@CircleReader ↩️ I'm on a #Mastodon instance at @CircleReader@IndieWeb.social for historical nerd reasons (I cut my teeth on WP, and have wanted an #IndieWeb for years) but it is like choosing an email host — is it run competently? is main ❓

Loqi migration in the context of the indieweb refers to the process of moving your indieweb site from any one or more of one CMS / web host / DNS provider / URL design / domain name to another https://indieweb.org/migration

@realpamdorra ↩️ It’s got the same basic layout on the web browser but seems to have a lot of customization. https://indieweb.org/CounterSocial (twitter.com/_/status/1588694288279670784)
# 
[tantek]1 [Murray] you may be more interested in:
# [tantek]1 what is account migration
# Loqi account migration (AKA account portability, or the ability to move your account) is a specific kind of migration when a user switches from using one account on a particular server to using another account on another server, typically when both servers host multiple accounts, and has the common problem of losing followers https://indieweb.org/account_migration

@benpate5280 ↩️ Sorry, I hate to be ignorant but there are so many things with pub/sub in their names. The point is OSS and federated servers. So I am building RSS generator and reader + a bunch of http://IndieWeb.org stuff (like webmentions) + ActivityPub (hopefully) (twitter.com/_/status/1588735893866962945)
# 
@als355 Trying out the Mastodon social network- it's pretty neat. Only drawback is there's no one global version-- it's a "pick your group" kind of thing. This is the one where I'm at: https://indieweb.social It's tech-focused but for social good.

# 
@hmans ↩️ The design I was going for was the typical Indieweb approach:
- have every user run their own website
- host names are user names
- interactions (likes, replies, etc) are expressed as documents that get webmention-pinged (twitter.com/_/status/1588794205648097280)

@nbshifrin ↩️ As a short term replacement, perhaps Mastodon? As a long term adjustment, IndieWeb philosophy. (twitter.com/_/status/1588803879583744002)
# 
@brianwisti Course now that I see cohost's no go, my brain is back on last week's question of "how much IndieWeb could one slather on Lektor (or any CMS+SSG combo) to make a static not-Tumblr-but-kinda blog?"
"last week." Some of those idea notes go back four years. (twitter.com/_/status/1588820646901043200)

@tnolte Will This Be The New Dawn of Mastodon?
I have been on #Mastodon since 2018 after exploring #POSSE and the #IndieWeb so I'll be curious to see what comes of the seemingly mass exodus oftter users coming into the Mastodon realm. #WordPress #SocialMedia https://timn.me/3Uqq0Eu (twitter.com/_/status/1588921223920099329)

@epyllia ↩️ I sent an application to join the indieweb server, since that looks like my people, at least on first glance. I’ll see how this goes and probably just maintain both Twitter and Mastodon a while. (twitter.com/_/status/1588922256909955072)
# @epyllia Yeah, because of this sort of thing, it is worth moving to Mastodon. In case even obscure me gets banned, I’m going to keep my Twitter handle and same email associated there, and I’ve applied to join indieweb. (twitter.com/_/status/1588926491987152897)
