Heya, just wanted to introduce my personal blog to the #Fediverse and #IndieWeb at large... Feedback is encouraged & much appreciated plus you can comment right from your #Mastodon client. https://gregsplace.net
@pfefferle @pfefferle.wordpress.com Hello too! 👋
Also congrats Matthias, you've single-handedly brought the fediverse to millions, I hope you appreciate that, because I sure as heck do!
The #indieweb and #fediverse are so lucky to have you ❤️
only 24 hours and we have so many residency applications for https://marigold.town ! i am so excited, y'all—the enthusiasm is so motivating!
finishing up the tutorial and early adoption form. emails to early adopters should be going out by tuesday at the latest!
onward!
@marsedit I expect if it were going to happen it would have happened by now, but I’d love for MarsEdit to support #Micropub.
I'm currently using @paulrobertlloyd's IndieKit to expose a Micropub endpoint for my blog, and would love a polished Mac app to publish to it.
Your attention is finite resource. You must decide how to spend your attention wisely. Media, both valuable and distracting, is increasingly plentiful and easily accessible. Certain technologies empower users to make these choices, and certain technologies are designed to inhibit the users’ agency, to varying degrees, either through restricting certain actions or prodding the user, covertly or overtly, to act in a certain way.
Respect your attention, respect your autonomy. Put yourself back in control of how you spend your time and attention. Opt out of the attention economy.
Rely on self-curation over algorithmic curation. Curating your own content feed is the only way to ensure you only see what you want to see, and avoid the excessively distracting and provocative.
Avoid apps and websites with infinite scroll. Infinite scroll is a trick to induce FOMO by pretending that there is always more attention-worthy media out there; however, there is only so much media that is relevant and attention worthy to any individual person.
Use attention respecting reading and curation apps. Reading apps that will always hold onto unread content to let you access content whenever you decide.
Don’t use technology that encourages surface level reaction. Tapping or clicking a button isn’t a meaningful interaction. Writing a response or reply is. Don’t mistake interaction with connection.

We are finishing up our work on our fork wiki! We know a lot of you really want to see refreshed and hopefully better Minecraft Wiki, we are getting really close to it now.
Meanwhile, give Indie Wiki Buddy a try: https://getindie.wiki/, it's a browser extension giving independent wikis more visibility by informing you when visiting their unfriendly equivalent.
If you are confused, see our previous post on what a fork is: https://wikis.world/@MinecraftWikiEN/110810862033280907
Finally, another installment in my much self-anticipated series of maintaining a custom LMS. Not much technical details yet, mostly just documenting the emotional turmoil that the past few weeks have been.
at least the indieweb has humans in it

so excited to announce my webhosting project! part webhost, part collaborative project, part visual search engine of the personal web.
marigold town is now taking residency applications, especially those interested in becoming early adopters: https://marigold.town/
And......IT'S UP!!!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This must have taken a few days, it felt like I was supposed to do more than I actually needed to, but I'm really glad that the process of making this was so clean, and not messy like before.
Go to the website link in my profile to check this thingy out!!!!!!!!!! 😆😆😆😆😆
What drives me bonkers is that I did find a video walkthrough of installing Brid.gy on wordpress.com and even directed someone to it. I should've saved that link, but I thought I could find it again, but nooooah. #Indieweb wiki is a maze lol.
Still haven't gotten past this drama. Honestly, I think I'm just hungry for classic #wuxia and there's so little of them these days.
Also, I'm reposting this because I'm testing Brid.gy. Somehow I've set it up incorrectly and I can't for the life of me figure out how. However, apparently if I publish a post via Brid.gy, the comments will appear beneath the blog post. Mysterious.
Mysteriously, Brid.gy is now backfeeding comments to my blog post. Maybe it just takes time or something. Huh. Yet, when I try to manually fetch webmentions, it says that it failed. We desperately need proper documentation for this lol.
I need to add a blog roll to my blog, I think. Part of the whole vibe of returning to self managing web presence, both to show what/who my thoughts are in conversation with and as a resource for myself.
Anyone have a nice format they’ve seen lately? I’m using #11ty to generate a static site, so I have a lot of flexibility. I’m looking for aesthetic/design suggestions. I can sort out the code.
Hmm this could be a potentially useful guide for brid.gy. Whatever it is, maybe I need to flex my #TechnicalWriting skills by writing a dumb-as-a-rock guide for wordpress.com users, because that's what they need. I find tonnes of guides for static websites and WP.org, but not many for wp.com. The users for the latter are really not coders, so a guide would be very important.
