I built a postroll for my site using Linkding (self-hosted bookmark manager) and Flora (static site generator that @nickv created).
It's still a work in progress, but I'm already happier with it than my previous blogroll, which didn't give me enough granularity:

#blogues #indieweb #blogroll
As redes sociais nos ensinaram a nos cercar de iguais. Mesmas opiniĂ”es, mesmos repertĂłrios, mesmas bolhas. A desgraça do algoritmo reforçando isso o tempo todo: quanto mais previsĂvel vocĂȘ for, mais ele te entrega versĂ”es de vocĂȘ mesmo.Mas o blog faz o contrĂĄrio porque ele abre uma porta para desconhecidos. Pessoas que vocĂȘ nunca viu, de cidades que vocĂȘ nĂŁo conhece, que hegam ali por caminhos improvĂĄveis.
Elas leem sobre sua vida, suas ideias, seus tropeços. Ăs vezes deixam um comentĂĄrio. Ăs vezes mandam um e-mail. Ăs vezes sĂł passam⊠Mas tenho certeza absoluta que elas sempre levam algo!
Em: Todos deverĂamos blogar mais (e nos conectar mais com estranhos!)

Let's take social media back from the platform owners and give it back to its true owners, the communities.
The community sets the rules, and the community manages. No one's data has to be a resource for someone else.

Let me tell you about OpenMentions
OpenMentions is a website I made around the idea of OpenTopics, which are targets for WebMentions with a standing invitation to tag them whenever you want. This, I hope, creates a little more discoverability in the WebMention ecosystem.
OpenMentions also supports ActivityPub.
Eh, what, Matt?
This post is about my website, which you can add comments to from your own website.
If your website supports WebMentions (the tech that does all that) and auto-sends mentions, all you need to do is add a link to the topic page (or question of the week). If not, thereâs a ping thing where you can post your link on the page you linked to.
WebMentions are a better, more modern Trackback.
Why, though, Matt?
Not long after I started using WebMentions, I started to think thoughts. Dangerous, I know. My thoughts ran something like this:
I remember when Technorati was cool. It used to index blog posts.
I wish we had something like that now, but a bit more IndieWeb.
These WebMention things are great. You could use them to live update blog topics. I wonder why no one has done that yet.
With those thoughts refusing to leave my head, I saw an idea I could make happen. That was when I made OpenMentions. I was, I would later learn, following the IndieWeb principle of make what you need. Closely followed by use what you make.
I tag OpenMentions from many of my blog projects and try to encourage others to do the same. To avoid drowning out less frequent voices, I try not to tag it too much.
Okay, sure. Whatâs the tech behind OpenMentions, Matt?
Because I lacked the spoons to code something from scratch, I took a few minor shortcuts. I created a WordPress blog, custom-themed it (not my best work) and used the excellent WebMention (and later, ActivityPub) plugins. After all, why reinvent the square wheel?
I wrote a simple plugin to help me add topic pages.
Thatâs it. Not much at all.
You said something about OpenTopics. What are they, Matt?
OpenTopics is the theory I cooked up first. My idea was that my website should not be the sole endpoint because it could go away.
I envisage a set of meta tags that all topic end points to be found and followed. But, for now, all I do is link from a topic page to other websites that want to host more specific topics.
You silly-billy, Matt. IndieNews is a thing!
I first learned about IndieNews in the last few days from Wojtek Powiertowskiâs blog post, âExploring the Smallweb and IndieWebâ. To be honest, I might not have made OpenMentions if I found IndieNews first.
I think both can coexist because the overlap is only a good thing. Iâm about to go add links to IndieNews to OpenMentions.
Who can use OpenMentions?
Anyone at all.
What about spam then?
Because WebMention checks for an inbound link, spam has been entirely self-filtering up to now. Long may that last.
Hey Matt, you broke something. My ping was accepted, but I donât see my comment.
WordPress holds comments from places it has not seen before for manual approval. I keep meaning to write a plugin that will auto-approve WebMentions and ActivityPub replies. Iâll get there eventually unless someone beats me to it.
I have suggestions, Matt
Every topic page has a topic meta. If you need to be more general, the OpenMentions Mentions page exists. Send a mention ping to whatever chatty meta bit you want to talk about.
Or comment here (even though OpenMentions is where the cool kids are).
In conclusion
In conclusion. I made a thing. It is sort of like a forum, except you use your own website (or Mastodon account). It is free, open to all, and (in my egotistical opinion) rather cool.
I would love more people to use it.
PS
Iâm writing this for IndieWeb News and filing this as IndieWeb on OpenMentions. If you read it on MatrixDreams.com, the middle bit has some cool formatting.
