I'm pumped that #blogroll's are back but in the spirit of sharing follow recommendations for folks on the #fediverse, not just the #indieweb, I wanted to introduce the idea of a #fediroll. This is simply your shortlist of accounts you love and would recommend others follow! Here's my starting 10 below (there's many more I'd like to add in the future)
Miniflux has no field to save context on subscriptions. Should I try to contribute that feature to Miniflux? Or should I manually craft a custom OPML file I update from time to time?
It was about time I wrote about my #RSS shenanigans with #FreshRSS and such things. Basically I marked everything as read by mistake and decided to accept it and move on. And add a bunch of new feeds too!
In 2019 I started my blog but knew nothing of the #IndieWeb or #SmallWeb. Thanks in large part to the awesome #Mastodon community I was introduced to these concepts and have been diving in ever since, adding IndieWeb capabilities to my site and exploring the Indie World in its entirety. To help introduce others to the IndieWeb as well as catalog useful/interesting things I encounter I decided to write a post about it.
"The problem then isn’t a lack of blogs and personal sites or the frequency at which new posts get published, but rather the visibility and discoverability of our sites and our posts in the constant noise of social media chatter."
The more I get into the blogging mindset, the less I post on social media. It is really weird, that I gifted so many thoughts of the last over 10 years to a platform owner who made money out of it. That is no more. My blog will stay ad free forever. The only tracking I do is cookie-free and respects the do-not-track-header and self hosted. So I guess @pfefferle and @matthiasott, you were right. Blogging it is.
My #blogroll is missing a few people that I read on a daily basis 🤷♂️
> J.P.’s blog is one of the first I read on a daily basis. He’s so open and genuine that I feel like I’m part of his life, even though we never met and don’t exchange thoughts much, other than on Mastodon. I love getting lost in his posts, watching the beautiful pictures, following the adventures of his cat Truman, and being a quiet distant observer in the life he shares with his husband.
