OK! As promised...I've finally got around to getting the blog roll started. I'll be adding more folks/connections as we go, but first and foremost, thank you to the following amazing folks that reached out to connect with me: @icaria36 @Anne_Delong @etherdiver @elsemusic @didier @fastjack25
Please visit their sites when you can!
Good morning from this part of the world.
Thank you to everyone who read my piece posted yesterday, especially those who boosted it.

If you have favorite bloggers, please let me know, I'm trying to build my list.
I added a paginated Blogroll page to my blog! It looks pretty nice, but I may make it more compact later.
@hertg @shellsharks I literally had this toot bookmarked so I could come here and blather on about the #Indieweb, I just had to finish lunch first. But glad hertg beat me to it!
I think webrings are set to make a huge comeback, and they certainly have many federated/social qualities. Webrings are one component of the larger Indieweb, which has many other mechanisms for socializing and discovery!
For example, take a look at this writeup - "RSS blogrolls are a federated social network" (https://alexsci.com/blog/blogroll-network/). It talks about how a #blogroll can extend a regular #rss feed, adding federated "discovery" capabilities to an indieweb site. It's a cool idea! And vibes very much with what you're talking about here. I'm actually working on fixing up my own blogroll in the spirit of what this article talks about.
So yeah, build a site, be part of a web ring, make yourself a blogroll, link to other peoples sites.
Also @mttaggart , if you're spinning up a webring, I'm in.
I am so old, that I can safely say that #webring [1] and #blogroll are the true origin of the #fediverse ;) A federated network that brought people together based on shared interests. #ActvityPub brings that approach back and allows us to leave the centralised networks behind. Things are getting better, IMHO :)
Turns out there's still an active hobby / mini-painting / tabletop wargames scene out there in the blogging world. Many of them have just been plugging away for over a decade.
Since search these days is so enshittified, and nearly useless for finding anything that doesn't have an ad budget behind it, I've decided to start trying to pull together a list - which I've shared here.
Want to add the blog to your #WebRing or #BlogRoll?
I made buttons for the AMF!

Thx to @stefan for the reminder!
It's been too many years since I had a blogroll on my site, but I think it's an important addition for anyone serious about wanting blogs to make a comeback.
These 9 are my current favorites that are still relatively active (a few masquerading as newsletters), and I highly recommend them all for the reasons noted.
I am currently working on my /blogroll slash page.
I am looking for cool indie web blogs that I can list on this page. Some of the categories I plan on listing are; tech, indie web, cybersec, infosec, etc.
If you or you know of any web/blogs that you think would be great for my blogroll, feel free to comment below with a link to them.
If I’m blunt with myself I’ve already bit off more than I can reasonably chew in a reasonable amount of time, lol.

Blogroll.fr #blogroll va bientôt migrer vers un format statique tout simple et l'adresse du flux RSS va changer !

Salut !
WordPress étant une usine à gaz, je vais bientôt passer sur un site statique en texte tout simple et ça va être super. Si vous suivez le flux RSS de blogroll.fr, c’est le moment de suivre https://blogroll.fr/feed.xml qui est actuellement un lien mort mais sera la nouvelle adresse.
Dans le nouveau site, vous m’enverrez les nouvelles propositions de blog par mail à blogroll@alexsirac.com : ça me permettra de vous répondre et ça sera vachement plus sympa 
And I know some folks also have a dedicated #blogroll page on their website, which is pretty neat (one example I like is https://www.mollywhite.net/blogroll/).
I have to look into setting that up myself.
Cool blogroll project courtesy of @davew. I like that it sorts based on recent posts, and shows a preview of those posts inline.
Here's a tool that can crawl #RSS feeds, find #OPML #Blogroll and render a network map. Uses git scraping, golang, and GitHub Pages.
This builds on the blogroll.opml concept: https://opml.org/blogroll.opml

Can we create communities around blogrolls?
Did you know? #RSS isn't dead! In a world where the #openweb is starting to have a bit of a renaissance, RSS too is having a resurgence. Get yourself an RSS service, a client and start subscribing to stuff!
I wrote about my own love for RSS a few years ago, maybe it's worth resharing now...

If you're looking to jumpstart the feeds you subscribe to, consider some of the great ones I have listed in my #blogroll https://shellsharks.com/blogroll.
