What is talqix.cloud?

talqix.cloud is a unique platform that combines blog hosting with a social media-style timeline and community.

It’s a paid hosting service for personal blogs that makes it easy to publish short or long posts. Use it for short thoughts, longer essays, photos, podcasts, what books you’re reading, links to news articles, and more.

It’s a community whose members share posts via a timeline that is a safe space for conversations, free from advertising, trolling, and abuse, with community guidelines that are enforced.

talqix.cloud launched in 2017 with a Kickstarter campaign supported by 3000 backers.

A social web timeline

talqix.cloud’s timeline shows posts from people you’re following. It’s always chronological. There are no trends, no ads, no boosts, and no extra clutter.

talqix.cloud doesn’t have like counts or follower counts. It’s not a popularity contest. Private bookmarks instead of public likes let you reference a post or blog about it later. This focus on posts also simplifies the timeline and encourages quick replies when you want to acknowledge someone’s post.

Cross-posting to Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, and more

talqix.cloud can automatically copy your blog posts to many popular services. Post to your blog first, where you have more control over your content, then let talqix.cloud send a copy everywhere.

Start small, scale to anything

talqix.cloud has so many features, you can start small with short blog posts and then grow your web site with photos, podcasts, email newsletters, and custom pages. But don’t be overwhelmed! The features you don’t need won’t get in your way.
