Found a link to this and thought some folks on Tildes would appreciate it
Somewhere out there, someone wrote a really good blog post today. You'll probably never find it. Google won't show it to you. Social media buried it under engagement bait.
Bubbles tries to surface it. Community voting applied to thousands of personal, independent blogs, with identity and discussion routed through the Fediverse.

I don't really use social media outside message boards, so that Fediverse-based account system is a no-go for me. But I've otherwise enjoyed the posts that it surfaces, the couple times I've checked.
Tildes with curated list of blogs would seem even better. Without corporate media and without Fediverse-based account. I wish they haven't used Fediverse in bubbles.town.
I was surprised to see my blog is already listed there. I haven’t noticed any uptick in traffic, but I also am not very militant about checking traffic either.
I've been enjoying visiting Bubbles occasionally to read some blog posts. I like it as an aggregator of "the small web" in a way since a lot of posts that bubble up are from that world.
As a daily mastodon user the fediverse aspect I don't mind at all, it's easy to ignore anyway, though I don't think it's necessary (I don't even really think them having comments at all is necessary).
I just use the site as a way to see some personal blog posts about interesting topics, I don't really bother with the social aspect.

Hmm. This reminds me a lot of the original incarnation of Reddit, before there were comments. And that is a very good thing.
