I wanted to quickly highlight a new blog discovery platform I’ve just learned about called Bubbles.

It uses a community voting system similar to sites like Reddit, Hacker News, or Bear Blog. Signing up is super easy since you just log in with a Fediverse account (with read-only permissions).

I think it’s an interesting alternative to other blog aggregators which typically only show you the most recent posts. You can also sort by new posts in Bubbles, but the ranked view seems like it’ll be nice for making sure I didn’t miss anything good from the past few days.

I’ve added the Bubbles widget to the bottom of my blog posts. You should be able to see the current vote count of this post after Bubbles refreshes and imports it!

Lastly, I’ve also reorganized my bookmarks page and added a dedicated section for places to discover new blogs. Check it out!
