Loqi [@WeirdWriter] I've been trying to redirect my old domain to my new one, including manually going to directories and asking to have it changed.

Loqi Small Web (or smallweb) is a term used in a 1999 article, a hosting service, two consulting services, a May 2020 article, a Aug 2020 blog post that describes (without citing) a subset of IndieWeb principles, most recently a HackerNews summary of Gemini, and has recent variants smol web (smolweb) and smol net (smolnet) https://indieweb.org/small_web

Loqi [@ross] The main divide between my published content seems to be points in time vs. living documents, and I should reorganize into /stream and /garden. Wondering if those URIs are timeless enough, or a fleeting trend. I'm already overwhelmed with redirects from prior indecision.... (https://social.rossabaker.com/@ross/114348542403161039)

Loqi garden and stream is a metaphor for different kinds & aspects of websites, contrasting growing & linking content slowly & incrementally by topic, versus posting & presenting time-based content chronologically, and the subject of a few IndieWebCamp sessions https://indieweb.org/garden_and_stream

Loqi [manton.org] Great post from Ben Werdmuller about the future of Bluesky. Many people can’t get past comparing the technical differences of ATProto and ActivityPub. Surprise, they’re not the same thing. They have different goals. Ben’s post skips that and focuses on how the business fits... (https://www.manton.org/2025/04/16/great-post-from-ben-werdmuller.html)

Loqi [@TheIdOfAlan] New Blog Post: In which I argue RSS apps should have timeline UI.
The screenshot timing couldn't have been better. Got it just the "Trans women are women" post from @adactio went by.

Loqi [@hackleberry] TIL https://status.cafe/ and https://piclog.blue/ exist. They're websites where you can share, respectively, plaintext statuses, and highly-compressed images. You can make a profile with custom CSS.
As a bonus, you can embed a widget of your profile into your website.
