It honestly is infinitely all kinds of sad that I syndicate my blog posts to Facebook, no external link, and everyone eats it up, but if I send someone a link to my website via SMS or something, I get, "Do you publish these on Facebook? Can I just read you on Facebook or Substack? I don't get why you made your own website. Strange."

I get it that my layout isn't for everybody but that's why I don't block reader mode. That's why I have full text RSS. I give *you* the choice but this only seems to alien people *more* not less.

#Substack #IndieWeb

It's refreshing to see how much better Bluesky and Mastodon work with an #indieweb syndication approach

When I've tried the same thing with Twitter in the past posts would be buried for including external links or the account would be shut down entirely

I'm so unbelievably addicted to the #Indieweb / #smallweb.

To feed my addiction, I have found yet another search machine that finds non-commercial sites. Send help! https://marginalia-search.com/explore

Hi :) If you see this, on #bluesky or #mastodon, please react, its a #webmention test from my blog !

📢 Webmentions made easy

New article about my webmentions library.

You know that I love Webmentions, and I see them as the ideal future for truly decentralized peer-to-peer federation (or at least an important building block for it).

However, even though the #W3C recommendation has been around for nearly a decade, there aren’t many mainstream implementations out there, besides a few personal blog platforms and a Wordpress plugin.

With this library I have tried to lower the entry barrier to integrating #Webmentions on your website, so you can easily send and receive comments from/to other websites by simply publishing a page with a link to them - in line with the POSSE principle.

If you use FastAPI or Flask on Python, you serve your mentionable pages as static files and you want to store mentions on a SQLAlchemy backend, the integration takes just a couple of lines of code.

And more customized integrations can be achieved by simply extending some of the basic objects.

More bindings (for JavaScript/TypeScript and Go first) are on the backlog. The Go binding in particular would allow me to implement this also in #Writefreely - I’d love to make it compatible both with ActivityPub and Webmention, so that interactions can happen with platforms supporting either of the specification.

And, who knows, one day it’d be nice to have it on Mastodon too. Imagine a future where you write a post about a blog article on your Mastodon profile, and it gets automatically rendered in the comment section of that website…

For now my personal blogging platform madblog (which powers both my personal blog and the Platypush blog) is the reference implementation for this, and you can already see some self-mentions in the wild in some of my old articles.

I ❤️ homemade websites.

All the differences and nuances thanks to individual preferences and decisions.

Visual and technical diversity.

Here is also where we can tell where web development really stands, how much it has evolved.

The homemade part of the Web is—the Beautiful Web.

Ah, my first post. First posts are always intimidating, but here's my stab at a quick #introduction

I'm not new to Mastodon, though it's been a while. I set this account up in tandem with a new blog project that you can find at https://teaand.ink

I'm a big believer in the #indieweb ethos. I'm not a coder but I do dabble with tech. I also love to write, which is why I set up the new blog.

Looking forward to settling in on indieweb.social, hope to find lots of like-minded people!

Talking about the new post types, here's the first #photolog, sharing the first analogue photos i've ever taken.

I added Octothorpes to my blog and I think they're pretty neat.

Manual ads vs auto ads — which setup actually works better in 2026?

For many publishers, ad performance isn’t about “one size fits all.”
Manual placements offer control, while auto ads focus on automation and scale.

I broke down how both perform in real situations and what works best for smaller websites and blogs.
