An indie blog's directory of indie blog directories

The article is a blog post that catalogs various directories listing independent (indie) blogs, serving as a meta-directory to help readers discover personal and niche blogging communities outside of mainstream platforms.

Background

- The "indie web" is a movement of people who run their own personal websites and blogs rather than posting on big centralized platforms like Substack, Medium, or social media sites. It prizes ownership, creativity, and small-audience community over algorithmic reach. - This page is itself an indie blog that curates a list of directories where you can find other indie blogs — essentially a meta-directory for discovering small, independent writers across many niches (tech, philosophy, art, etc.). - The site is built by a pair of self-taught programmers who write about building tools for thought and living deliberately with technology. Their audience overlaps with the "digital garden" and "personal knowledge management" communities (e.g., Roam Research, Obsidian users). - Why it matters: As social media fragments and people tire of algorithmic feeds, there's growing interest in the older, slower web of personal blogs and RSS feeds. This directory-of-directories is a practical starting point for anyone wanting to explore that world.
