haha I didn't notice my post included your christmas theme :-) I thought my nickname cache updated more regularly than that, I'll look into it.

Also strange that inoreader isn't finding my posts, it probably doesn't like it being empty a lot of the time (because I don't post that often.) I've just posted to make sure it still works, but I think I'll change the RSS feed so that it always has something in it.

I also don't think this reply to a reply is going to get threaded properly on twitter.... so many things to fix!

my RSS feed only displays content from the last 24 hours because it uses websub and expects aggregators to store content... so it's a feature, not a bug. :-)

But that's probably a bit confusing and unnecessary, so I might think about switching it back.

thanks Chris! :-)

I think we need to make things look easier (and demo it) for more IndieWeb uptake. It might not be simple underneath but every day use can be! ;-)

Hi Aaron, nice to read from another Australian looking into the IndieWeb. :-)

You're right that the concepts used in the IndieWeb haven't yet solidified into something that less technical users can grasp. I guess that's what makes it fun for more technical people to play with, and yet is a frustration for those just looking for something that works.

To try and answer your questions: brid.gy publishes posts from your site to silos such as Facebook and Twitter. You're right that this is a one to one mapping from your site to one account on each silo, though you can publish to both silos at the same time in one post. brid.gy will also listen for replies on those silo accounts and send them back to your site as webmentions.

The differences between Known, Micro.blog and Wordpress is going to be a long list :-) but I'm guessing you mean from the perspective of a new user learning about the IndieWeb? I don't use any of them, but Wordpress looks like it has the easiest set up process for installing IndieWeb modules. Known has more IndieWeb functionality built into it's core, but I think getting it set up in the first place might take more work than Wordpress. Micro.blog is quite different from the other two, it's IndieWeb friendly but only provides a hosted service.

thanks for all your great work Henare!

good post, I think we will learn how to filter our data, but we need to take control of it first. We're still at step one.

A pleasure Chris! Thanks for sharing :-)

done. thank you for suggesting it.

Hi Martijn yes I should've probably linked to the Web sign-in page rather than IndieAuth. I was trying to say that it could be used for more than Web sign-in too, for instance the bookmarklet can be used on the page that creates it to make another copy of the bookmarklet. :-)

I'm sure it will happen, server hosting costs might need to drop a little further first, but it's not too far off.
