This is a list of resources I use to discover new blogs.

## Hacker News

By far the best way I’ve discovered new blogs is through Hacker News. I occasionally discover new blogs when a post/article from that blog is submitted to Hacker News. There are also HN posts where people share blogs:

- [Ask HN: Could you share your personal blog here?](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36575081&ref=nelson.cloud)
- [Ask HN: Favorite Blogs by Individuals?](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27302195&ref=nelson.cloud)

There’s more posts like these that can be found with a quick Google ssearch.

## Kagi Small Web

**[https://kagi.com/smallweb/](https://kagi.com/smallweb/?ref=nelson.cloud)**

Kagi Small Web is an effort to highlight smaller sites and blogs around the web. You can learn more in [Kagi’s announcement post](https://blog.kagi.com/small-web?ref=nelson.cloud)

A list of all sites indexed by Kagi Small Web is on GitHub: [https://github.com/kagisearch/smallweb/blob/main/smallweb.txt](https://github.com/kagisearch/smallweb/blob/main/smallweb.txt?ref=nelson.cloud)

## indieblog.page

**[https://indieblog.page/](https://indieblog.page/?ref=nelson.cloud)**

indieblog.page lets you click a button and get a random blog post.

They also have a [list of all blogs](https://indieblog.page/all?ref=nelson.cloud) and [several RSS feeds](https://indieblog.page/rss?ref=nelson.cloud) to make discoverability easier.

## theforest.link

**[https://theforest.link/](https://theforest.link/?ref=nelson.cloud)**

Very similar to [indieblog.page](https://indieblog.page/?ref=nelson.cloud) but more minimal. Click a button and get redirected to a random site.

## blogs.hn

**[https://blogs.hn/](https://blogs.hn/?ref=nelson.cloud)**

This is a collection of blogs that mainly come from Hacker News. It was created by [Taylor Troesh](https://taylor.town/?ref=nelson.cloud).

## Neocities

**[https://neocities.org/](https://neocities.org/?ref=nelson.cloud)**

Neocities is a place where users can create a static site for free. Most sites here are reminiscent of the 90s web. I like to [browse by the latest updated sites](https://neocities.org/browse?sort_by=last_updated&ref=nelson.cloud) but there are other filters too.

## ooh.directory

**[https://ooh.directory/](https://ooh.directory/?ref=nelson.cloud)**

ooh.directory is a collection of blogs on all sorts of topics. They have a [Random Blogs](https://ooh.directory/random/?ref=nelson.cloud) area that works similarly to [indieblog.page](https://indieblog.page/?ref=nelson.cloud) and [theforest.link](https://theforest.link/?ref=nelson.cloud).

## 250kb.club, 512kb.club, 1mb.club

**[https://250kb.club/](https://250kb.club/?ref=nelson.cloud)**

**[https://512kb.club](https://512kb.club?ref=nelson.cloud)**

**[https://1mb.club](https://1mb.club?ref=nelson.cloud)**

These sites all have the same idea in that they are collections of sites that are under a certain size (at least for the home page). There’s lots of blogs to discover among all three lists.
