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?

Thanks! I have old blogs all over the place. I actually created a blog of sorts on my website back before blogging was a thing; that's still up, although I haven't updated it in years. Had a LiveJournal; that's still up too, although I moved to Dreamwidth when LJ went bigoted. Unfortunately pretty much everyone I knew on LJ/DW is either dead or inactive. I have a few Blogger blogs, but none of them is active apart from my political one, which I only post to because I know nobody reads it (okay, one guy does at least occasionally, but he's not the critical type). It's kind of like whispering into a hole "Midas has the ears of an ass!", except not as effective.

I'm BobQuasit@bookwyrm.social on Bookwyrm. I don't know if you can see the direct message I posted there, but I expect that any posts I make there will just be about books.

I just discovered that kbin doesn't have the option to post blog entries just for yourself; you have to assign them to a community. So that's out.

I could post to Mastodon, but as I recall there's a character limit. And I'm a chatterbox, as you can see. So...that. 😔
