People are still posting on their own websites and the independent open web is still alive and doing fine.

In the meantime, start with this:

https://blogs.hn/

https://searchmysite.net/

https://omg.lol/

https://ooh.directory/

https://aboutideasnow.com/

https://wiby.me/

https://tildeverse.org/

You can also find pages using internet meta in my project https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database

I use 'personal' tag to identify personal blogs.
