Announcing folk.zone: An attempt to build the IndieWeb commons myself.

Announcing folk.zone, a collection of free, community-run internet services I'm building as an IndieWeb commons. Including Mastodon, WriteFreely, Forgejo, Pixelfed, Lemmy, and more. All self-hosted on hardware in my living space. This is infrastructure for the common folk, not for enterprise or scale, inspired by omg.lol and rooted in the IndieWeb and Fediverse principles.

@brennan Whaaaa! This is ambitious and exciting and I’m so down! How does one go about getting on the list to register? :D

As a fellow self-hoster, good luck! Especially supporting uptime for more than a single user, my hardware is probably not strong enough for that (but yours actually might!)

(For the record, I run everything on a single Celeron N5095, you have a cluster of four machines, you absolutely got this)

@brennan Yesss, Brennan! You're, like, a couple steps and a tick more confidence ahead of me. I want to do something very similar for my local community.
