I think making your articles on the fediverse is better than building your blog website from scratch.

Instead of https://thisismywebsite.com/blog/
instead do https://publiclemmyinstance.com/c/myblog

This way, it better integrates with fediverse mechanics such as follow, like, comment. Also people can discover your stuff through the "all" feed, even though unlikely, maybe one day we'll get more interesting recommendation algorithms for the fediverse.

    Lemmy instances are not really dependable enough for that. Setting up your own instance would be better, but there's still a discoverability problem because instances don't automatically add you to their feeds.

    Or you create a post on your blog and post the hyperlink to it on Lemmy and maybe some other platforms. Pretty much what I have done here, except that it is not my blog in this case.

    And whoever likes you website can decide to follow you on Lemmy or some other platform or to subscribe to your RSS/ATOM feed.

    I agree with this.

    Social media shouldn't be a requirement to express yourself online. If you start with a website, then you can choose to share on social media if you want, or not, plus anyone who wants to follow the site can subscribe to the feed without needing an account themselves.
