I've been writing reviews since my Reddit days, and I posted a couple here on Lemmy (primarily Mecha anime). However, since I can't post for reddit for reasons I don't want to into detail for and since Lemmy is too small, I'm thinking about just making my own website to post reviews on. So should I go for it? What should I know before doing it?

If you're good you'll be fodder for some AI crawling your site

But do it, follow your joy

    If you're asking about doing it as something to generate a living on, I'd be kind of skeptical. I can't think of a whole lot of review sites out there today like that with full-timers.

    If not, though, I don't see what you have to lose other than the time and maybe a bit of money.

    Yes.

    Just use an existing platform of some kind, spend your time reviewing rather than building a site to post them on.

    Consider an email list. Ghost is a publishing option that would let you have both a website and an email. It’s easier to get your audience’s attention if you send them messages rather than relying on them to visit your website.

    Broadly I think it’s a good idea. And post your writing on Lemmy as well!

    Why do you want to do this?
