[chrisaldrich] What is link in bio?
#
Loqi link in bio is a common expression on silos like Instagram which disallow linking from posts, directing viewers to the respective social media profile which usually allows at least one link, increasingly used to link to a link-in-bio service providing a flat list of links at a short vanity path https://indieweb.org/link_in_bio
#
[chrisaldrich] This looks like the link in bio pattern, but for books: https://boook.link/ Example: https://boook.link/9780321719911

frittro Hi, I am installing #yunohost in 2022, with a lot of selfhosted apps including Wordpress, NextCloud, etc. I'm interested in joining the IndieWeb community.

GWG frittro: How can we help?

#
frittro @GWG, I guess I'm still trying to understand the nature of IndieWebCamp. I see a login link on the https://indieweb.org/ page. Is that just for maintainers of the site, or is that for regular Joe's like me? I can't see a register link, so I assume it is the former, not the latter, right?
#
gRegor indieweb.org is a wiki that anyone in the community can edit. There isn't registration, but you can sign in with your domain.
#
gRegor What is web sign in?
#
gRegor Loqi?
#
aaronpk What is web sign-in?
#
Loqi Web sign-in is signing in to websites using your personal web address (without having to use your e-mail address) https://indieweb.org/Web_sign-in
#
frittro Ah, that makes sense, thanks @gRegor. I have had an initial play with #yunohost during 2021, and now have taken down that site to begin again in earnest in 2022. I have a registered domain name, for for now there is no site behind it, until I rebuild it in a few days time.
#
frittro I plan to selfhost at home on a Raspberry Pi 4B SBC.

petermolnar question: when one start to POSSE to a new silo, does it make sense to backfill the silo (if it's possible to date, etc correctly)?
#
GWG petermolnar: I think so, but just my opinion
Darius_Dunlap[d], schmudde and _inky joined the channel
#
Zegnat petermolnar: I would approach that as an audience question. Do you think the new silos home audience is likely to check your site out for more content or not?
#
GWG It is also a question of what the content is

petermolnar I guess it make sense for photos; it probably wouldn't make sense for obscure linux tutorial from 2010.
