“Spaces like the Fediverse, personal blogs, and the indie web are like the unkempt public parks of the internet’s town square-turned-metropolis. They are places where we should be careful to not let the billboards outgrow the trees.

But if we feel we are doing good, honest things, we shouldn’t fear speaking a little louder.”

Seen some discussions about self-promotion across the #SmallWeb / #indieweb recently. Here’s my thoughts:

I'm super grateful to have been featured in Manuel Moreale's People and Blogs. Give it a read if you feel so inclined https://manuelmoreale.com/pb-cory-dransfeldt #IndieWeb #SmallWeb

Some #followfriday #infosec / #cybersecurity recommendations…

- @screaminggoat : 🚨 “Not Simon” 😉 has moved. Re-follow, or start following!

- @wfh

- This month, me and a lot of other #indieweb bloggers are posting daily content on our respective sites for #weblogpomo2024. Follow this hashtag or follow @Pomo to see lots of cool stuff!

- @snarfed.org has gone live with the #bluesky bridge. If for whatever reason you wanted to follow my #bsky account you could do so here @shellsharks.com

Wenn ich mein Blog neu aufstellen wollen würde. Weil WordPress eigentlich schon seit Jahren zu bloated ist. Ich also ein schlankes Blogsystem suche, bei dem ich aber selbst nicht so viel rumfrickeln muss (aber rumfrickeln kann, wenn ich Lust habe). Und das auf einem Standard-Shared-Hosting läuft. Und sich am besten noch gut ins #Indieweb integriert. Welches Blogsystem würdet ihr empfehlen?

@bencc Awesome! If you’re keen on getting into the MicroPub part of #IndieWeb then I highly recommend https://getindiekit.com/, it works out of the box with Hugo!

(I just spent a day getting mine to cross-build to Gemini, and have tools for auto-deploy to IPFS with GitHub actions, and import from Omnivore, plus Instagram, Facebook, Goodreads & Twitter archives — all MIT licensed, albeit “for myself” quality 😅 Shout if that’s interesting!)

I really liked Sara's approach to #IndieWeb Carnival and diving deep into what creativity actually is and how we can find it in almost anything we do in life.

In this submission for #IndieWeb Carnival, Chris has a very nice approach to the topic: creativity is iterative and different stages require different environments.

Loved it!

This is utterly brilliant, like a 25th anniversary update to the rants in Fight Club. #indieweb

This is a great addition to the movement towards digital autonomy / #indieweb
But rather than a website you have to sign up to, wouldn't it be great to add this as a search option to search engines?

Hello Bluesky! ✌️ Heard of Now pages? Well my Now page is now, now, not then any longer. Been meaning to check that off the ol' to-do list for a long time! 😅 Howdy springtime 2024! 🌸

I've seen a large amount of #Selfhosting and #IndieWeb content recently, which I will always support! But if you're considering stepping into this space, please make sure you don't accidentally let the same central entities who you're trying to divest from vacuum up your newly hosted data as well. Many won't even respect a robots.txt file, so I recommend researching blockers like the Nginx Ultimate Bad Bot Blocker as soon as possible.

Boosts for visibility appreciated!

Havaitsin, että kun pistin omat sivut vuosien jälkeen pystyyn, niin niiden viilailusta on tullut oma pieni harrastus. Se on vähän kuin oma digitaalinen palsta Internetin siirtolapuutarhassa. Se ei haittaa ettei niitä kukaan lue tai näe. Siinä uusien kukkien istuttamisessa ja rikkaruohojen kitkemisessä on oma viehätyksensä ihan sellaisenaan ☺️

After my recent purchase of a dumb flip phone, I was inspired to make a cipher based on texting on a 10-key keyboard. Instead, though, I came up with a new encoding method. Give it a try on my site!

"We can have a different web".

A beautifully written piece by @molly0xfff, bemoaning the walled gardens of today's web, but pointing out that the web we remember is still there waiting for us to reclaim it.

Maybe the real web 3.0 should be more like web 1.0. #IndieWeb

Another question for #WebDev #indieweb and #Mastodon crew about the Mastodon API:

Does anyone have an example they can share for how to add media (images) to a post programmatically (preferably with bash/shell scripts) in the Mastodon API? The official documentation looked more like JS and complicated, I'd like to see a simpler script.

Thanks!
