A reminder that you can pull your posts from your #Mastodon server using the RSS feed or the JSON API, and put them on your own website, like I did: https://abhinavsarkar.net/microblog/
Next year I’m going to Internet like it’s 1999. #indieweb
I've started reading up on #ActivityPub. So far I had been assuming that the "@user@host" scheme was baked into the protocol, but apparently it isn't, and it's perfectly capable of integrating user-less domains into the Fediverse.
Have I misread it? (I admit I only did surface level reading so far.)
If I haven't, wouldn't this mean that instances could (theoretically) also just act as hosting providers for #IndieWeb style domain-as-identity accounts?
Kitchen-Sink now has support for:
- raw `json`, `csv`, and `dhall` files that get copied straight to the /raw directory
- archived articles, which are still up with a small warning and don't show up in all listings (like upcoming articles)
If you're part of the new wave joining Mastodon today, welcome! Post an #introduction and let people know if you find anything here boggling of mind. #IndieWeb
The open web is showing its resiliency and longevity. Silos inevitably fail, while protocols and standards endure. #IndieWeb #Fediverse
@viticci @Gargron @macstories To be fair this was the #IndieWeb approach before #Mastodon… and a whole lot of others’ approaches before that https://indieweb.org
Wow. Our friends over at @macstories have stood up their own Mastodon instance. Kudos to the whole team over there. We're big fans of this, obviously. Long live the #indieweb!
Content warning: Twitter on banning Fediverse links
...and if you try putting a #Ferdiverse link in your profile, it's flagged as malware.
Who knows what that might be doing to your ability to show up in timelines...
Enough with the back and forth. I'm leaving the colosseum for real. I don't need it. I never needed it.
#IndieWeb #Fediverse and #SelfHosted is where it's at.
i really cannot find a good link about indieweb spoke and hub right now .. re having multiple accounts vs a central spot & repeaters #indieweb #indymedia
Is this the night of broken glass on Twitter? Links to mastodon.social, indieweb and hachydem have apparently been banned. Someone else’s?
/sarcasm ON
It's a clear move to promote free speech, I guess.
@chrisaldrich @leo yes, that would be interesting to expand upon. #indieweb seems protocol driven whereas #fediverse is people driven.
Over time, the people of the fediverse will require richer protocols, and no doubt some of the indieweb ideas will form the basis of those.
But as with humanity in general, people gather first, then decide what protocols are needed.
If you aggregated some RSS feeds and piped the result into a Mastodon account, would that be the United Federation of Planets?
It was the microformats2 feed on your homepage. It still showed content, but it's formatted a bit weird, showing multiple notes in one "post". Try it in the Monocle preview: https://monocle.p3k.io/preview?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcolinwalker.blog%2F
Currently the authorship on my notes points to the homepage, so the h-card there should have the info. It's not as common a setup, but see steps 5 and 7 in https://indieweb.org/authorship-spec#Algorithm
