Guest7772 Hi everyone, sorry for the bothering, I tried IndieWeb before, but failed with it, because I'm tired of constantly configuring CMS, which good way to run selfhosted tumble-blog now?

[fluffy] IndieWeb isn’t any one platform, there’s a bunch of things you can try for hosting your site. micro.blog is a pretty decent way to get started.
#
[fluffy] Tumblr is also an okay option if you don’t care so much about things like webmention or IndieAuth.
#
[fluffy] Hosted wordpress is also an okay way to go.
#
[fluffy] What platforms have you tried in the past?
#
Guest7772 micro.blog seem to be cool, but does it have self-hosted version? My main preference is to own data locally
#
Guest7772 WordPress and Known, but never used it on constant basis
#
[fluffy] I don’t know of a self-hosted equivalent to micro.blog, sorry. But if you’re going for self-hosting and don’t want to spend a lot of time on configuring the CMS, wordpress with the indieweb plugin seems like an okay option. You could ask around in #indieweb-wordpress about that.
#
[fluffy] Or you could go oldschool and use Movable Type :)
#
[fluffy] Really there’s a lot of options out there and it depends on what sort of workflow you’d be comfortable with. Personally I use Publ but it’s definitely on the fiddlier side to get set up and has a fairly high admin tax.

Guest7772 Thank you, can you recommend frontend UI for creating new posts on own site, such as Twitter and other social sites? I remembered P2 theme, but it's in rework stage and is currently only supported on WordPress.com, I think Known is a good option, but I prefer selfhosted WP more and I encountered "outdated" bugs in PHP 8 with Known, maybe, I need to update the project code, but my programming style is far from good
#
Guest7772 *like on Tw
#
[tantek] Guest7772, there are a bunch of folks here using selfhosted WP so you're in good company. There tends to be more discussion of best practices for that in the #indieweb-wordpress

@jack the days of usenet, irc, the web...even email (w PGP)...were amazing. centralizing discovery and identity into corporations really damaged the internet. I realize I'm partially to blame, and regret it. (twitter.com/_/status/1510314535671922689)
