Hello everyone. I want to introduce Omicron to Lemmy community. Omicron is modern federated blogging platform that created by modern developers with urgo for decentralized web. You can just try it, create an account or host your own instance! Here are some links fo you: Main instance: https://omicron.blog/ Project website: https://join.omicron.blog/ Full documentation: https://docs.omicron.blog/ Source code: https://github.com/the-jk-labs/omicron
i am interested in your thoughts! you can contact me at subhan@omicron.blog
I’m baffled. Is this sort of like kuro5hin back in the day? The front page looks like that, a bunch of random interspersed posts from different people. Is it blog hosting like wordpress.com where each person has their own blog, except propagated between federated instances? Why would a blogger want to use it instead of a self-hosted blog like Alan Turing (or whoever) intended? If you think your blog might get any traction at all, it seems to me important to own its domain name from the beginning.
It might be cool to have a blogging feature added to Lemmy, sort of like Kuro5hin diaries back in the day. They were like mini-blogs that users could write, alongside the regular slashdot-like news section.
Omicron is easy-to-to use platform for bloggers. Ofc, you can selfhost your blog. Bu we make it modern, advanced, easy and on Fediverse. Bloggers are not developers, they deserve better user experience and freedom at the same time!
I guess I still don’t understand why federation is a positive rather than a negative. Bloggers usually want to give out a single URL to their blog. Plus there are more failure points.
