Digital gardens vs blogging: What’s the difference?

Digital gardens are a different way to present yourself on the Internet. Blogging is often see as a way to "brand yourself". Digital gardens are less interested in marketing a personality but in sharing knowledge.

I've stumbled upon the IndieWeb, and now I'm tempted to "indiewebfy" my online presence.

My first move should be a change in how and where I create content. For instance, instead of publishing on the Fediverse first, I should publish on my own microblog and THEN syndicate/replicate it to the Fediverse.

IndieWebprinciples🗽 The IndieWeb Community is largely based on principles that we practice and aspire to, such as own your data and remember to have fun! You can read all of our guiding principles below.

back when i first joined mastodon, one of the many surprising things i learned was that gopher had made a return to the public sphere after decades of obscurity.

i grew up with gopher and archie and veronica and many other www-alt protocols before getting hooked on the world wide web. they taught me how to hunt for things, in a time when web search didn't exist yet.

i've spent every day of the past week adding a new feature to kiki that i'm incredibly proud of, after hearing from several folks - namely @tomjennings and @scott, who (like me) are hungry for an information-dense and cruft-free internet

this works by turning your kiki pages into gopherspace pages through some formatting magic and textmunging. so now, you can host your kiki instance on both the www and in gopherspace, simultaneously.

it will be released in an upcoming version of kiki, available soon here: tomo-dashi.itch.io/kiki

"Why The Indieweb?
This is the story of the birth of the web, its loss of innocence, its decline, and what we can do to make it a bit less gross. Or if you prefer, this is the video in which I say the expression “barbecue sets” far too many times.

Webbed Briefs

WEBBED BRIEFS are brief videos about the web, its technologies, and how to make the most of them. They’re packed with information, fun times(TM), and actual goats."
