Finding the IndieWeb
Bookmarked Now that we have IndieWeb how are others to find it?.
Blogrolls/links-pages, web directories, and web rings, are among ways to promote the work of other IndieWeb adherents. But you need to be within the IndieWeb realm in the first place, to go on the journey these aggregators will take you. They’re great for their members, but, unfortunately, overwhelming for newcomers
Been thinking about this lately. I don’t know the solution, yet, but I think it starts with normalising a life outside big tech’s walled gardens. People have become accustomed to opening their browsers, typing a certain URL and then just working their way from that.
For the #indieweb to become more mainstream, we have to figure out how to offer up that kind of convenience for the average person who just wants a hit of information of whatever.
Also, topical aggregators that are manually curated and easy to “plug in” to will probably play a big role in this hypothetical future. It, of course, paves the way for a whole host of different set of problems, but none that even registers on the scale of significance compared to relying on BigTech’s algorithms.
