seemed pretty well-made. However, when I tried to publish my post, pressing “Move to [blog name]” made it disappear. It’s still in the stats page but clicking on it shows “This page is missing.” It seems really buggy, hasn’t had a release in almost a year, and my post would be lost if I hadn’t made a backup. Are there any other good options for publishing a blog?
OK that makes sense. I have been using Mastodon for about a few weeks and one thing I have noticed is that most of the posts seem to have almost no comments or any other interaction. I have not yet been able to work out why. Mastodon has way more users than lemmy and also way more content. Then why so less interaction. Is it too many users? Too few users? Completely different platform? I have never used Twitter so can’t even compare with that.
Everyone seems to be micro blogging there own stuff. There are probably people reading various things, but nobody cares enough to respond. I think Twitter fed on drama which got people upset enough to respond. I think Mastodon is still sorting itself out. People will catch on eventually to how it all works.
