pastorzen_87191 I'm an author and artist just starting on this data reclamation journey. Got interested in this community yesterday after an impromptu wiki binge. My goal is to become more computer literate and build tools for my friends to create dope art. Got a used PC to run tests on, learning some python atm, eventually want to build out a web app and browser plugin. For now it's just a blog, called timegrow.org
#
pastorzen_87191 Hey guys, I'm Zen.

#
Cloud hello I'm a bit on what indie web really is, in this case, indieweb is the concept itself right? I have a page on neocities, and the neocities site itself allows us to see other pages hosted there. That's not the case here right?
#
Cloud sorry for any broken english
#
[snarfed] hi Cloud! right, indieweb is a concept, not a specific host or product. https://indieweb.org/principles
#
Cloud thank you! then how could we find other sites within this
#
Cloud for example, I create my page but then how would I get to know other simmilar concept sites
#
[snarfed] what is discovery
#
Loqi Discovery is a variety of methods for finding content, websites, communities, or people to follow on the web including search, directories, recommendation engines, tags, or other serendipitous methods; there are also discovery-algorithms for developers https://indieweb.org/discovery
#
Cloud okay, thank you. relying on the current search engines is not much of a reliable option
#
gRegor Yeah, there's quite a few topical webrings and directories that are helpful to find other indie sites

capjamesg Cloud There are a few projects that aim to create alternatives to mainstream search engines.
