aaronpk i'm seriously considering moving indiewebcat.com over to micro.blog
#
aaronpk ownyourgram is dead, so now my motivation for posting photos on her instagram account has gone down significantly since there's no longer an automatic import to her website
#
aaronpk so using micro.blog means i get to use nice apps or any micropub client, and also indiewebcat.com can be in bluesky and the fediverse too

Allie is anyone doing anything that feels like instagram?
#
Allie i have stopped putting photographs on the internet

#
Allie flickr absolutely does my head in and i don't want another £5/mo subscription
#
Allie i will more than likely write something myself, but it is a surprise to me that this problem still seems so open-ended

benpate[m] <Allie> "is anyone doing anything that..." <- What’s your timeline, and how much work do you want to do?
#
benpate[m] I made a proof of concept photo gallery for emissary.social. It’s not perfect yet but I’d love to work with you to make it an IndieWeb Instagram.
#
Allie benpate[m]: i think you'd be pushing uphill to convince me that i want a federated thing :D but i'd love to have a look around

#
[schmarty] Which "features" of Instagram are you looking to recreate for yourself?
#
[schmarty] I have a little Instagram-inspired collection at http://mmg.re/photos/ that shows a square tile for any recent posts with photos attached. I rarely post only photos so that's just check-in posts of late.
#
[schmarty] I feel like http://micro.blog gets a lot of photography as well, though it bumps into your no-subscription restriction

#
aaronpk there's also https://pixelfed.org if you want something that looks as close to instagram as possible
#
aaronpk i haven't actually tried it out myself tho

#
Allie [schmarty]: I would like to put photographs on a website, and put words with them. Ideally from a web interface.
#
Allie that is the extent of what IG is to me :D
#
Allie it'd be nice to generate an atom feed oto
#
benpate[m] <Allie> "benpate: i think you'd be..." <- Yep, I understand. The idea is that it works on the IndieWeb *and* ActivityPub. I could probably work out a way to turn off ActivityPub, if that’s valuable.
#
Loqi hey Allie, benpate[m], can you move the tech talk (ATOM, ActivityPub) to #indieweb-dev to keep this channel more inclusive and inviting?
#
benpate[m] The biggest issue is that it’s still undercooked, and there’s plenty of mature apps out there. But if you’re looking for something more DIY, let me know 😀

capjamesg Allie do you have a personal website?
#
[KevinMarks] @allie Known will do that too, if you are happy hosting a php app somewhere
#
Allie [KevinMarks]: ooh, i like the look of Known
#
Allie capjamesg: not really. there's a place on the internet that i put words occasionally, mostly recipes/etc, but i don't keep a structured personal presence on the internet
#
capjamesg Known is good!
#
Allie I am allergic to features and I am allergic to 'social' these days
