Yesterday at @HelPy , I was asked how I deal with impostor syndrome when it comes to publishing blog posts.

For me, learning and building in public has actually become a way for me to combat it, as backwards as it might sound. I've written about it in the blog:

I have many home-cooked software tools - apps that I've built for myself to solve my own problems.

As I like to share my projects with the world, I've recently ended up spending quite a lot of time thinking about how much polish to the UX I should put into my own tools beyond my own needs.

One of Flipboard’s biggest benefits is its stunning visual presentation, turning every image into a scroll-stopping experience. However, nothing is more frustrating when you’ve built a beautiful Flipboard magazine, but your pictures don’t appear!
During my many years using Flipboard, I tried different things. After enough trial and error, I finally figured out a couple of workarounds.
In this article, I’ll share some of the things that helped. #Flipboard #Blogging #Publishing #Images #FlipboardMagazines #FliboardUserGroup

hey! I've just moved here today and i thought I'd start by introducing myself. I'm an ecologist, specialized in avian and herpetofaunal ecology. i am also very interested in the data science aspect of the discipline, and i am working on getting more familiar with the ins and outs of R programming, and hopefully moving to more conventional programming, so i can feed into my other interests.

i am also muchly into open source software, specifically Emacs and Void Linux, and in my free time, work on contributing to Void Linux packages and my Emacs config. i tend to talk about all of these things a lot.

I'm big on cats. well, basically everything about them. expect a LOT of photos.

i also play the guitar a little and I'm predominantly into loud and dark music. I do talk about the music i listen to as well, both here and on my blog articles.

i also occasionally like to indulge in woodworking, and i hope to get more active with it

i have been blogging since 2016, on and off, and recently revived my blog after a hiatus of nearly 2 years.

I encourage you to take advantage of your Fediverse channels.

Include relevant hashtags in captions when you post content on the social web (fediverse)—either through your Flipboard social account or in your federated Flipboard magazines.

Why?
Hashtags help your content be discoverable by users who follow or search for those topics. Using the right hashtags increases engagement and visibility.

How to Choose the Right Hashtag?
• Search for your topic on Flipboard, Mastodon, Bluesky, or other Fediverse instances.
• Check the popularity of a hashtag (e.g., on Mastodon, #Food has 1.3K mentions, while #Sports has 1K).
• Use a mix of general and specific hashtags to reach a broader audience. #Flipboard #Fediverse #SocialWeb #Blogging #ContentCuration #Publishing
