title="events">events</a> are for anyone who creates or works on their own personal website, or wants one, and shares at least some of that creativity or work openly (open source, open design, open UX). </p> <ul><li>Are you a <a href="/creator" title="creator">creator</a>?

There is no requirement to self-host your website to be considered "indieweb". The important thing is to own your identity and your data. As long as you own your <a href="/domain" class="mw-redirect" title="domain">domain</a>, you have the ability to switch <a href="/hosting" class="mw-redirect" title="hosting">hosting</a> providers as you please. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="What_are_the_most_important_things_about_an_indieweb_site">What are the most important things about an indieweb site</span></h2> <p><i>Q: What would you say are the most important things about an indieweb site?</i> </p><p>A: After <a href="/getting_started" class="mw-redirect" title="getting started">getting started</a>, build what interests you most — <a href="/make_what_you_need" title="make what you need">build what you need</a> and will use. You can also follow the <a href="/IndieMark" title="IndieMark">IndieMark</a> levels. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="How_do_I_export_my_data">How do I export my data</span></h2> <p><i>Q: How do I export my data from various services?</i> AKA </p> <ul><li>Is there a list of data liberation options?</li> <li>How to get your __[type of data]__ out of __[cloud service]__?</li></ul> <p>A: The information about how to export your data from each silo is available on the wiki page for that silo. E.g. </p> <ul><li><a href="/Twitter" title="Twitter">Twitter</a>: <a href="/Twitter#Download_all_your_tweets" title="Twitter">Download all your tweets</a></li> <li><a href="/Facebook" title="Facebook">Facebook</a>: <a href="/Facebook#Exporting_your_data" title="Facebook">Exporting your data</a></li> <li>... etc.</li></ul> <p>See the <a href="/silos" class="mw-redirect" title="silos">silos</a> page for a list of popular silos. If you have an account somewhere not listed there, go ahead and add such silos to the <a href="/silos" class="mw-redirect" title="silos">silos</a> page and ask in <a href="/discuss" title="discuss">chat</a> if anyone has any experience exporting from it/them. Once could also use <a class="external text" href="https://freeyourstuff.cc/">FreeYourStuff</a> as a means of exporting data from some services. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Is_this_just_federated_social_networks">Is this just federated social networks</span></h2> <p><i>Q: Aren't you just talking about federation?</i> </p><p>A: <a class="external text" href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/03/introduction-distributed-social-network">Federated social networks</a> and <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_social_network">distributed social networks</a> have been touted as an answer to the same problem indie web people are trying to solve. It's not the same. </p><p>Federated social networks are an improvement over single <a href="/silo" title="silo">silo</a> services, but they still don't put the individual user in control. With an IndieWeb approach, the individual is the primary actor in the network rather than the network. </p><p>In a federated social network, it may be the case that there is some equality and transparency and compatibility between services, however the networks (and their admins) are still the primary actors rather than the individuals who create content. </p><p>With an IndieWeb approach, the individual users control their own identity, control their own publishing process & syndication (see <a href="/POSSE" title="POSSE">POSSE</a>), and networking is secondary. </p><p>It also doesn't mean that we have to sit around and wait for big sites to agree on protocols (often decided behind closed doors, and often far too hard for individuals to implement). </p><p>The IndieWeb approach empowers you to publish directly to the web, on domains and services you control. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Is_there_an_IndieWeb_mailing_list">Is there an IndieWeb mailing list</span></h2> <p><i>Q: Is there an IndieWeb mailing list?</i> </p><p>A: <b>No.</b> We use <a href="/discuss" title="discuss">chat</a>. One of the reasons people in the IndieWeb community are particularly productive is that there's no mailing list dominated by talkers to distract <a href="/creators" class="mw-redirect" title="creators">creators</a>. We started the IndieWeb community and <a href="/IndieWebCamps" title="IndieWebCamps">IndieWebCamps</a> without a mailing list, and have found chat sufficient for any general discussions. Specific issues on particular specifications, or software are better discussed in GitHub issues on their respective repos. </p><p>Also: short chat messages 24x7 worldwide scale much better than paragraphs of emails, both for writing and reading. </p><p>If you get this far and still feel the need to join an IndieWeb / Social Web related mailing list, look into joining the W3C’s <a href="/Social_Web_Incubator_Community_Group" title="Social Web Incubator Community Group">Social Web Incubator Community Group</a> (SWICG), which does have a mailing list, though be forewarned, most of the traffic and content is theoretical & aspirational, and not directly related to anything the authors are themselves building and using for their own social web presence. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="How_do_you_figure_stuff_out">How do you figure stuff out</span></h2> <p><i>Q: How do you hash stuff out?</i> or <br /> <i>Q: How does the indieweb community discuss stuff?</i> </p><p>A: <b><a href="/discuss" title="discuss">Chat</a>.