USING LINKHUT TO SIGNAL-BOOST MY BOOKMARKS

It must have been at least a year ago that I first noticed linkhut,
and its flagship instance at ln.ht, appear on SourceHut, where it
immediately caught my attention for its good taste in inspirations.
Once upon a time, I had a Pinboard account, which is a similar
concept, but I never used it for anything in the end. When I saw
linkhut I had a similar experience: I signed up and played with it for
a few minutes before moving on.

I’ve been rethinking my relationship social media lately, as some
may have inferred from my unannounced disappearance from Mastodon.
While reflecting on this again recently, in a stroke of belated
inspiration I suddenly appreciated the appeal of tools like linkhut,
especially alongside RSS feeds – signal-boosting stuff I read and
found interesting.

The appeal of this reminds me of one of the major appeals of
SoundCloud to me, back when I used it circa… 2013? That is: I could
listen to the music that artists I liked were listening to, and that
was _amazing_ for discovering new music. Similarly, for those of you
who enjoy my blog posts, and want to read the stuff I like reading,
check out my linkhut feed. You can even subscribe to its RSS feed if
you like. There isn’t much there today, but I will be filling it up
with interesting articles I see and projects I find online.

I want to read _your_ linkhut feed, too, but it’s pretty quiet there
at the moment. If you find the idea interesting, sign up for an
account or set up your own instance and start bookmarking stuff –
and email me your feed so I can find some good stuff to subscribe to
in my own feed reader.
