Do people still use @microformats? There's a blog post from last year but the wiki is full of broken links, and also the hcard generator includes AIM name :D.

(Just poking around the #IndieWeb /wiki for the first time as I'm working on my digital garden..)

Do share a link to your digital garden if it’s public. I love to see what others are doing with respect to design and use. We need to get around to holding a Gardens & Streams II camp session(s) to keep iterating on the idea. Do add yourself to the interest list if you like.

I know there are many still actively using Microformats. Sometimes the wiki can have older examples and there’s always linkrot. On hCard (microformats v1), you’re probably better off looking at the newer h-card (v2) specification and examples. In skimming it tonight I notice that Mastodon isn’t listed on the page though they support it. My own site parses them to pull in author names, URLs, and avatars in the reply contexts on my posts.

I recently found good in testing and fixing an h-card I set up on one of my wikis/digital gardens.
