How do you ensure that?

How do you ensure that?
As far as I know if it is on the open web, no way to ensure.
Robots.txt can be configured but is not always followed.
I haven’t heard of Write Freely; looks like it’s kind of an open source Medium alternative?
and it's a part of Fediverse, so you can follow the blogs from your Mastodon account. and I think a reply from Mastodon will show up as a comment under the post.
Yes
@buru5 @fediverse , I guess the best answer to the question is on their site : https://writefreely.org/about
If I am a reader, can I leave comments on blogs/stories as it's part of fediverse?
h
I have my own self-hosted blog. Is there a way to publish my blog to the fediverse and have its own fediverse server?
I know I can technically just post a link to my blog posts on mastodon or something, but is there another way to do it directly?
Is that on WordPress or Ghost?
No it's just a static site I built, mostly using eleventy static site generator
I believe you could convert the entries to RSS and then use one of the tools available to publish RSS to Lemmy.
Any genres you focus on?
anything goes
What's a good reason to sign up for yet another indie writing platform? My time is limited, and there are plenty of alternatives.
for you, none; why would you sign up for more than one to begin with? this is for anyone who hasn't signed up for multiple yet-another-indie-writing platforms and is looking for a federated write freely instance to join (considering write.as is closed for registration).
Why would you sign up for more than one to begin with?
If it's got a good new feature, audience, promise of service, or something to distinguish it from shouting into the void.
That’s like saying a Lemmy instance needs new features to distinguish it.
Well, yes.
It doesn't have to be a technical feature though.
Write freely is a federated platform
