IndieWeb

The IndieWeb is a community of independent & personal websites connected by simple standards, based on the principles of: owning your domain & using it as your primary identity, publishing on your own site (optionally syndicating elsewhere), and owning your data.

I have been exploring ways to increase connectivity and overall audience for the fediverse, and one way I have been considering is developing ways of linking fediverse accounts to the indieweb.

The way I am picturing this would work would require an identity layer that creates an umbrella identity for fediverse accounts, and links them to an indieweb url as a user's primary identity. This could be done using a DID system that has a series of methods that links these accounts to the site as the overarching identity. This could facilitate the development of new platforms that serve as a "universal translator" across fediverse accounts, bluesky accounts, etc, while also pointing to a users website as their primary profile, which could serve as everything from personal Myspace style websites to band/artist/business websites/portfolios. This could be a way for users to seamlessly browse between the indieweb and the fediverse, and could allow for easy syndication of content across platforms, in a more comprehensive way than current tools allow.

Could this work, and what sorts of issues might it present in terms of presenting a coherent link between platforms?

It was time for a native Mentions United Provider Plugin for #GitHub, because the old chain Site → GitHub → brid.gy → webmention.io → Site seems to be broken...

Who on #Fediverse self-host #Indieweb static website with #ActivityPub #ActivityStream , with 3rd party webhook endpoint gateway, and use desktop client\script to send json REST POST replies in to remote #ActivityPub #ActivityStream INBOX ?

I would like to see & hear details, examples about such setups.

Neoskitties is in the style of r/pokemedia: posting what people would have on their equivalent to neocities in the Pokémon universe.

Rob is a web industry veteran and his ideas are extremely relevant for the days we live in today. We need a refocus, and a sense of community in the design / web development world.

I dream of a web that fosters healthy conversations, together with personal and intellectual growth. The world is diverse and fascinating, and we can be information explorers together.

After I recently dived into the Lemmy world and found out which API route I needed for a Lemmy integration as a Mentions United Provider Plugin, the rest was no longer particularly difficult, because the data is very heavy due to many redundancies, but easy to process. So my new plugin is ready and running on this blog to display Lemmy interactions …

Since I wasn't satisfied with the way syndicated interactions were displayed on my blog, I built something myself with #javascript. What do you think of the idea and implementation?

I recently read Has the IndieWeb Become Irrelevant from starbreaker.org. The post does a great job linking to and summarizing a spate of posts that I will call “people being mad at the IndieWeb”, while also being one of these posts. These posts accuse “the IndieWeb” of being elitist, exclusionary, overengineered, complicit, and unnecessary, among many other things. There are some common threads I noticed among these posts: None of them mention micro.
