Currently getting my head round webfinger, webmention, indielogin, and the like: a mix of standards, experiments, and some decent results.

When does it make sense to use webfinger link relations vs link tags with rel(ationship) attributes in the <head> section of a web page? Are these equivalent features that just happen to have grown up in parallel or is there some rationale delineating the two?

Any clarifying articles greatly appreciated, as are boosts.

Who knew digital gardening could spark so many ideas! I'm working towards a plan finally, and will get to crafting this week.

Worked up my initial concepts, and I think I’ll like the end results!

"So, if you liked Movie 1 and want more - sure, this series gets my thumbs up (and therefore rating). But if the Movie 2 floored you but left hungry, don’t expect this series to come anywhere that level of ambition nor quality."

@jbaty Yeah, they basically are. And they don't even use standard meta tags for their link preview, as I was telling @cory yesterday.

This is where I disagree with the #IndieWeb approach. The open web should not cater to social media; it was here first. Social media should be catering to the open web.

Learn how to search the 'Net w/o the mainstream engines.

Some of the best known alternatives are either getting bad, too (DuckDuckGo is pushing its own AI "solution"), others are "meta-search engines", which run your query thru Google, Bing, etc for you ... which is great for privacy but doesn't do much to improve the search quality.

Look at the various #SearXNG instances (https://searx.space/ ) ... those are meta-search services, but they hit a *lot* of primary engines.

Look for new engines, new projects, alternative solutions.

The #IndieWeb used to have a search engine https://indieweb.org/search ... looks like it might be dead now? But check it out anyway.

Check out https://wiby.me , an alternate search engine specifically for those old, alt, and independent web sites that the main engines are burying.

Search for search.

https://stract.com/ is a beta project, one-person show running on a server in the guy's basement, but it has promise.

https://clew.se is a *very* beta service, made by a kid who just graduated college last week (congrats @amin ! ), he is also trying to set up an algorithm that prefers alternate, home-made "real-people" websites.

There are many alternatives out there ... most are not "ready for prime time" and it's gonna be a learning curve to adjust.

Don't just use 'em. Promote 'em. Help them if you can. Many need non-tech help with documentation and translations and etc.

Thanks @jefklak for creating Go Jammin'! I have just used it to set up webmentions to my home page. Easy to use and well documented. Hats off! 👏

It’s fine to have multiple social web protocols, because this is a good time to experiment and see what sticks. But there’s a limit, and I’m drawing the line at Farcaster. ActivityPub, AT Protocol, and Nostr each provide unique strengths. We do not need a blockchain-based additional platform.

I use https://fed.brid.gy/ and webmentions to allow people to follow me from the fediverse. To send webmentions I use a netlify build plugin but you could use something like https://webmention.app/

@nigel there's a tool for checking the various elements of your site https://indiewebify.me/ but I don't know about enabling a site. Maybe a certain template for the tool you are using to build your site? Most of it is all about microformats which is just html elements. #indieweb

Dear #indieweb, what are the good #selfhosted tools to #fediverse enable static sites? I've found https://fedipage.com/ but that seems tied to a lot of SaaS out of the box. I basically want posting of articles, and display of fediverse replies.

To follow through on my pledge to do more of my #internet reading on the #indieweb, I've been visiting random blogs using this site and adding any interesting ones to an #RSS feed.

My intention is to browse this feed much the same way I would the news -call it a self-care practice. I want to spend more time in reflection and less in panic. I also want to get ideas for, perhaps, my own blog someday.

Doing my bit for the ol' #IndieWeb today by updating joegaffey.com and starting to claw back or at least better catalogue some of the content that I've posted across the various Web 2.0 services over the years.
