Google's Core Updates have hit me! I am overwhelmed! I have been using Flipboard, but my website traffic is still inconsistent.
Why Would I even care about "Being On The Fediverse?" Managing my Flipboard Account is already way too much for me.
The Fediverse and Flipboard complement each other in curating, consuming, and sharing content: Translation = more visibility.

Flipboard Users Publication · Why Creators Need Flipboard and The Fediverse in 2025!By Janette Speyer

I’ve been reading and curation on #Flipboard for over 12 years. I plan my trips, menus, and DIY. I read news, sports, business news or anything really. I can’t imagine a world without it. I recommend downloading it to support #journalists, #publishers and #bloggers. Now that it’s part of the #Fediverse, all the more reason about.flipboard.com/download-f

Calling all long-time #bloggers

You find a broken link on one of your decade old posts.
It isn't in The Internet Archive.
There isn't a similar page available.
You can't find anything similar from around the same time.

What do *you* do with the link? Leave it broken? Remove it? Something else?

Maybe people would take #RSS more seriously if they understood that it is the basis of #podcasting.

The media in general and #creators specifically could spend a fraction of the time they take to "plug their socials" just explaining to people that RSS is a simple way to follow them.

I also think creators should free themselves from the dreaded algorithms by creating a feed that is updated whenever they release new content. I would argue that they should try to mirror as much of their content as possible on their own sites to control their own archive.

I think that a tool that helps creators aggregate their content across #Platforms would make a lot of difference. Then they can say "instead of following me on all those apps platforms you can just keep updated with rss".

It takes a lot of work to format videos for each #SocialMedia platform. You can't just upload your #YouTube video #TikTok but you can upload (or embed) all those videos to your own site which creates a feed that people can subscribe to with any #RSSApp.

"Writers often work with different publishers over the span of their careers, but #Mastodon is the perfect platform to amass a loyal audience that you, as the author, truly own, and can take with you across the #fediverse."

#Bloggers. I am considering adding a category on my blog for those posts where... hmm... they cannot stand alone and be enjoyed by a casual reader, and they'll only really resonate with people who are genuine 'fans' of your blog.

You know, the people who *get* you.

I think I want to filter certain #blog posts into the following category...
