As the pandemic hit and many of us were confined to our homes, I found myself getting back into blogging. I had always enjoyed writing, but over the years, I had fallen out of the habit. But with so much extra time, I decided to start posting on Medium again.

Around six months ago, I stumbled upon a new platform called Micro.blog. I was immediately intrigued by its unique features and the community formed around it. However, I didn’t have time to dive in and explore it further with everything else going on.

Fast forward to today, and I am excited to dive into the Micro.blog finally. One of the things that I love most about it is its support for ActivityPub, an open standard for decentralized social networking.

Another great feature of Micro.blog is its simplicity. The platform is designed to be easy to use, with a clean and straightforward interface. This makes it perfect for bloggers who are just starting out or for those who are looking for a more streamlined blogging experience. Additionally, Micro.blog offers a variety of customization options, such as the ability to choose from various templates and add your custom CSS. This allows users to make their blogs stand out from the crowd.

One of the most exciting features is the ability to host your microblog on your domain, this would give you more control over your data, and it’s a great way to build your brand.

With Micro.Blog, you don’t have to worry about maintenance, security issues, or paying for Plugins. Everything you need to start writing and creating is included. The platform takes care of all the technical aspects of running a blog, such as hosting, backups, and updates, so you can focus on creating content. This contrasts WordPress, where you must handle all of these technical aspects or pay for a managed hosting service.

I’m excited to be using the Micro.blog and explore all it offers. The platform’s support for ActivityPub and Mastodon and its dedicated community make it an excellent option for bloggers looking for a new home. I’m eager to see what the future holds for Micro.blog and how it will continue to evolve.
