@flancian@social.coop I don’t think I’ve tried directly mentioning someone on [[Mastodon]] from my personal site before. Let’s see if it works?! Also a quick test to see if my follow of @agora@botsin.space worked. #FotL #IndieWeb

On the first anniversary of launching my serialized book, I reflect on what I've learned — including the pros and cons of my pivot from Substack newsletter to indie website.
IndieWebCamp San Diego 2023-12-17
My goal for the day 2 at camp is to get my site set up so that I can type a post and with a quick photo send it to my website as a post there. As a reach goal, I’d also like to get alt-text working as well for accessibility. I’m hoping I can leverage some of my prior work on posting handwritten posts to get this all done. #IndieWeb #FTW
Planning has begun for a potential in-person IndieWebCamp in San Diego, CA in December. Interested in attending? Can you help out? Register your interest now and save some dates. #IndieWeb
It’s a very autumnal IndieWebCamp in Nuremberg this weekend. Red, orange and yellow leaves cut out to resemble the IndieWebCamp logo.
Zinzy Waleson Geene (Zinzy Waleson Geene)I’m quite excited at the prospect of an impromptu, Kimberly Hirsch-is-in-the-Netherlands-inspired IndieWeb meet-up.
A new year brings new calls for a return to personal blogging as an antidote to the toxic and extractive systems of social media.

IndieWeb, blogging, fountain pens?!? I almost hate to mention it for the rabbit hole it may become, but you’ll get a bit of all three here: https://micro.blog/discover/pens. Happy New Year!

Ryan Randall (hcommons.social)Slowly customizing my site layout enough to get it to validate h-entry info according to this nifty tool: https://indiewebify.me Wow, do I teach myself best by exploring other examples. #blogging #indieWeb
@ryanrandall @natalie I’m seeing more HCommons folx looking at #IndieWeb, so I’ll mention that I’ve got several IndieWeb friendly sites including on #WordPress as does @KFitz, who I think has also been experimenting with static sites lately. If you need support, there’s a great and helpful community you’ll find at https://chat.indieweb.org for all your questions. You might find some useful tidbits and examples at https://indieweb.org/Indieweb_for_Education as well.
kimonostereo (micro.blog)What website(s) are you using if you blog about movies / TV shows and want to link to general info about them? Is it still IMDB, or is there something better?
@kimonostereo If it helps, there’s lots of prior art and ideas here: https://indieweb.org/watch.
On #FeedReaderFriday I’m adding some of my favorite Mastodon accounts to my microsub account on Aperture so I can easily read and follow them in the social readers I use like Monocle. To me this is the purest form of social media interaction. #IndieWeb
This #FeedReaderFriday, I’m scrolling through entries on https://bringback.blog/ to find new bloggers to follow in 2023. Want to join in with your own blog? Ben has some good material here: https://getblogging.org/
After a bit of experimentation and tinkering tonight, it appears that one can use their #WordPress website to create threaded conversations on #Mastodon (and likely other portions of the #Fediverse) using the IndieWeb syndication strategy of POSSE with backfeed of comments using #Webmention and Brid.gy. I’d outlined the process using Twitter in the past, and the same principles seem to work well for Mastodon. #IndieWeb #FTW #FediTips
In addition to following people on Mastodon in your feed reader via #RSS, you can also follow hashtags which appear there. For example, to follow #IndieWeb try: https://mastodon.social/tags/indieweb.rss. #FeedReaderFriday
Keep in mind that the output of these feeds will be instance specific, and the tag feed will only get mentions from your instance and instances yours can “see” (or gets by follows with federation). So if you use a different instance, you may see more or less in your feeds. Because of its size and depth of federation, this makes mastodon.social a good bet for these sorts of subscriptions, but your experience may vary depending on your needs.
