Title: Back on SpaceHey After 5 Years — And I Have Questions!
Tagline: Returning to the old internet and trying to make it my digital commonplace book
Hey everyone! So... I'm back. I made this account about five years ago, totally forgot it existed, and now here I am — mostly because I needed somewhere to blog again now that Amino has pretty much died out.
I'm planning to use SpaceHey as my personal commonplace book — basically a place to dump everything creative and personal in one spot. We're talking recipes, song ideas, poems, short stories, world-building notes, original characters, random thoughts — the whole mess. I'm really excited about it, honestly.
But before I dive in, I have a few genuine questions I'd love help with:
1. Can you organize posts on your profile? Is there a way to sort or categorize your blog posts so visitors (and I) can find specific types of content easily? Like, can I have a "recipes" section separate from "poetry"? Or is it all just one big feed?
2. Why isn't my profile picture uploading? I've tried setting one and it just... isn't working. Is this a known bug? Is there a specific file size or format I should be using?
3. Do tags exist — and can they help with organization? I noticed some posts seem to have tags. Does SpaceHey support them for blogs? Would adding tags make it easier to browse my own content by category?
4. How do you make your profile look better overall? Any tips or tricks for customizing layouts, colors, or sections? I want it to feel like my space, not just a default page.
5. Is SpaceHey still active? I've seen some posts on Reddit suggesting it's slowed down or gone quiet, but I don't fully trust Reddit for this kind of thing. Figured I'd ask here directly — are people still posting and interacting regularly?
Would love any answers or advice from people who actually use this platform! Drop a comment if you know anything. 🙏

1. You can't organise blogs on your blog page beyond pinning three of them, the rest are ordered chronologically, however you could definitely code something like that onto your profile quite easily. You could do a drop down menu one with your recipies blog and the other with poetry. You could do something similar with scroll boxes or add sections in your interest box area to put them in. There are probably more ways to do this but this is just what I thought of off the top of my head.
2. I've seen other people complaining about this, so it's probably just a bug. Maybe try messing about with the resolution and making it smaller and see if that helps? I'm honestly outta ideas there.
3. I rarely see tags but in theory they would be useful when searching for blog entries. Unfortunately you can't search only your blogs, only all blogs, however if you had a unique tag that only you were using, I could see that working.
4. I made a blog for some tips and tricks to help with this ^^ Click here!
5. It's definitely still active, you just have to find the right people. I think the activity has slowed a bit, but interestingly enough drama blogs get quite a few interactions, so I feel like it's just people not bothering to read any blogs that aren't on the front page of top blogs. A lot of people only stay for a couple of weeks and then leave, others stay. I joined over two years ago and I've only retained a single friend from back then lolol
