Think this micro.blog account will replace my current one at Sharkey.
Website to do’s:
- Add Microblog section to nav and link to micro.blog.
- Link Blog to bearblog.dev
Hello from micro.blog’s official app!
Imported past toots from my Mastodon accounts at indieweb.social and planet.earth. Just to test the tool. It’s pretty cool!
first post! excited to be using micro.blog!

Turns out my application to scicomm.xyz had been accepted *weeks* ago. My email provider had yeeted the messages to the spam folder.
Gonna be trying out #Pixelfed and #Sharkey. Former for nature, food, and travel photos, and the latter as a microblogging alternative to Mastodon.
@mdmrn Thank you for sharing! And apologies for the extra late reply. I really appreciate the long reply!
Glad to hear there's still a lot of freedom in the environmental field. It's something that I really value in professional work as I love learning about new things. Spent sometime making a list of interests to toot after this intro to keep track of them.
@chartgerink @ResearchEquals Got it. Looking forward to the update! I noticed that the only way to search the site was probably through the search bar so I was a little confused about how to find stuff.
On the other hand, happy to see the small web in gaining traction. I'm of the mind that alternatives should be as easily accessible for non-technical folks as possible.
It hasn't been lost on me that search engines make it difficult to find information on the small web / indie web. Reading these two articles made me notice that the authors usually have no experience with the ethos nor are they interested in it. While I don't agree with their opinions, in this case, it's a list of alternative blogging platforms that I was looking for, something that I would have had more luck if using the Fediverse instead.
@artcollisions @fiberarts This is beautiful!
@chartgerink @ResearchEquals Any way non-researchers can help? :)
Two articles about alternative #blogging platforms.

🧵
I was hunting for a #blogging platform to host a blog and found several options I want to share:
- #Micro.blog: https://micro.blog/about/blogging
- #Pika: https://pika.page/
- #Bearblog.dev: https://bearblog.dev/
Done! Link hub updated https://maryseph.github.io/MarySeph-Linktree/. Includes a link to a brand new blog on bearblog.dev. Excited to use it!
Created a list for the people I follow as some tags that flood my home page. It works!
Fingers have been itching to make a product review of the deodorant I use. Not for consumerist purposes. I just think it's really neat that there are some companies offering something different in the country I'm staying at.
The audience I have in mind is tourists who care about their environmental footprint.
If anything, I'm building a collection of products I can point people to if they become interested in alternatives. And practice writing science!
Oof, my link hub needs a serious update. Change the tag line (maybe add a little description), remove the link to WordPress. Don't really use my LinkedIn either.
I had been using Elk and my server's front-end on my laptop and mobile but it wasn't working for me.
I downloaded Whalebird and FediStar for desktop but I didn't like it either before I reaching Phanpy.social and I love its design!
I used @FediTips page on what apps I can use to access Mastodon.
