Why not start a blog? Or any other kind of website off of social media? Especially if the social media you're using is not yours (like your own fedi server).
Do save your pages/ files/ texts on your computer too, not just on the server your site/ blog lives on, so they don't vanish should the host server vanish.
Don't be afraid of shouting into the void at first. Enjoy the process of finding out what you would like to do with your site. People will find you if you want that!
Not ready to publish to the world? Play with the site on your computer first. There is no need to ever publish your site anywhere.
Use a service that offers pre-existing designs or try your hand at HTML and maybe even CSS yourself.
Resources for the latter could be
HTML for people by @bw@social.lol
NeoCities
those you can find on my site's links collection
and many more.
Don't worry about a schedule. Post stuff whenever you want. 5 times a day, once every 6 months, or something else entirly - it's your site and your rules.
Most of all: Have fun creating, have fun learning, have fun expressing yourself!

A tour of the fediverse delightful experience curated and looking for the minimalist projects may also yield some viable candidates for you, like in #Blogging category..

There are some interesting #SmallWeb philosophies wrt social networking, like the project #Seppo by @mro and funded by @nlnet focusing on simplicity, robustness, and ease of use.

Those of us who seek freedom from distraction, clarity of mind, and personal growth... sadly, we are a minority. And the mainstream Internet today just isn't made for minorities.
It's made to monetize the masses and this wont change any time soon.
Its somewhat a relief to not worry about growing so big and popular, nor having to change, fight or resist the system. Leave that behind and we can build our own community instead, because nobody "big" is going to do it for us.
"Slow social media
(...) what would a non-evil social media platform look like?
I'd love to see everyone running a blog, and subscribing to the people they care about via RSS. But unfortunately this doesn't scale since it requires effort to put your thoughts down in writing longer than 255 characters. I have many friends who don't even know I have a blog, or what an RSS reader is.
So while everyone blogging may be the ideal we can aspire to, let's design a hypothetical social media platform that takes the good aspects of current social media, while creating pro-social incentives.
The platform should be about:
Keeping up with friends, family, and other acquaintances
Connection (but, you know, real connection)
Improving relationships
Thoughtful engagement
The platform should NOT be about:
Collecting followers
Self-promotion
Advertising and marketing
Short-form video and media entertainment
(...)"
Interesting thoughts worth reading!

Over this summer I’ve shifted the Origami expression language to be a closer dialect of JavaScript expressions. https://jan.miksovsky.com/posts/2025/09-15-syntax-changes
The language has wonderful early adopters making personal sites. Feedback indicated that differences from JavaScript created trouble; eliminating those improved the language.
Origami is now essentially **JavaScript expressions plus paths**, with a few additional features that make it easier to define a site.
Auf dem @luki Treffen hat @emk #Lowmark vorgestellt: Einen #PHP-#StaticSiteGenerator mit dem Ziel, ihn so einfach wie möglich zu machen.
Einen schönes, pädagogisches #LowTech #SmallWeb Ziel.
Passt zum #Gemini Protocol, bei dem das Designziel ist, dass es jeder (der eine Programmiersprache kann) in ein paar Dutzend Zeilen implementieren kann. Deswegen ist #Gemtext sogar noch einfacher als #Markdown.

"forgejo" comes from the Esperanto word "forĝejo".
"retejo" is (also) an Esperanto word.
The meaning of the Esperanto word "retejo" can be understood as follows:
ret-: The root for "net" or "web".
-ej-: A suffix meaning "place" or "site".
-o: The noun ending.
Codeberg.orgretejoretejo provides an HTTP web-site for one forgejo users. A popular forgejo instance server is codeberg. Thus, retejo works with codeberg.You can think of this as an alternative to Codeberg Pages and GitHub Pages.

The way the name "retejo" was chosen was inspired by how the name "forgejo" chosen.

So, I thought — what if I just ran my own web-server to server files from Codeberg.
And thus, Retejo was born.

But, while I am at it, I can also add automatic ActivityPub / ActivityStreams support to it.

Another motivation for creating Retejo is this:
https://mastodon.social/@reiver/114076598430655105
I want to be able to write long-form articles using whatever text-editor I choose to use, editing a file, and using git.
Not everyone will want to create long-form content this way — but I want to create long-form content this way.

Retejo pulls its data from a Forgejo / Gitea site — such as Codeberg.
That means I can write things using whatever text-editor I want by editing a file.
And then push that file to Codeberg — or any other Forgejo / Gitea site — using git
And then, it automatically shows up on my Retejo site

I kept that type of user in mind when designing Retejo —
That some people want to write in Markdown rather than HTML.
So, Retejo has native support for Markdown.
And, in particular, CommonMark with the GitHub Flavored Markdown (GTM) extensions that most people expect nowadays.
