Every once in a while, I read my old blog posts that link to other articles or blogs. 99% of those sites are now offline or show a domain-for-sale page. It kind of makes me sad. Most of my own websites are still online after 20+ years. I wonder why they gave up.

That being said, this instance will be online forever - I'll make sure of it. Even after my passing, I want it to live on. My websites have survived even when hosting companies went bankrupt, and so will this instance.

@timbray on #URI schemes of the #Fediverse (and #BlueSky).

If he writes good pieces like that, we rather should listen and probably implement his suggestions as they are great!

For the first issue (not being able to directly interact with a toot although web-logged-in), you can use browser add-ons like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mastodon4-redirect/ that redirect fediverse-links to your instance.

Reminder: Blog URL structure

A well formed structure is good for you, your users & the search engines. So, make sure they are well formed & consistent.

Good practice:
/blog/ ✔️
/blog/[<category>] ✔️
/blog/[<category>/]<file-name> ✔️

Avoid:
/[<category>] ❌
/[<category>/]<file-name> ❌
