Are you a member of the 🕸💍 IndieWeb Webring? Today I made an update!
All members of the webring get a unique emoji ID when they first sign in. Previously, those emoji might have included the flag of a country or state, and not everyone wants to be associated with a random country or state!
From now on, new emoji IDs will not include country flags.
If you’re a member of the webring already, and would like a new emoji ID, feel free to drop me a line in the #indieweb chat (I’m schmarty
there). I’ll reset your account and you’ll get a new emoji ID. You’ll also have to update the webring links code on your page to make sure they point to your new ID!

I’d love to! When are you hosting it?

”Welcome to the Microsub life!
I’ve gone crazy with channels but it makes choosing what I want to consume MUCH easier. On busy days I can just mark entire channels as read and ignore the posts if I feel like it but still check the channels that I know contain info or people important to me.
Currently microformats are used to add that richness to webmentions. However because webmention is markup agnostic people could start using other data to get the webmention richness. However there hasn’t been a proven better data format yet. 🤷♂️
Awesome! Webmentions was what originally attracted me to the IndieWeb. you are right, they don’t require microformats. For them to be their best (communicate post intent: like, reply, rsvp, mention) you need some type of data sitting on the src url
I actually don’t use the micro.blog apps aside from Wavelength. I do everything in my RSS reader and my website. So aside from microcasting, nothing would change if I was on Android. I reply through Webmentions from my site to Micro.blog.
There’s a great article about Webmentions on A List Apart, if you haven’t read it: https://alistapart.com/article/webmentions-enabling-better-communication-on-the-internet
