Loqi [snarfed.org] Bridgy Fed now supports all web sites! You can now use it from the fediverse to see and follow any site, regardless of whether it has microformats2, webmentions, or WebFinger.

# Loqi [tweesecake.social/@weirdwriter] Coming back to say, @nerdyblinddude that neither the blog URL nor the handle you mentioned in your post show up when I do a search on my instance.

# Loqi [layer8.space/@rwetzlmayr] @devnull I was under the assumption that e.g. #wordpress or @textpattern entering this space would result in lots of federated single-author / single-actor sites.

# Loqi Making it easier to setup and use your own IndieWeb presence is a goal of the IndieWeb community, with minimum maintenance, and helps us focus efforts on everything from improving the usability of the IndieWeb wiki itself (help wikify and garden), to providing more encouraging and accessible paths to getting started, to making sure developer-centric approaches like SSGs are clearly documented as such https://indieweb.org/easier

# Loqi [xoxo.zone/@scottandrew] I genuinely enjoy articles like this and the discussion that follows. UX/onboarding is a huge barrier of #indieweb uptake. Substack has this figured out.https://gilest.org/indie-easy-again.html (https://xoxo.zone/@scottandrew/111733142014995143)

[tantek] Substack is not really a great example to be using. How about http://micro.blog has figured it out instead?

# Loqi [mastodon.social/@alexzeitler] Webmention is a simple way to notify any URL when you mention it on your site.

# [tantek] aciccarello where your code directly accesses a file in an OS storage system (file system) for data, in contrast to your code accessing a database for data which then encodes/smashes/smushes/corrupts your data in some way into a proprietary and/or fragile database file in an OS storage system.

# [tantek] flat-file means a file which you the user can not only access directly on one system but can copy/move to another directory, another drive, another device and still be able to open and view it with full fidelity without have to use the same database monoculture software that was used to create it
# Loqi The database antipattern is the false assumption that a database is the best option for primary long-term storage of posts and other personal content (like on an indieweb site) https://indieweb.org/database_anti-pattern
