Fully managed website hosting resources.

**whispers** hey #Twitter peeps, guess what? If you get your own website/blog, you won't have to depend on renting social media space anymore. Sure, you can't shoot off piffy one line social media posts, but you will get subscribers and readers. Here's some services to try,

Assume all of the below ban porn. I didn't check.

MicroBlog, https://micro.blog/

The next two are free with some added paid bonuses.

@yosh This is one of the things I like about the #IndieWeb, that it clearly separates authoring, hosting, aggregation, subscribing, reading, mentioning into different composable parts.

Good thing that it’s possible to bridge Mastodon and the IndieWeb.

Now eg clients are not built for open standards but rather a Mastodon specific one, whereas the IndieWeb has #MicroPub and #MicroSub + the ability to advertise where your such servers are similar to how you add email server discoverability to DNS

I'm glad to see that BlueSky supports custom domains! I have zero interest in sitting on a username in the bluesky namespace. Setting it up was roughly the same as pointing your own domain to a hosting provider, and a lot easier than Mastodon/ActivityPub!

Anyone in the #WordPress and/or #indieweb community aware of a plugin that would let me import my Instapaper articles (bonus points if it could grab the highlights/notes) and add them to a “links” page on my blog? I’ve found a couple but they haven’t been updated in a while.

I have created a second RSS feed on my site, specifically for micro content, like the post you're reading right now.
If RSS is your thing, and you'd rather follow me using that, you can do so directly through my site now using the micro content feed:

Today is day 3 of learning how to #code my Neocities #blog 😆😬

I doubled-down on RSS – Eric Bailey

In which Eric says:

Jeremy Keith, you magnificent son of a bitch.

I’ll take it.

Appropriately enough, I read this post in my feed reader.

I’m around halfway through reading @manton book on indie publishing and microblogging. So far I’m really enjoying it and well worth a read if you’re into #Blogging, #IndieWeb and all that jazz.

Blogged: Some notes on moving from Jekyll to either Kirby or WordPress ✍️ Go more indieweb and enjoy a proper CMS. It’s time to move on, but to Kirby or WordPress?

here are over 60 #p2p, #fediverse, and #indieweb-related repos to pique your curiosity and excite your innovation https://github.com/stars/selfagency/lists/fediverse-indieweb-and-p2p

Not sure if I enjoy receiving webmentions so much because it's rare or because I still feel like it's a more genuine way to get in touch and communicate cross-site. I suppose I value it more because it actually takes effort.

Still wish it'd be easier to implement for more people though.

#IndieWeb

This is a great fairly recent post by David Shanske on how to Indiewebify your WordPress site. I've found it very useful as I try to implement these protocols across a few websites of mine.

Wiki spring cleaning, a false Fediverse, and how do you hashtag? It’s your < 10min update on the IndieWeb community!

OK. Time to attempt my first ever personal newsletter email.

I did up a draft at the end of January, but it was just a curated roll up of social posts. And I _do_ want to do that, but ... it was uninspiring. I can do something more interesting, like including some vignettes.

Goal #1 is to create something that can replace Facebook/Insta for family and friends who aren't ready for fedi. Goal #2 is to have something of a public diary.

#IndieWeb

My last four toots were syndicated from my website. Starting to get to grips with this #indieweb thing, though I will admit doing it with a static site generator might be more trouble than it’s worth. http://www.joelotter.com/notes

I will say that #writefreely is a neat #fediverse based writing tool. It's not quite a CMS but a clean writing environment that not only uses #activitypub BUT is #indieweb enabled.

I'm thinking I should build #writersworld on it.

@linux_mclinuxface @msw @kelseyhightower Yeah, plurality should totally be celebrated! One of the things I love about the #indieweb, that it’s an explicit core principle of theirs: https://indieweb.org/plurality

More OSS should be created by such communities, where the community becomes the core, not any particular implementation, and that the community spurs and inspires one another rather than competes
