life hack: use your social media to create a blog

life hack: use your social media to create a blog. every post I make on instagram/fb is now nightly moved into my blog posts, my social media compilations hosted on my own site, where I can control the format and the composition, where google will find them, you can easily browse older posts and see the whole story play out. and where there are posts about relevant seeds or plants that are in our shop, I'm linking to to them to just give folks better information, a better experience to learn about growing that plant and some photos about what's worked for me and some behind the scenes about how I'm growing them. I don't scroll social media, the bottomless bowl - I get it but it's not for me, but I do enjoy encaging with people, talking to others who are interested in this stuff. The best way to interact with my posts or if you find my blog, leave me a comment - save the likes they're just for the algorithm. So these blog posts - I'm taking back my ideas my thought and photos and doing my own thing with them, really - instram is now just a handy phone app to post to my blog, feels like I've life hacked the big social media app and jailbroken it, of course they could offer a better front end a better exerience like I've built - they just don't want to (enshitification, walled garden, attention highjacking - they only show you what's new and grabs your attention). I've seen others post that they're leaving social media for mental health reasons and I totally get it. Hopefully what I'm creating - a blog with hundreds of my posts arranged like a magazine, in a format on a topic, no ads, no dancing videos, just information and thoughts and questions - hopefully this offers another way to take all of this in for those who don't want to scroll in the big apps. find these on my site link in bio just scroll to the bottom and there's topics called social media compilations, it's a work in progress - and now anything i've posted this year surfaces to the top.
