We’re excited to announce that, from Monday, we’re going to be the new admins of IndieWeb.social!

We’ve always loved how @tchambers has run IndieWeb.social. His direction has made it one of the best instances on the Fediverse!

Thanks to Tim for his trust in us to provide a safe and secure home for the server into the future.

#Koalitionsverhandlungen: Weg frei machen für gemeinwohlorientierte soziale Medien!

Öffentliche Stellen können Vorbild sein und demokratische Medien bereits durch ihre Nutzung fördern.

This week, it was all about dialing in the details, like improved comment threads and search results.

Surfers, we’d love to hear your thoughts about how it's going for you.

We're helping people join the open social web.

By showing them that they can:
- Own their community
- Escape the billionaires
- Rediscover what makes social good

What else should we tell them about the open social web? Why do you love it?

Social media is more turbulent than ever, reflecting society.

Now is our chance to help people move to democratic, open, social technology like the open social web.

We know that open social alternatives give control back to the user, now it is our job to bring more users to this social space.

If you want to help, share word of the open social web with the people around you.

Video: flash warning.

As the open social web recovers from its winter slump, we have to use the momentum to grow. See my thoughts here: forbetter.ghost.io/spring-on-th... #SocialWeb #SocialMedia

Spring on the Social Web

Spring has reached the open social web

With a wave of momentum and publicity hitting the open social web, now is the time for us to really put our eggs in one basket (pun intended) and get serious about working together to grow better social media.

Thanks to the brains at Ghost, you can now follow my blog directly from the Fediverse @index

Previews in ActivityPub / ActivityStreams is what should bind the disparate software and user-experiences on the Fediverse.

Not the ActivityStreams 'Note'.

...

Previews using 'icon', 'image', 'name', 'summary', etc.

I bridged my Bluesky account over to here - thanks (#BridgyFed).

@haubl.es

I don't really post much over there except work things and boosting/engaging with political stuff (since I'm on @fosstodon here and political content is not permitted).

If you have accounts on both, have you stopped posting on one protocol? Or do you go to different platforms for different types of content/ conversation?

While reading the social web documentation of @index (glad to see the progress of the Ghost integration with the Fediverse! [1]), I discovered that Tumblr is on their way to integrate with the social web after migrating their backend to WordPress.

Does anyone know of any good quality blogs from Tumblr? Just wondering if it will be a win for the Fediverse, or if the vast majority of those millions of blogs are just low to average content.

We're experimenting with #GhostCMS's new #ActivityPub integration!

Stay tuned for updates!
