[tantek] posting "here is my new blog post" links sounds more appropriate (in multiple ways in this case 🙂 ) for the #indieweb-stream unless it's specifically about the indieweb (not just on an indieweb website)

GWG I need to work on my photo presentation when I do a multi photo post...I don't actually have a multi photo posting template, only a single photo one, so I did this as a note. https://david.shanske.com/2025/12/14/9155/
#
GWG Anyone have any ideas on the presentation
gRegor joined the channel
#
[artlung] I think they talked a bit about multi-photos at https://indieweb.org/events/2025-12-07-hwc-photos-meetup GWG
#
[artlung] [Al_Abut] is on the way
#
GWG They who? Wasn't I there?
gRegor and dreamLogic joined the channel
#
[Al_Abut] Yeah I’m about to turn the key in the ignition, catching up on Slack from literally the driver’s seat. Happy to talk presentation of photos.
#
[artlung] Hah. I forgot you were in the photo
gRegor, kebokyo and georgemoody joined the channel
#
GWG So, this is what my single photo posts look like.

#
GWG I think I could add some more data
#
GWG I wanted to talk about that yesterday, but we didn't have time, so maybe in future

#
[tantek] we have done some exploration of the difference between a multiphoto post and a gallery/album post
#
[tantek] differences*. happy to chat about it over lunch!

ulhar4409 i am curious to hear about these differences

#
[tantek] what is a multiphoto
#
Loqi A multi-photo (also called a carousel on Instagram) is a photo post with multiple adjacent photos, either in a series, or tiled / arranged in some layout https://indieweb.org/multiphoto
#
[tantek] what is a gallery
#
Loqi A gallery is a deliberately curated set of photos, that may itself be a post, or an archive view, or potentially dynamically created via tags https://indieweb.org/gallery
#
[tantek] ulhar4409 ^ see those two pages for a summary of differences

ulhar4409 huh
adamsaunders joined the channel
#
ulhar4409 honestly it's a little confusing, but it's hard to articulate more specific lines of questioning
troojg joined the channel
#
ulhar4409 on some art-sharing sites, a post only contains one "photo" (very rarely actual photos but bear with me), but sometimes posts are related to each other and get grouped using links and/or "folders"
kbmonkey joined the channel
#
ulhar4409 Loqi: would a "folder" be more of a gallery, in the terms presented?

#
[tantek] what is a photo challenge
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "photo challenge" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "photo challenge is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] huh
gRegor joined the channel
#
[tantek] what is a challenge
#
Loqi A challenge on the indieweb can either mean a blogging challenge, a list of questions to answer or a topic to write about in a post, sometimes tagged/invited by others to do so, or an ongoing event-like post which invites people to post achievements towards a goal for a specific time period, like exercise or posting photos at some frequency (daily), also supported by silos like Strava and micro.blog https://indieweb.org/challenge
#
[tantek] photo challenge is a particular kind of [[challenge]] focused on taking and/or posting a [[photo]] for some number of days like a week, 30 days (each day of a month), 365 days (each day of a year), or continuously.
