Here in the fedi the hashtags #indieWeb #smallWeb #personalWebsite are a good starting point.
Then theres the website directory on neocities.org. There are other hosting services like that that also have website directories, e.g. nekocweb.org.
The 32-Bit Café is a good rescource one, too. I'm a member the forum and it's a wonderful community there. They also have a Discord server, but I am not using that, so I can't say anything about it.
Then there are newsletters and e-zines, like Srolls from @shellsharks@malici.ous.computer, or ajazz's From the Superhighway, or Own your Web by @matthiasott@mastodon.social that are good entrypoints as well.
Lots of members and voices from the community are also in the fedi. You'll find them as soon as you explore those hashtags above.
And then it's all surfing form one to the other site from there. You'll be amazed about what you're going to find! Have fun!
I did some fiddling around with my website and wrote about it.

A great little utility app for your Mac that you didn’t know you needed.
What's the downside to #selfhosting all the things?

Part II of a write up of a talk I gave on the whys and hows of this blog. Covers the basics of using the SSG #Hugo and sharing posts around on social media.

Officially launching v1.0 of https://stygiantech.dev today!
Previously this was just a basic landing page, but now it’s got a lot more content to check out!

Just a few minutes in to arriving at Fediverse House and already it was super valuable. There is really nothing like meeting people face to face. It’s an exciting time for the open web and you can feel it in hearing what people are working on and thinking about.
Are there any #indieweb folks in the Columbus, Ohio area?
Big win: conned my health data tech person spouse into helping me get a new #11ty site/blog up and running when they have never done any kind of web building
Now I have to make it cute, learn how it works, write something, and get RSS on this blog. Hanging out in the #32bitcafe forum for more help and understanding. Ppl are so generous.
I want more barely tech literate weirdos like me on the #indieweb . It turns out ppl want to help us figure it out
Published new blog entry on my site: https://www.meeknot.es/p/be-daring/
This one is more on the personal side instead of tech so be warned.
What I absolutely adore about the indie/ personal/ small web: Everybody's approach is very different. There are super modern looking websites and there are the ones who seem to come straight out of the 1990's/ early 2000's. There are ones that are specially made to work on the oldest computers. There are ones with and ones without Java Script. Ones made by pro web devs and ones made my people who are just starting to learn the basics. There are people who've been there from the beginning and those who are very new. And everything in between. People of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life.
In visiting personal websites you are seeing and experiencing the diversity of the world. And it's glorious!

I've just tweaked my main RSS feed to incorporate both articles and micro posts... apologies if doing that flooded your feedreader or timeline like it did mine. #indieweb
