    hi,

    until I had my blog on wordpress.com, I usued to get several like and 1-2 followers per post, thanks to the discoverability on wordpress.com through the tags. Since I moved to a self-hosted wordpress site, this is not happening, even though my site is registered on wordpress.com and I am using jetpack.
    Please, I would like to be found on wordpress.com, is there any way to have this feature back?

    Have you considered asking on WordPress.com?

    Hi @sebas77

    Currently, I don’t believe there is a way. I would be amazed if that were to be implemented only because of the sheer volume of self-hosted sites as well.

    If I’m understanding the question in the correct context, I think it might help to look at self-hosting as a different ecosystem that can connect with the one you inhabited previously. Maybe you can experiment with updating images and SEO so that certain key words and/or hashtags connect with what you were doing previously and if you still have a WordPress.com site that reflects your self-hosted presence or is somehow similar to it, perhaps it’s possible to connect those two so that they compliment one another.

    I had a similar scenario years ago where I had a WordPress.com site that was garnering subscribers. Now that it’s self-hosted it seems that subscribers kind of fell off, but I also don’t have much time to dedicate toward marketing it. When I had a related podcast, related store on Zazzle, related YouTube channel (where I’d just talk about one blog post per day for example), and link to “Favorites” like a blog roll, I had more subscribers rolling in….

    Just a few thoughts that might help….
