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).

    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.
