barnaby the getting started page should be fairly up to date, although it’s more of a broad entry point into figuring out what kind of approach you want to take
#
barnaby i.e. deciding between using a hosted indieweb service like micro.blog or known, setting up something like wordpress and configuring it for indieweb stuff, or rolling your own software to some degree
#
barnaby and depending on what you decide on, there might be an up-to date guide
#
gRegor For domain name ideas, I like https://domainr.com/
#
barnaby sadly it looks like mouse.com is taken
#
barnaby mou.se too :P
#
gRegor Yeah, might need to branch out a bit haha
#
mouse1 Is there any practical difference in top level domains (.com vs .se for example)? Or is it just aesthetic preference?
#
barnaby what is tld
#
Loqi A top-level domain (TLD) is the last part of a domain name, such as .com, .net, .org https://indieweb.org/TLD
#
barnaby ^ there’s some information there on TLD-specific differences
#
gRegor Some of them are pricier, and some have criticisms (like .io)
#
barnaby oh actually the detailed information is on https://indieweb.org/ccTLD
#
barnaby some of them have additional legal implications/requirements too
#
mouse1 Oh that sucks. More stuff to take into consideration

#
barnaby TIL that Simon Willison used to POSSE answers to Quora questions https://simonwillison.net/tags/quora/
#
barnaby what is Quora
#
Loqi Quora is a question and answer hosting silo that is unarchived (actively blocks the Internet Archive), and exposed 100+ million users data in December 2018 breach https://indieweb.org/Quora

barnaby << Simon Willison used to POSSE answers to Quora questions https://simonwillison.net/tags/quora/

#
gRegor Loqi does a bunch of fun things, even memes
#
gRegor What is Loqi
#
Loqi Loqi is a friendly and useful bot/digital therapist present in the IndieWeb discussion channels https://indieweb.org/Loqi
#
[hollie] Even memes??
#
[hollie] What if I asked Loqi to make a meme?
#
[hollie] (I might have misread the instructions)
#
barnaby does loqi still do “x all the y” memes? I thought that got turned off
#
barnaby indieweb all the things
#
gRegor !meme indieweb all the things
#
barnaby lol I guess that meme is a little dated by now
#
gRegor Ah, maybe it did
#
gRegor !meme one does not simply have Loqi make a meme
#
Loqi http://meme.loqi.me/m/5M6KM0pH.jpg
#
gRegor \o/
#
gRegor Those commands probably more for #indieweb-chat
#
[hollie] Hahahaha oh well done
#
Loqi [hollie]: lol
#
gRegor Is anyone doing inktober drawings and posting them on their site? I might give it a go. https://inktober.com/rules
#
gRegor There's a bunch of alternate prompts out there if you search hashtag inktober, or make your own
#
jacky ooh that I am not
#
jacky soon I wanna try it out
#
gRegor I'm no good at drawing but could be fun to stretch a different creative muscle, and doomscroll less
#
[hollie] I did this for a couple years and it was really fun. Oh geez this means I should get a blog going... <checks calendar>....today...
#
gRegor [hollie], you still have micro.blog right? Could post them there. I'm sure quite a few there are also participating.
#
[hollie] I do, yeah. I guess that'd work. I still want to get ClassicPress going but a bunch of folks are talking about how SiteGround auto-updates and loses their installation.
#
gRegor ack, that's no bood
#
gRegor *good

barnaby provided you have a way of manually adding u-syndication links (temporary empty ones in the content if necessary), it should be possible
