💛 Webring Wednesday #18 💛 | The Fanfiction Webring

The Fanfiction Webring is a love letter to indie fic writers and personal archives, offering a space for creators who still maintain their own little corners of the internet. If your site is home to fanfic and not hosted on a giant platform or algorithm-driven archive, you’re exactly who this ring was made for. It’s a place where fans can find each other, share their stories, and enjoy the freedom of self-hosting without all the clutter of modern fandom spaces.

What’s great is how open and flexible the requirements are—as long as your site currently features fanfiction, you’re welcome. Whether you’re posting epic sagas, drabbles, or genre-blending crossovers, the webring respects your creative autonomy and isn’t here to censor or curate your content. It’s about reclaiming the joy of fandom and connecting with others who still believe in building a little world of their own on the web.

💛 Webring Wednesday #21 💛 | Game Dev Webring

The Gamedev Webring is a pixel-perfect gathering of indie game developers and creative coders carving out their own paths online. If you make games or anything game-adjacent, you’re invited to join this ring and link up with others doing the same. Whether you build narrative adventures, cozy simulators, strange experiments, or retro arcade experiences, this is the spot to share your world with others who get it.

The webring allows small creators to support each other, share progress, and build visibility in a way that feels organic and community-driven. It’s not about followers or marketing, just creative folks making cool stuff.

💛 Webring Wednesday #22 💛 | The Book Ring

The Book Ring is a cozy, bookish webring for readers, writers, and literary dreamers. Each member site is a unique window into someone’s personal library; be it filled with reviews, writing projects, fanfiction, or musings on favorite genres. It’s like getting to know people through their shelves, and it’s a warm invitation to wander from one book-loving site to the next.

The ring is part of a larger online library space and includes little snapshots of what members are currently reading, which makes discovering new titles extra fun. Whether you’re a fantasy lover, a historical fiction nerd, or just someone who enjoys curling up with a good story, The Book Ring is a comforting place to connect with fellow bibliophiles.

💛 Webring Wednesday #23 💛 | Gen Lissa Webring

The Gen Lissa Webring is a heartfelt throwback for the web kids who never left. If you cut your teeth on HTML back in the late ’90s or early 2000s, especially with a little help from Lissa Explains It All, then this webring will feel like coming home. It’s made for folks who still run personal websites or blogs today, even after the rest of the world traded in GIFs for grid feeds. It’s a love letter to a simpler, sillier, more sincere internet—and a warm welcome to anyone still building by hand in a prefab world.

More than just nostalgia, Gen Lissa is about continuity. The web may have changed, but the spirit of creativity, exploration, and community lives on in these sites. Being part of this webring means you’re linked with others who remember when webrings were the way to discover cool stuff, and who still believe there’s magic in surfing from one personal page to the next. If you’re still here, still coding, still vibing… this is your generation.

There will be a Galactic Bonus Homebrew Website Club this Saturday. If personal websites interest you, you may yet enjoy this thing! Kind and welcoming folks with banter, writing, learning, wittiness. An #IndieWeb thing. #websites https://events.indieweb.org/2025/07/galactic-bonus-homebrew-website-club-CcB5EJ94g2ZO

"This exercise got me thinking about the ways we attempt to be present and to feel the presence of others in online spaces. I often find myself turning to the Internet when I feel most alone, seeking ways to feel connected to others; to feel seen by others."

Rewriting a bunch of my old Micropub code for the web today. Long overdue, and needed to keep adding features.
#indieweb mastodon.social/tags/indieweb

Oh, I say, splendid! This just came in today. The same day I pre-ordered @timbl "This is for everyone"...

What a nice feeling to see articles printed on paper again! I'm very much looking forward to read it on the beach in Italy, and then reread it again at home and find grains of sand stuck all over its pages...

Thank you @xandra, greetings from Switzerland and all the very best for your future editions! I will sign up as a regular member after the Summer pause. 🏖️

@SteveDuncan I use https://www.jwz.org/hacks/#:~:text=WordPress%20blog%20on%20Mastodon a plugin to backfill replies to links I've shared in Mastodon and it works well for my purposes. I have thought about using https://fed.brid.gy Bridgy Fed for interactivity but I'm not super excited about it. Some folks do. As far as the readership - I follow some Fediverse folks using the RSS feed for them. This is an area of lots of activity. You might be interested in the ongoing #IndieWeb dev channel chat.

#11tyCMS is shaping up reallll good 👀 .

We now have the functional site info "pill" complete with favicon.

You'll also notice the build and publish buttons at the bottom too... The build button works beautifully, but the publish one, not yet.

Publishing is gonna take a fair amount of work, so I'm leaving that til later in the development cycle. But this is shaping up very quickly indeed. #11ty #IndieWeb

Useful report from the Social Web Foundation after a privacy forum in Norway. From the first bullet point of next actions:

Create standard metadata fields within ActivityPub to indicate content visibility, consent preferences, and sharing restrictions across servers.

There is a tension in the fediverse between consent and the open web. It’s difficult to balance both ideals without over-complicating everything. Look at how confusing private mentions in Mastodon are.

#writers, #blog aficionados, #web enjoyers, #website browsers: lend me your ears! i need help with a big push to get the word out about #writing for GOOD INTERNET magazine's autumn issue! a digital AND physical magazine that ships all over the world, run & contributed to by volunteers! (‼️)

in case you're unaware, GOOD INTERNET covers a lot of different aspects of the #SmallWeb: unplugging from the corporate web, fighting #enshittification, migrating from data-harvesting corpo social media, creating your own personal website, using code and website-building as an art form, federation, and creating websites for fun. the aim is to be approachable for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned #indieweb travelers!

you don't have to be a professional #webdev or a #coding smartypants to write about all the good things happening on "this side" of the web. the idea here is to spread the word about and share thoughts, independent web projects, services, methods, sites, meet-ups, and celebrate the non-corporate web together while making it easier for us to partake and unplug from #bigtech.

📏 looking for 1,000- to 4,000-word articles aimed at website owners and hobbyists, digital (and traditional) #artists, #internet culture enthusiasts, #technology nerds, #socialmedia expatriates, & anyone who wants to unplug from the corporate-owned #web.

⏲️ the deadline is AUGUST 22, 2025 ⏲️

Maybe we should go back to using plain text everywhere over http...

The point I'm making is that there's all these "initiatives", like those I've listed above, all trying to compete for tjhe 0.0.1% of people who might think the same, but there's no cohesion to any of it.

Which I think is the thing which is missing...
