Five years ago (Monday the 23rd) the @W3C Social Web Working Group published the WebSub Recommendation^1

The test suites https://websub.rocks/ for Publishers, Subscribers, and Hubs are still up & running, as are the vast majority of implementations documented in the implementation report.

My site supports the publishing side of WebSub via the Superfeedr Hub^2 and there are many more supporting sites^3.

Beyond publishing blog posts and realtime updates in social readers^4, there are additional WebSub use-cases such as real time #IndieWeb search^5 results, like Technorati except opt-in via WebSub subscriptions, and without any polling.

Such diverse use-cases are one of the benefits of building-block^6 standards^7 like WebSub.

If you create a new WebSub implementation, be sure to test it with the test suite^8 and add your results to the WebSub Implementation Reports repo^9.

https://bw3.dev/ (@0x3b0b) your reply mostly worked as intended!
I checked my webmention.io:
* 2 replies via Bridgy Fed and Bridgy (backfeed from Twitter), and
* 1 mention directly from your original post permalink.

Your #IndieWeb reply does have a u-in-reply-to link to a fed-brid-gy/r/ prefixed URL of my permalink, however the u-in-reply-to link directly to my site is linked to my previous post (look for "2023/018/t1" in your reply content’s markup) instead of the intended post!

Try updating that direct link to use the correct URL (my original post at top of thread), add some link text to it, and resend a webmention.

It’s ok to have multiple visible reply links (e.g. this reply has them, to your post & POSSE tweet reply, at the top.).

Lastly, when you link directly from IndieWeb site to IndieWeb site with your reply, there’s no need to also link via Bridgy Fed. The direct Webmention is sufficient.

Thinking about using the $300 Google Cloud credit to set up a VM and start playing with #indieweb projects. I've written enough web apps, I suppose I should try hosting one for once.

Any suggestions for someone new to the self-hosting world?

Found some really great #IndieWeb resources tonight, all of which tell me it's time to move over to Netlify for my static site. @sia has the place to start, and she links through to some other great sites from here as well.

Dear #IndieWeb @tantek.com

Curious - are #webrings operational right now?

Discovered this webring kit by @mxbck and it looks very cool.

Every Person DESERVES AND IS ENTITLED TO Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Justice no matter their color, race, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, or class. I just saw the Tyre Nichols video and decided that my IndieWeb project will be skipped tonight. Tyre Nichols and a host of other people deserved life, liberty, and the pursuit of justice.

📝 "This Gem is Mentionable"
Excited to announce a new gem release that allows #Rails apps to accept, verify, and parse #Webmentions! What are Webmentions? They're sort of like Pingback, but more concretely they're a way to let some other website know that your website linked to it.

Day #3: The Self-Insert Webring

Koinuko's webring is a bit odd, but she puts in a lot of effort every month adding new people. Go show her & it some love!

If Nextcloud Contacts was like 20% better I think I could completely avoid needing to set up a personal CRM (or PRM as I'm told they're called).

Anyone have experience with this or other open source tools for this purpose? Ideally I can double down on NC because it's something I already use and maintain.

#Nextcloud #OpenSource #IndieWeb

My writing doesn't produce evergreens à la @andy_matuschak@toot.io. It produces lived experiences. Anyone visiting my #DigitalGarden would've been able to see. Much of the content I was writing was either acting as a catcher's mitt, a builder of connections, or short posts that the #IndieWeb community might classify as "notes". My love for the old-fashioned blog had drifted to the background, and most of what I was doing on my website, sadly, was busywork.

Now my website's search indexes my Mastodon posts as well, along with my blog posts and notes. Another step towards #indieweb.

There are many opposing forces in the #IndieWeb that can seem like catch-22s, yet help clarify priorities, and balance present pragmatism & future optimism.

* Indie, yet often on corporate infrastructure
* Independent, yet dependent on community
* Own your content^1, yet share publicly, perhaps CC0^2
* Control of your design^3, yet lack of control elsewhere^4
* UX freedom & creativity, yet guidance toward common patterns for usability
* Decentralized, yet DNS
* Make what you need^5, yet open source^6 for others
* Plurality^7 of projects, yet conforming to standards^8
* Build it yourself, yet use services, software, & libraries built by others

These are a few off the top of my head and implied by the IndieWeb wiki home page^9 and principles^10.

Rather than contradictions, these tensions are a source of inquiry, questions, and conversations.

Each could be expanded into their own discussion or exploration.

Each of them is an axis of sorts, with different “right” answers for different people, depending on what they want, and how much time or other resources they have.

Each makes the most sense when explored in the context of a focus on solving real user needs to participate directly on today’s web.

Each is also a trap for abstract logic, theoretical purity, or dogmatic absolutism, especially when detached from real world goals, constraints, and efforts.


This is day 22 of #100DaysOfIndieWeb #100Days, written after a break. Many double days ahead.

Finally got chance to try out #Micropub server on my personal site.
https://indieweb.org/Micropub

I'd been aware of the various #IndieWeb projects for a while, still exciting by the potential, but the barriers need dramatic simplification.

(I'm saying that as an old web dev and was scratching my head several times.)

Ich darf tatsächlich an der #fernuni eine #hausarbeit zum Thema #indieweb schreiben und es bockt sehr.

Noch drei Wochen bis zur Deadline—wünscht mir Glück 🤞

I finally had an #IndieWeb learning breakthrough, and got my #WebMentions to pass the latest tests..with some slight cheating. The process isn’t automated on my site right now, but at least I understand the concept better.

I am taking a short break from Webmentions today. I have been reading a lot of articles and I found an application that I could install that would let me save articles. Day 19 of 100 #100DaysofIndieWeb, #IndieWeb, #ProjectJournal, #ProjectManagement #WordPress
