Zegnat Just posted in #indieweb-events but for visibility: There is an open-source event happening in Gothenburg mid-April (https://events.indieweb.org/Xh2T5GlSZdLz). They are also pushing some events on the day before (Sunday 13th) from other communities (https://foss-north.se/2025/communityday.html). Are any IndieWeb people attending foss-north? I think my employer will be happy to host some of us the 13th if we want to have an impromptu

Xander People in 2025: "Fediverse? It's so complicated! I have to choose a server! I'll stick to x/bluesky"
#
Xander People in 1995: "I want to be online, let me buy this book on HTML and start making my own webpage!"

#
Zegnat [jeremycherfas]: I am fully aware that is is probably only of interest to people who were already planning to attend foss-north. But worth a try! :D

[tantek] remember when we were joking about making an IndieWeb version of Pokemon Go? Presumably that was because some of you were actual users of the actual Pokemon Go. You might want to know this: https://www.404media.co/saudi-arabia-buys-pokemon-go-and-probably-all-of-your-location-data/

#
[aciccarello] I recommend birding instead. It's like real-life pokemon go 😉
#

#
[tantek] do you post your birding sightings on your personal site?
#
[tantek] I'm a fan of the Seek iOS app for species-spotting in the wild as another form of that - I've only posted a "year in review" about the species I "observed" last year: https://tantek.com/2025/020/t1/seek-2024-year-in-review
#
doesnm Indieweb Pokemon Go? How?
#
Xander You have to track down other indieweb members and kidnap them
alfiee joined the channel
#
[tantek] LOL
#
[tantek] what is IndieMon
#
Loqi Badges was a session at IndieWebCamp NYC 2018 https://indieweb.org/IndieMon
#
[tantek] doesnm ^ click that link, it'll redirect to the discussion of Indieweb Pokemon Go
#
[tantek] it wasn't pursued any further than that AFAIK, so not enough to create a separate "IndieMon" page but there you go if you're interested and want to build on (or start fresh from) prior discussion
#
doesnm lol i'm thinking like travel to real world and scan qr codes 0_0
#
[tantek] no QR code needed. check this diagram from the notes: https://indieweb.org/images/a/a8/2018-nyc-badge-whiteboard-1.png

Zegnat Or if collecting Pokémon is not your thing, we once tried to figure out how to have Pokémon battles over webmentions: https://chat.indieweb.org/dev/2020-02-27#t1582832171953300
#
Zegnat Oh, scratch that, that was actually linked on the wiki. And here I went down the rabbithole to find that link again ...

#
[aciccarello] [tantek] I don't have any bird sighting posts but I'll occasionally blog about my bird watching. I'm now 2 years behind on my year-in-review posts.
#
[aciccarello] I do occasionally syndicate iNaturalist sightings to my website photos
#
[aciccarello] And I have links to both iNaturalist and eBird on my homepage
#
[aciccarello] example syndicated iNaturalist post: https://www.ciccarello.me/posts/2025/02/07/moisture-frogs/
#
[aciccarello] And another: https://www.ciccarello.me/photos/2022/04/19/cobwebby-thistle/
#
[aciccarello] Haha, this is not the wiki page I was looking for...
#
[aciccarello] What is the nature of Twitter?
#
Loqi The nature of Twitter is that incorrect criticism gets way more retweets than accurate positive posts https://indieweb.org/nature_of_Twitter
#
[aciccarello] What is iNaturalist?
#
Loqi iNaturalist is a silo for publishing observations of wildlife that makes two native mobile apps, iNaturalist, and Seek, for exploring the natural world https://indieweb.org/iNaturalist

[tantek] capjamesg[d]++ great post!
#
Loqi capjamesg[d] has 79 karma in this channel over the last year (216 in all channels)
#
[tantek] appreciate your thinking process
#
capjamesg[d] Thank you! I wrote that at the HWC Edinburgh writing hour yesterday.
#
[tantek] what is a draft
#
Loqi 📓 A draft in the context of the indieweb refers to a draft post, a post that an author has partially written, or otherwise does not consider finished https://indieweb.org/draft
#
[tantek] amazing, already there
#
[Trevor_Morris] I see you talked about redirect links. I do this for my social media links in the footer — https://links.trovster.com/letterboxd although Mastodon needs a full link for the verification rel=me to work.
#
[Trevor_Morris] Also, a “linktree” style page… I decided on a subdomain for mine. This is mine — https://links.trovster.com
#
btrem I have a different idea of how to share drafts, something I've wanted for a while now. Maybe if I get a round tuit and actually create it, I'll post about my implementation.
#
[tantek] [Trevor_Morris]++ nice looking links page!
