Seems unlikely that we’ll end up with a single unified social web platform. I like Mastodon’s focus on communities. I like Bluesky’s thinking on distributed moderation. I like the IndieWeb’s principles of ownership. I like Nostr’s private messaging. How will we tie all of this together? Blogs.

I just reached two hundred original posts (excluding boosts and replies) on #Fediverse! Took me six months. I have them all archived on my website https://abnv.me/mb, something which I couldn't do when I was on Twitter. #indieweb

I love fiddling around with my website

@strangetomato tech.lgbt/@strangetomato

@ubergeek I've been going back and forth between the idea of a second Fediverse account on something like #WriteFreely, firing up my own instance of something (maybe #WordPress, it has decent #ActivityPub integrations), or just firing up an #IndieWeb website with blog and microblog capabilities and using https://fed.brid.gy. I did look at implementing AP myself, but it's fiddly and I don't have the time.

@vortex_egg I was gonna use #IndieWeb (https://indieweb.org/Category:PostType) and BibTeX types.

I also have had this damn tab open for ages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Decimal_Classification for creating the directory structure on my storage drives. :blobshrug:​
#indieweb mastodon.social/tags/indieweb
#indieweb uses a set of standards such a microformats and webmentions. With those things in place it can be part of the Fediverse via ActivityPub with a little help from briding services such as Bridgy Fed https://fed.brid.gy/

@jeremiahlee.com (@Jeremiah@alpaca.gold) you’re right that the #IndieWeb is more of a movement. It’s a community based on shared values & principles¹, one of which is plurality², explicitly prioritizing interoperability over any “particular piece of technology”.

As to “subdomains as usernames using #ActivityPub?”, myself and others are using our (sub)domains as usernames, e.g. via the #BridgyFed service³. Mine should be self-evident in the header of this post wherever you’re reading #fediverse posts.

Completely agree that “a link that also works as a mention name is obvious / intuitable”, have been practicing that for a while, and wrote up some notes about how & why:

* https://tantek.com/2023/019/t5/reply-domain-above-address-and-silo

which I should organize into a longer blog post at some point.

@reiver My understanding is that #IndieWeb is more of a movement than a particular piece of technology. Can you point me to an implementation of subdomains as usernames using ActivityPub?
@reiver mastodon.social/@reiver

@Jeremiah

The #IndieWeb people have been using subdomains for usernames for many years.

For my blog's About page, I created a list of A Few of My Favorite Things. I had fun thinking about which personal and professional things I've enjoyed the most, from software to puzzlehunts to backpacking. https://jan.miksovsky.com/about #indieweb

Been thinking a lot about Nostr this week. Finally realized that it resonates in a “worse is better” way. This is a good thing and will help me grok how it fits alongside ActivityPub and Bluesky.

Are there any #indieweb ready Hugo themes? I looked a few years ago, but given the nature of the roll-your-own community there was not much.

Question for #indieweb folks: I remember a discussion about a syndication model that describes one of the ways I handle social media and my own site. It's sort of a selective/curated #pesos.

I don't import *all* my posts, just the ones I feel worth preserving, and those often as first drafts. I'll expand, rework, or otherwise finalize the posts on my website.

I could swear I saw someone come up with a term for this model, but I can't remember what it was!

how do you like it? better than https://pfefferle.dev/indie-wapuu/ ?

thanks @dennis

A scatter plot showing most domains used for fediverse servers I'm connected to were registered around 2022-2023.

A handful of domains were registered between 1998-2008.

@elly I'm not sure what caused the glitch, but it works now - both on Linux and Android.

btw. nice website, I wish we'll see more people in this #indieweb space in the future.

@jack Very #IndieWeb adjacent content in this article. I also like the many links to other resources in it. Thanks for sharing, Jack!
@voidcontext hachyderm.io/@voidcontext

I just moved over from another server (https://fosstodon.org/@voidcontext), so it seems it is #Introduction time.

I am a software engineer since 2006, currently at work I use #Scala, the Typelevel stack and functional programming, but in the past I also did Perl, PHP, JS and some Java, TypeScript, React recently.

Nowadays I really enjoy using #Rustlang in my pet projects.

Within tech I am also interested in #Indieweb, #SelfHosting, #NixOS.

How much do you think it costs to have a website?

I am not only asking about the amount of money but also about the personal information, time, and effort required to have a personal website.
