For someone with a plain old static website who literally just drags and drops the files to a plain old web server using my file browser, all of this #indieweb stuff seems so complicated!

@nathanu Keep it simple! I'm the same. Not interested in syndicating to social media but some aspects of the indie web are great. Hcards and webrings are nice static things that don't need anything complicated. The ideas behind #smallweb and #smolweb align well.

But the important thing is: you do you :) that's the great thing about having your own web garden!

About smolweb

smolweb.org promotes simple unbloated web. It provides resources to actors who want to participate.

@nathanu A common, unfortunate sentiment. To which my response is always this https://shellsharks.com/notes/2024/05/14/one-of-us

TLDR; Nothing about #indieweb need be technical or complicated. All you need is your own site, with your own domain, posting your own stuff. That's it! Anything and everything else is just a bonus.

Happy webbin’!
