Classic Blog Posts

!classicblogposts@lemmy.fmhy.ml

It seems hard to find classic style blogs for one off post reading or to subscribe to outside of social media so I thought I would try to set up a community for just that. The goal would be to create a community for quality blog posts of any genre that you find interesting (sharing your own is also highly encouraged), and being a community it can be subscribed to within Lemmy or within the community RSS feed to provide a selection of reading material.

I don’t have a ton of experience writing rules and stuff, but I’d just ask that you avoid blog posts are solely partisan politics, blogs nearly unusable due to ads and such, corporate blogs, and posting things other than blog posts (e.g. news articles). Also, should go without saying, please don’t break FMHY’s rules or your own instance’s rules, and please be nice.

    Brilliant idea! :) I’ve just requested to subscribe, as I adore old style blogs, and on top of that, would like to share mine eventually :)

      Cool! When you say you requested to subscribe, does that mean the server needs to federate or does that mean I accidentally set it up in a way that subscribers need to be approved? If it’s the latter I definitely need to change that

        I’m not sure! It says I’m joined now if it helps, so it could be that the wheels were still turning :)
