Two years ago, I enabled comments on selected blog posts by utilising Mastodon replies as the mechanic.
As time passed on, I noticed I didn't use it that often.
I wanted to see if it was a tooling issue so I built a new CLI tool for myself that makes connecting a Mastodon post and a blog post easier and so far it's been a joy to use.

My new "Federated Universe" micro-blogging instance, using GoToSocial software. Yeah, and I hope this server lasts at least 3 days; if not, then 7 days, or even 1 month lol. 😄☀️ Plus, it has a .my domain, and it can motivate me to stay 😄☀️.

I’ve disabled ActivityPub federation for my blog posts again. Too much negativity on Mastodon. I have a lot going on and can’t deal with it. For the rest of the year, for external services just going to focus on Bluesky.

Building on lessons learned from my music collection project, I've created a digital bookshelf using Eleventy and the OpenLibrary API to organise my reading list. Many similar projects and write-ups already exist. This one just happens to be mine, and this article documents my personal approach.

Following multiple requests, we've made the decision to turn on Mastodon's latest discovery setting...
External sites will now be able to see referral traffic from indieweb.social 🚀
This setting allows publishers to see where the traffic to their site is coming from. The more Fediverse they see, the more they'll start taking decentralised social media seriously.
It won't signal out individual users, only the server 🕵️

Steve Bate has a long blog post about why ActivityPub’s client-to-server protocol has not been implemented:
Yet despite its promise, ActivityPub C2S has seen minimal real-world adoption. Most Fediverse platforms — including Mastodon, the dominant implementation — have actively avoided supporting it. Instead, they expose custom APIs that tightly couple client behavior to server internals.
More clients should use Micropub. It is also a W3C recommendation, but unlike C2S, Micropub is already widely implemented and has evolved through extensions to accommodate most real-world use cases.

Earlier this week I posted about rough edges I encountered using WebC. I wanted to follow up with specific technical details from the ones I documented in the process of converting my website to it.
