There are a lot of small websites on the Internet: Interesting websites, beautiful websites, unique websites. Unfortunately they are incredibly hard to find. You cannot find them on Google or Reddit, and while you can stumble onto them with my search engine, it is not in a very directed fashion. It is an unfortunate state of affairs. Even if you do not particularly care for becoming the next big thing, it’s still discouraging to put work into a website and get next to no traffic beyond the usual bots.

    Lemmy instances are not really dependable enough for that. Setting up your own instance would be better, but there’s still a discoverability problem because instances don’t automatically add you to their feeds.

      we need

      • links from fediverse instances to other fediverse instances
      • maybe tools like https://fediversemap.com/ to find fediverse instances that are physically close to you, to connect to people irl and organize irl events
      • prefer to post content on already existing instances so you get better exposure
