I've finally published my new personal website after 3 months of coding! I wanted to make my happy / safe space on the web, where my interests, personality, and queerness could be expressed with no bounds.

I'm extremely proud of it and would love it if you checked it out on: https://dorianbay.neocities.org/

Wie fange ich an?

A few semesters ago, I built this web index together with a friend. It gathers German initiatives for social engagement and includes filter options for various topics, locations and modes of engagement. It's the first website I made :)

Hold on tight! 🚀

We're about to update the Custom CSS to bring indieweb.social the latest Bird UI update and sort out the Mastodon 4.4 gremlins.

#IndieWeb #AdminUpdate

Notes: RSS is (not) dead (yet)

🚀 PeerTube 7.2.1 is out — and we’re in it.

The latest release of #PeerTube includes a small but important fix… contributed by our team 🛠️

We had patched it on our own instance first, then sent it upstream right away, just like we aim to do with every project behind our services.

Because using open-source is great.
Contributing back is better.

My website, kevingimbel.de, is now running on Kirby 5.0.1!

If something breaks please let me know, I think all is working well. :)

Hi everyone, we are aware of issues with Bird UI on indieweb.social since the latest Mastodon update.

We are looking into it!

#MastoAdmin #IndieWeb #BirdUI #Mastodon #MastoUpdate

The Internet is international. The Web is short for World Wide Web. It is perhaps only fitting that this Summer I bring Good Internet issue 1 with me on a mini-european tour...

Let's begin its journey this morning in my hometown of Fribourg, in Switzerland. Other photos will follow in the comments.

❤️ Monday Memes #16 ❤️

You don’t have to stay. You don’t have to believe big tech when they tell you other alternatives aren’t worth you time or energy. That’s what they want you to believe, so they can keep profiting off of you. You might say “but everyone is still on those platforms”. You don’t have to be a follower and wait for someone else to lead you to better alternatives. You have the power to be your own leader, step outside of the box big tech has confined you to – confined us all to for so long while they stripped away our online creativity, our privacy, our freedom. The current corporate state of the web doesn’t have to be the future. You are not powerless because you are “only one person”. You are powerful because you are one person that can be brave enough to try something different from the status quo, and that in itself can create incredible change. It only takes one person to start a ripple. You can be the one to inspire others who were not brave enough to step outside of the box first. ♥ If you’ve been looking for a sign, this is your sign.

Happy Monday!

đź’› Webring Wednesday #15 đź’› | Carnivorous Plant Web Ring

The Carnivorous Plant Web Ring is a clever little ecosystem of its own; one that links together sites dedicated to the weird and wonderful world of bug-eating plants. Organized by the International Carnivorous Plant Society, this webring makes it easier than ever to browse between enthusiasts, researchers, collectors, and growers who all share a passion for Venus flytraps, pitcher plants, sundews, and more. It’s a wild ride through nature’s oddities, where each click might bring you to a new grow journal, care guide, or drool-worthy plant collection.

This isn’t just a handy directory, it’s a thriving digital terrarium. Whether you’re a curious newcomer wondering how to keep a flytrap alive or a seasoned cultivator with an indoor jungle of Nepenthes, the web ring encourages discovery, learning, and connection with fellow carnivorous plant enthusiasts.
