You can follow this garden by pasting one address into a feed reader:

https://splendidcuriosity.com/index.xml

That is an RSS feed. It is a plain file that lists everything published here, and it has been the boring, working answer to “how do I follow this?” for about twenty-five years. No account, no algorithm deciding what you get to see, and nothing landing in your inbox.

You need a reader to make sense of it — NetNewsWire if you are on Apple things, Feedbro or Vivaldi if you want it in the browser, Miniflux or FreshRSS if you would rather host it yourself. Paste the address, and new notes show up there when they show up.

If you click the address directly, your browser will show you a wall of XML or offer to download it. That is not an error, it is just a file meant for machines — the raw feed is right there if you want to look at it anyway.
