@charlesroper using NetNewsWire here. Would love some recommendations on good #IndieWeb feeds as just getting back into RSS

@fediversenews @steve @Stark9837 Agreed. #IndieWeb is a good example of a federation that doesn’t use #ActivityPub. You could make a case for #RSS, as well. ActivityPub is my absolute LEAST favorite protocol to work with, but it’s the current darling of the “extended” Fediverse. Some day we may have a better protocol to build upon. But to me too, “The Fediverse” is much bigger than ActivityPub.

This. Right here. This article appears to have been written by someone who didn't even know about #mastodon and the #fediverse, although he mentions #indieweb in passing. It is an in-depth analysis of #platforms, #protocols, #FreeSpeech, #moderation, and the shifting landscape. Given it was in 2019 he certainly didn't predict these things, but it does fit rather well doesn't it? https://knightcolumbia.org/content/protocols-not-platforms-a-technological-approach-to-free-speech

In many ways, the years between 2013 and 2018 were the worst of the #openWeb, with the reduction in browser engine variety (Presto, Trident, even EdgeHTML were all discarded in that timespan), #Firefox giving up on legacy extensions and web feeds, and the #W3C #EME betrayal.

Can we make the years between 2023 and 2028 those of its revival? With the #Fediverse taking shape, a return to prominence of the #indieWeb, and the birth of new protocols like #Gemini, the times seem ripe.

@crschmidt Agree, & I've also found wonderful material on Twitter from 5+ years ago, by searching for people (often historic), places, & topics.
I'd like what I write to be discoverable too! #IndieWeb sounds appealing but complicated. Maybe new formats will emerge for durable content on the Fediverse? Meanwhile I'm keen to find models to format text-&-standard-image-box pages for my own website, in simple html/css rather than anything complicated.
Ideas welcome?

@realn2s @futureclint May I please ask about something simple that I haven't been able to find & don't currently have the skill to write? A model to replicate birdsite/Masto threads in searchable pages on my existing domain, & write blogposts in this format - text & standard 16x9 image boxes - with great modern design, & simple elegant html/css that I can either understand or hope to learn! #IndieWeb connectivity maybe later. Any ideas please? Many of us keen to archive & backup...

I’ve documented how Micro.blog works with the Micropub API’s syndicate-to parameter now that there’s more control over cross-posting. Always feels good to revisit an IndieWeb API.

It’s Friday again. It’s means Follow Friday #FF. Let’s go.

I am almost ready to return to my #100DaysofIndieWeb challenge. The project schedule is up to 900 lines and is almost finished so I hope to be back to the challenge this weekend. #IndieWeb #ProjectJournal (https://tmichellemoore.com/?p=152663)

Adding per-post cross-posting to Micro.blog

I made a thing... well a #blog. I haven't had one in years and some recent messing about with automation gave me the impetus to write something down. I'll be posting about anything that pops into my head from tech stuff to fiction and maybe even a rant or two - https://blog.omaramin.me
It is, of course, #selfhosted and supports #rss.
Any and all feedback is welcome!

🐘 Welcome to Mastodon — Forget Twitter, Mastodon has 10x the engagement.

I've been comparing Twitter and Mastodon. I have 1/10 the followers on Mastodon but TEN TIMES the engagement. From real humans!!

A great collection of recent, updated resources about some of the most confusing #IndieWeb concepts. I’ve definitely stumbled upon all these during my journey as well. Nice to see them so well curated. Thanks for putting this together!

Yep, definitely room for improvement on that. I mentioned it in the #microformats chat. Feel free to stop by with any questions or ideas. We're on IRC but also bridged to Slack and Matrix: microformats.org/wiki/irc

@lukzmu All I have to say is #IndieWeb. I will always have a place I can call my own with my website. My social media channels are just a way to distribute and amplify my content.

Web 1.0 was like the debut album from a promising new band: rough around the edges, sometimes uncontrolled, compelling, and full of the passionate energy that later albums lack due to the greed of a big label deal. #oldweb #indieweb #yesterweb #retroweb

That should work. The microformats1 hReview property details specified "fixed decimal point (one decimal point of precision)," which should carry over for backward compatibility: https://microformats.org/wiki/hreview#Property_details
