How do I tie IRC username with slack account?
#
alphaerik
I see some people have avatar while I am just an "webhook"
#
[mattl]
I’m just using Slack, where I set my avatar.

How do you build your own sites?
#
[Richard_Wildin]
Any opinions on 11ty ,Jekyll, Hugo, or any other ready-to-use site generators?
#
[snarfed]
[Richard_Wildin] people here use all the different options! some background on https://indieweb.org/projects
#
[snarfed]
really mostly depends on you, how much or little coding and admin you want to do, etc
#
[snarfed]
we often recommend https://micro.blog/ to people who want a host that's indieweb-friendly and don't want to deal with much technical stuff

Hello #indieweb folks, I'm pleased to find this place. I have been doing something along the lines of POSSE as on the indieweb sites article on the same. Only thing is I didnt call it that as it was up to then an idea in my head. It is so good to find folk that have similar ideals. I blog at https://headshed.dev/missivz/ where I hope to share my thoughts and ideas on taking control and ownership of our digital life on line

capjamesg[d]: sweet, I was planning on joining and look forward to saying hi in person, I notice there is a possible edinburgh indiewebcamp next year

capjamesg
Great! We usually start by asking what people have been doing on their websites and let the discussion flow from there.
#
marshyon
sounds good to me
#
capjamesg
We talk about everything from blogging to CSS to webmentions -- anything that comes up related to personal websites!
#
marshyon

Welcome Shystoryteller
#
chillybones
Welcome shystoryteller! I also just found out about the indie web movement and have been feeling a lot of the fatigue surrounding social media and commercial web that others in the community have been feeling. It was so refreshing to find a like minded community. I've been on a journey the past couple of days uncovering sites and other communities.
#
chillybones
I almost feel radicalized by some of the things that I've found... but there isn't anything controversal really. Its just individual people on their own platforms.
