    What does it take to be on or be part of the #indieweb?

    As several have shared before me:
    * own your domain and publish some content on it

    That’s the foundation. If you have a personal website on a domain you own and control, you’re on the indieweb or part of the indieweb or however you would like to express a sense of belonging.

    Of course there are lots of things you can do to be more indieweb, and that’s very much a choose your own adventure journey.

    Maybe you’ll decide to post your content first on your personal site rather than on silos, and only post copies (syndicate) to social media walled gardens.

    Maybe you like taking an explicitly principled approach, step-by-step.

    Maybe you’ll decide to entirely quit using specific silos, for any reason, whether you created a replacement with your own site, or switched to a community owned and run solution.

    Maybe you’re a developer and decide to implement various open web standards (formats and protocols) so your indieweb site can interact more with other indieweb sites.

    Maybe you want to join a community of like-minded folks creatively expressing themselves on their personal sites, treating each other respectfully, encouraging each other, and collaborating on building better solutions than sites that require agreeing to long and heavily imbalanced terms of service.

    All of these are optional.

    Make a personal website on a domain you own, put some content there.

    Welcome.
