If old enough(!), you may recall geocities. Neocities is very easy. Learn some html, css and you are good to go, just like the early days of the web.

Rss reader is used because of opml import (e.g. newsbeauter in computer) https://android-apk.org/com.madsvyat.simplerssreader/31547849-rss-reader/

Please use an alternative to github, seems a contradiction to the ethos of lemmy. Would prefer to use mercurial. Easier to understand for authors!

Fortunately, activitypub makes the job easier. Post good content to the fediverse, eventually it will be found! Also, yes to RSS!!! :)
