Thrakbad Hi all! I'm also one of the people who found this place through youtube. I'm just working through the IndieWeb verification via rel-me links. I've gotten Github to work, but Bluesky isn't working. I've done the domain verification *and* added a link to my profile description, but the validator still says "does not link back". So before I dive into an unnecessary debugging session. Can anyone tell me where exactly I have to link back fr

# [morgan]2 Theres a few people around who have noted liking zines, If a handful of people are interested I could do such a thing 🙇

# [aciccarello] I've considered making an online zine but I don't really know where to start. I'd be interested in a popup.
# [aciccarello] I think [artlung] and [Al_Abut] might also be interested
# [aciccarello] What are zines
# 
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "zines" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "zines is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# [aciccarello] zines is /zine
# [aciccarello] What are zines?
# Loqi A zine is a paper self-publication, often about non-mainstream topics, sometimes described as the precursor of personal blogs and IndieWeb https://indieweb.org/zines

# [aciccarello] Welcome Lilac_!
# Lilac_ hii!

# [aciccarello] What's the link for your neocities site?
# [aciccarello] My site is at https://www.ciccarello.me/
# Lilac_ It is extraordinarily barebones at this point, I literally just started but, I can send it
# Lilac_ https://lilac-hearth.neocities.org/ this is my site, i started yesterday and just published, mind you i am learning html and css as i go along ^^;
wtl joined the channel
# [aciccarello] Nice! There's a lot to learn with HTML and CSS but you only need to know a little bit to get started. I like how it is coming along.
# [aciccarello] If you have any technical questions, we also have a #indieweb-dev channel. Loqi might also encourage us to use that channel if it comes up a lot in chat.
# Lilac_ that makes sense, i saw that there was, just thought to check in and say hi. that feels more logical :)
# Lilac_ aight imma head off to sleep though!
# [aciccarello] Thanks for stopping by!

loke_artemis People talking about zines 👀
# loke_artemis I have to add a page about my zines on my web
# [morgan]2 one of us! one of us!
# loke_artemis Yay
Ramon and Ray joined the channel
# Ray Hi
# loke_artemis Hi! ✨
# [morgan]2 Hey so zines... I love them. I love the old school DIY ethos and also modern zines which come in PDFs and websites. Somehow I have never really seen a zine I didnt like. Perhaps because I can arbitrarily say its not a zine but something else, but basically I love zines.
# [morgan]2 I want to continue doing some temperature checks for interest in the topic, but we could definitely do a Zine meeting or popup
# loke_artemis Wow, that so cool
# loke_artemis I love how the zines can be so raw and directly from the source
# loke_artemis In Spain some people are working on doing a zine festival where instead of people filling by themselves an entire table (Or groups of organized people) the tables will be fill with zines from everybody mixed (A lot of people being able to share just one zine) and I can't wait to find the amount of underground art that there will be
# loke_artemis I added my zine links on my about page ( https://loke-artemis.neocities.org/about ) but I'll host them directly there soon
# [morgan]2 TIL from your post that http://itch.io has hosted zines I can pay some few dollars for
# [morgan]2 Never considered that as a potential source
# loke_artemis [morgan]2: Yeah! They also have jams where for an limitante amount of time people create something between a few rules, normally it's for videogames but you can find for zines too
# loke_artemis Also in itchio there are a bundle to donate for the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, with 10$ you get 1,439 items
# loke_artemis (You can filter and see more info on what it contains in: https://randombundlegame.com/?bundles=noiceminnesota)
# loke_artemis It's mostly ttrpgs but in case anyone wants to help
# [morgan] https://multipage.gumroad.com/ <- This zine is really excellent, its about HTML
# loke_artemis oh, cool
# loke_artemis Why is this soooo funny, love it
# [morgan] The editor is a very funny and incredibly intelligent person. He used to be/was a boxer 🥊 , has made a lot of impactful stuff
# [aciccarello] I love the "This section is non-normative"
