Yeah! Did that once, many years back. took a couple weeks. Used a ripper program that went out on the net and got all the metadata, saved to a HD (now on the third one). Put the CDs in Logic cases (no-wear), recycled the jewelboxes.

Over time, started to drop album folders into VLC, save the playlists, at ur fingertips.

Good point. Messages sent, images taken, and ‘things happen’ in cars.

could be kind of annoying to export and backup.

True that. Altho, if I were doing a blog, it’d be from stuff I wrote and then posted. (As for comments, how many are worth saving? Present company excepted of course.)

I thought about it too, but I really like HTML and CSS, and prefer a place I can use them. (I’d get interested if I could put anything I want inside a styled <div>…</div>, but sadly few places accomodate that. What they’re worried about I’m uncertain. I’m HOPING that such sites will arise in the Fediverse.)

Since I joined Lemmy a couple months back, one of the ideas I saw mentioned by the Lemmy people for blogging is this: start a Community and make yourself the only poster. You can invite people to be co-posters.

Yes, it has the limits of Lemmy posting. No making your own HTML or fancy backgrounds. But so far as -text- is concerned, the sky’s the limit.

And a LOT risky

Sounds good, tho they’re not finished yet, hope it works out for them.

Not complaint but suggestion: When I get to the bottom of a column of msgs and click the NEXT button … page should scroll to the top!
