Creating a Webmentions Server for This Website: https://www.standingpad.org/posts/2026/08/creating-a-webmentions-server-for-this-website/
As several have shared before me:
* own your domain and publish some content on it
That’s the foundation. If you have a personal website on a domain you own and control, you’re on the indieweb or part of the indieweb or however you would like to express a sense of belonging.
Of course there are lots of things you can do to be more indieweb, and that’s very much a choose your own adventure journey.
Maybe you’ll decide to post your content first on your personal site rather than on silos, and only post copies (syndicate) to social media walled gardens.
* https://indieweb.org/POSSE
Maybe you like taking an explicitly principled approach, step-by-step.
* https://indieweb.org/principles
Maybe you’ll decide to entirely quit using specific silos, for any reason, whether you created a replacement with your own site, or switched to a community owned and run solution.
* https://indieweb.org/silo-quits
Maybe you’re a developer and decide to implement various open web standards (formats and protocols) so your indieweb site can interact more with other indieweb sites.
* https://indieweb.org/building-blocks
Maybe you want to join a community of like-minded folks creatively expressing themselves on their personal sites, treating each other respectfully, encouraging each other, and collaborating on building better solutions than sites that require agreeing to long and heavily imbalanced terms of service.
* https://indieweb.org/join
All of these are optional.
Make a personal website on a domain you own, put some content there.
Welcome.

«There is no such thing as full decentralization»
There's always an axis that centralizes: identity, connectivity, discovery, or cost. The useful question isn't "is it decentralized?", it's which of these it sacrificed, and what that costs you the day that point breaks.

I talked the talk.
I did some work on the #backend, and improved the #UX for minimal browsers like #Dillo, #NetSurf and #RetroZilla.
IndieAuth is a federated login protocol for Web sign-in, enabling users to use their own domain to sign in to other sites and services. IndieAuth can be used to implement #OAuth2 login AKA OAuth-based login.
#IndieAuth is built on ideas and technology from existing proven technologies like OAuth and #OpenID but makes it easier for users as well as developers. It decentralizes much of the process so completely separate implementations and services can be used for each part.
