f​adhln Hi guys, I'm new to indieweb. honestly, I am a bit lost with all the jargon from this community. As far as I understand, indieweb is a community for people that has their own personal site (cmiiw?), simple enough. but then there's webmention, microformats, etc. that really confuses me. is there any pages or posts that includes the definition of all the jargon and terminology that we use?

GWG Well, those are building blocks to enhance your website and allow interoperability with other websites.
#
GWG Happy to discuss
#
c​apjamesg Welcome, fadhln[d]!
#
c​apjamesg There is no technical knowledge required to participate in the IndieWeb!
#
GWG But why not look at /Getting_Started
#
c​apjamesg > but then there's webmention, microformats, etc. that really confuses me
#
Loqi hey IWDiscord: can you move the tech talk (Microformats) to #indieweb-dev to keep this channel more inclusive and inviting?

c​apjamesg Webmention lets you send messages (i.e. likes, comments) from your website to someone else's. microformats lets you structure blog posts and other content in a way that software can understand.
#
c​apjamesg All of this technology can be used to connect with other websites!
#
c​apjamesg You can ask our bot, Loqi, for help!
#
c​apjamesg What is getting started?
#
c​apjamesg Aahh, we need to fix that in Discord.
#
c​apjamesg Here is the link Loqi was supposed to return: https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started
#
f​adhln thank you for the welcome guys! after a very quick read, I get that indieweb is a movement where we create and publish our content on our own site/platform, and through utilizing tools like webmention and microformats, we can become more "connected" to the rest of the community. am I in the right direction?
#
GWG I think you are.

[snarfed] [tantek] re video posts on the fediverse, serving videos is outside the protocol, but it looks like some instances do download and re-host. eg in this post, the AS2 Video attachment URL is on http://snarfed.org, but viewing the post on indieweb.social (which is on masto.host), its web UI is serving the video from cdn.masto.host
#
[snarfed] (probably => #indieweb-dev)
#
[tantek] Very well summarized fadhln++

gRegor Welcome, fadhln o/ Do you have a personal website already or getting started?

#
f​adhln hi gRegor, I currently have one running at https://fadhln.my.id but I am planning to create a new one 😄
#
gRegor Nice!
#
gRegor A common question we ask is "what's the next thing you'd like to do on your personal site" which can help guide you, otherwise the wiki can get a bit overwhelming if you're digging into each of the building blocks...
#
gRegor We have virtual events most weeks, Homebrew Website Club, good opportunity to meet people, ask questions, and demo things you've done on your site: https://events.indieweb.org/tag/hwc
#
gRegor Pacific and London ones are virtual, Nuremberg is in person
#
f​adhln > what's the next thing you'd like to do on your personal site

#
f​adhln I am not so sure about this myself.. to be honest, I just got really inspired by the idea of digital garden by Maggie Appleton's post, and I want to create a personal website that sort of actualize that concept
#
gRegor what is digital garden
#
Loqi 🌱🪴 A digital garden is a particular practice of creating & growing an online and public IndieWeb presence that focuses more on topics & relationships than a timeline like blogs, has content of different levels of development, is imperfect and often a playground for experimentation, learning, revising, iteration, and growth for diverse content, perhaps interlinked with other digital gardens https://indieweb.org/digital_garden
#
f​adhln yeah I have looked into Homebrew Website Club and it's very interesting, I might join the next pacific session, probably..
#
f​adhln here you go the bot already answered it

[tantek] more and more Mastodon users are learning this lesson in 2023, it's good to see that
