I’m looking for a way to sort of blog on Lemmy. On Reddit I could do it by posting to my own profile (note: not editing my own profile, rather literally creating a post and assigning it to my profile). I doubt anyone ever read them, but they were just stuff about what I was doing that didn’t really belong in any particular subreddit.
For example, I want to write about my take on the different Fediverse iterations I’ve set up, on what works and what doesn’t. I could post that to a Technology community, I suppose, but I don’t think it really belongs there. This is more of a status report on my thoughts than anything else.
I’ve heard that kbin allows microblogging, but kbin is INCREDIBLY laggy so far. I’m more comfortable here. So…is it possible?
I think the best solution is to make your own community and disallow non-mods to post there. Then you could make posts to your heart’s content. I know beehaw doesn’t allow users to make comms, but you could ask them to make it on your behalf. If they say no, gimme a shout and I’ll set one up on sh.itjust.works, mod you and unmod myself.
Not an admin but longtime user and moderator here. I think it’s pretty unlikely that we would create communities for individual users to blog in, that would intro a lot of clutter. That said @[email protected], we would be happy to have your posts in Technology or maybe Chat if you felt they were a little more rambly, but if you want to try something on another instance or maybe Mastodon, that’s good too.
