#[grantcodes]Very cool [jamesg483] looks a lot like what I do with todomap.xyz - see https://todomap.xyz/list/VfbgMxoB6OX1uo0fnzEd for an example of an excessive list of restaurants that I want to try. But it's not very indieweb friendly at the moment, apart from supporting embeds.

#[fluffy]1Wellp, Cohost is yet another independent Tumblr-like trying to build things up from first principles. I signed up (to reserve my usual username) and also asked them if they had any plans to support IndieWeb protocols. https://cohost.org
#[fluffy]1Oh, I see this is being discussed in #indieweb-chat
jacky joined the channel
#gRegorI think it's on topic, there was some brief discussion the other day
#[aciccarello]haha, I appreciate this feature from Cohost
#[aciccarello]"text formatting, so we can get rid of both rampant abuse of the Unicode Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block, and complaints about rampant abuse of the Unicode Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block."
#gRegorooh yeah, sure screenreader users will appreciate that
#[schmarty]a lot of stuff in the cohost manifesto, etc, resonates with me. the more i look at the actual site the more it seems like just another silo, though. 😐
#[aciccarello]I don't see how it is materially different than anything else
#aaronpkyeah it seems like an old school social network?
#aaronpkmaybe they would be interested in interop with other sites like micro.blog and anything else that supports webmention?
#[aciccarello]Seems like it would make sense from a network effect perspective. But they also seem serious about moderation so that gets more complicated.
#aaronpkthey're gonna be in for a rough ride if they are trying to be serious about moderation but then also are unhappy with the idea that mastodon instances block each other based on moderation policies
#gRegor[fluffy]1 asked about indieweb interaction or feeds to subscribe on Twitter
#[fluffy]1yeah I asked on both twitter and in their ‘contact us’ form
#[fluffy]1I hope they’re interested in not just being Yet Another Silo but I’m not terribly optimistic. Tumblr-likes feel like a dime a dozen, and most of them seem to come from a perspective of “we know better” without trying to do any sort of interop (see also: Pillowfort)
#[fluffy]1I’m glad the twtxt folk(s) are actually taking IndieWeb seriously.
#[fluffy]1And micro.blog, of course, but that should go without saying.
#[fluffy]1I do feel like there’s a huge underserved market of IndieWeb-first Tumblr-likes, and I’m always seriously tempted to build one. Heck, that’s what Publ started out as.
#[tantek]yeah I think the general approach here is, check out the good example set by micro.blog, and see if you can align & interoperate accordingly!

#IWDiscordGateway<capjamesg> What IndieWeb things is everyone working on?
#gRegorTrying to get my Micropub server back up to speed
#[aciccarello]Getting a micropub server up is my next big thing
#gRegorI've not been able to eat my own booking (indiebookclub) for a bit now, hah
#gRegorMy implementation was pretty hacky, making it into a proper plugin now
#Loqihey [aciccarello], gRegor: it looks like this conversation is getting pretty technical (Micropub, implementation), can you take it to #indieweb-dev?
