Flipboard is rolling out the first phase of joining the fediverse:

In this first phase we are partnering with 27 publishers and creators to help them federate their Flipboard accounts and gather feedback. This includes a range of publishers covering global news, tech, music, gaming, travel and science as well as a few content creators like Erin Brockovich and Jefferson Graham.

I tested following one of these accounts in Micro.blog and it’s working pretty well.

@eloquence
Then I'll jump in. BuffaloResearch.com, a portal for local history & genealogy in #Buffalo, NY, is celebrating its 30th birthday this month, curated by yours truly for 27 of those years. No ads.
#IndieWeb

Hey #IndieWeb, have you ever got tired of the people who don't attribute or give credits to using your content?

Well, I was doing a bit of #research on how to fight against the people who uses your #creative work for themselves to earn benefits. And realized it would be useful for our Indieweb community too, as we do need to protect our creative works, from getting #Stolen

Hope this would be useful for your indie journey

📝 New Post: My Year In Beer 2023 🍻

I had to jack this out of the Untappd website. Turned out better than expected.

Used eleventy-plugin-bundle for the custom styles.

A common refrain is that the web is _turning into_ garbage because of LLMs.

But that's not really true. It's just that the garbage is _drowning out_ everything else, especially in search engines that themselves have decided to go into the garbage generation business.

What can we do? We can promote the #IndieWeb right here. Highlight the good, perhaps obscure websites and blogs you come across, especially the ones that aren't loaded with ads & trackers.

The web is still full of awesomeness.

It's been a shockingly long time since I did anything with my website (don't go look— it's embarrassing). Hosting fees are coming up for renewal soon, and I'm starting to think about cost effective ways to serve sites, along with what else I might use a server for...

Anyone have any recommendations for hosts?

heads up for fellow #indieweb kids who have gotten into the habit of putting alt text on posts on Mastodon and want an easy way to copy and paste alt text to their own sites without having to go into the developer console: this rules and is saving my life rn

Super cool. I’d love to have an app that lets me write entries and then have them posted to my website as private posts. Micropub for publishing of course :) #IndieWeb https://toot.cafe/@chartier/111603123372616812

Flipboard on the fediverse: how the company is rebuilding with ActivityPub and Mastodon

Reminder to run your websites through Chrome/ium Lighthouse to find low hanging fruit, especially with performance and accessibility. So many personal sites have unlabelled buttons, images without alt, over-sized images, and [Read me] links

For example, "Read more" links are commonly seen on article excerpts. You should use screenreader-only text to expand on it:

```
<a href>
Read more
<span class="sr-only">
of {{ article.title }}
</span>
</a>
```

@erinc makes sense, thanks for clarifying! I'm also interested to see where Threads is going with activitypub, we live in very interesting times. I hung out with @tantek.com this weekend at the #indieweb hackathon and he said he's got some longer notes coming from the meetings at FB.

Anyone know how to help with #Webmentions?

I have #Bridgy set up and it’s sending based on interactions on #Mastodon. However, nothing is being received by Webmention.io.

I’m lost at what to do next for https://justincox.com/. Any suggestions?

An introduction to indie web

Wanted to have a personal website but couldn’t afford hosting and domain? Never knew how to use basic HTML and CSS?

I compiled a bunch of links that should help you start making your own personal house. Abandon all the linktrees, carrds and social media and hop on the actual web:

Was great to meet everyone at IndieWebCamp San Diego this weekend! Had some productive conversations and learned a lot about what other people are doing. I hope we can meet again soon.

Been having fun tweaking my HTML site on Neocities. Thinking I'll migrate Jason Journals there away from WordPress in 2024.

Just about purged almost all JS from the site, so just HTML and CSS.

It took all day to customize the Ghost theme, but I’m happy to say my website finally passed all the #IndieWeb checks!

Next up (some other day), connecting webmentions to the Fediverse.