</b> Sometimes blog posts on our own blogs with proposals. Sometimes we <a href="/events" title="events">meetup in person</a>. Sometimes proposals on wiki pages, followed up with chat or in-person chats. Sometimes someone just <a href="/eat_what_you_cook" title="eat what you cook">ships something on their own site</a> and asks, hey folks, what do you think of this? </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="What_if_my_timezone_is_very_different">What if my timezone is very different</span></h2> <p><i>Q: What if my timezone is very different from those I want to discuss with?</i> </p><p>A: You'd be surprised. We're a round-the-clock multi-timezone crew. We read the <a class="external text" href="https://chat.indieweb.org">chat logs</a>, chat, sometimes leave short text messages to each other via "<kbd>!tell</kbd>". </p><p>Beyond the US, we have active community members come and go in the UK, France, Belgium, Germany, India, Hong Kong, and other countries. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Is_the_indieweb_giving_in_to_silos_with_POSSE_and_backfeed">Is the indieweb giving in to silos with POSSE and backfeed</span></h2> <p><i>Q: Is the indieweb conforming to what silos want instead of the other way around by POSSEing and using backfeeds of comments/activities? If all the silo comments/activities will end up on my site what is the incentive for my friends there to go indie?</i> </p><p>A: Through <a href="/POSSE" title="POSSE">POSSE</a>+<a href="/backfeed" title="backfeed">backfeed</a> your site will aggregate all the activity and responses to your posts. </p><p>Your site has more than any one silo; the most complete experience around a piece of content. </p><p>This is a good incentive for readers to visit your site instead of a silo-copy. </p><p>By seeing how much better your indieweb profile is than any of their silo profiles, it may motivate them to go 'indie' as well. Help them do so! </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="How_do_I_set_or_change_my_name_on_the_IndieWebCamp_wiki">How do I set or change my name on the IndieWebCamp wiki</span></h2> <p><i>Q: How do I use something other than my domain name as my username on the wiki?</i> </p><p>A: Once you have registered via <a href="/indieauth" class="mw-redirect" title="indieauth">indieauth</a> on the wiki, you'll be able to create your profile page. You'll notice that the username you have is the domain you registered with, but that when other people are referenced around the wiki they often have a nickname, sometimes with a profile photo, such as <span class="h-card" style="white-space:nowrap"><img src="https://aaronparecki.com/images/profile.jpg" class="" style="height:1.1em;vertical-align:-.1em" alt="" /> <a href="/User:Aaronparecki.com" title="User:Aaronparecki.com">Aaron Parecki</a></span>.

How do I confirm it?</i> </p><blockquote><p>IndieWeb could not send your confirmation mail. Please check your email address for invalid characters. Mailer returned: Unknown error in PHP's mail() function.</p></blockquote> <p>A: There is no email address confirmation or setup on the IndieWeb wiki. This default feature of MediaWiki has not been fully disabled so some remnants of the pages/UI remain which unfortunately report confusing errors. </p><p>E.g. we should disable this page entirely: <a href="/Special:ConfirmEmail" class="new" title="Special:ConfirmEmail (page does not exist)">Special:ConfirmEmail</a> </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="..._more_questions_...">... more questions ...</span></h2> <p>... </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="see_also">see also</span></h2> <ul><li><a href="/why" title="why">why</a> <ul><li><a href="/Why_web_sign-in" title="Why web sign-in">Why web sign-in</a> <ul><li><a href="/Why_web_sign-in#Why_not_Open_ID" title="Why web sign-in">Why not Open ID</a> <ul><li><a href="/Why_web_sign-in#Why_not_OpenID_on_your_own_site" title="Why web sign-in">Why not OpenID on your own site</a> <ul><li><a href="/Why_web_sign-in#Why_not_OpenID_directly_on_your_domain" title="Why web sign-in">Why not OpenID directly on your domain</a></li> <li><a href="/Why_web_sign-in#Why_not_OpenID_delegation" title="Why web sign-in">Why not OpenID delegation</a></li></ul></li> <li><a href="/Why_web_sign-in#Why_not_both_OpenID_and_Web_sign-in" title="Why web sign-in">Why not both OpenID and Web sign-in</a></li> <li><a href="/Why_web_sign-in#Why_not_consume_OpenID" title="Why web sign-in">Why not consume OpenID</a></li></ul></li> <li><a href="/Why_web_sign-in#Why_not_email" title="Why web sign-in">Why not email</a></li></ul></li></ul></li> <li><a href="/how" title="how">how</a></li> <li>...</li></ul> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="See_Also_2">See Also</span></h2> <ul><li><a href="/developer_FAQ" title="developer FAQ">developer FAQ</a></li></ul>    </div> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ&oldid=99228">https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ&oldid=99228</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks catlinks-allhidden" data-mw="interface"></div> </div> </main> </div> <div class="mw-footer-container"> <footer id="footer" class="mw-footer" role="contentinfo" > <ul id="footer-info"> <li id="footer-info-lastmod"> This page was last edited on 24 December 2024, at 01:56.</li> <li id="footer-info-copyright">Content is available under <a href="/IndieWebCamp:Copyrights" class="mw-redirect" title="IndieWebCamp:Copyrights">a CC0 public domain dedication</a> unless otherwise noted.</li> </ul> <ul id="footer-places"> <li id="footer-places-privacy"><a href="/IndieWeb:Privacy_policy">Privacy policy</a></li> <li id="footer-places-about"><a href="/IndieWeb:About">About IndieWeb</a></li> <li id="footer-places-disclaimers"><a href="/IndieWeb:General_disclaimer">Code of Conduct</a></li> </ul> <ul id="footer-icons" class="noprint"> <li id="footer-copyrightico"><a href="http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"><img src="https://i.creativecommons.org/p/zero/1.0/88x31.png" alt="a CC0 public domain dedication" width="88" height="31" loading="lazy"></a></li> <li id="footer-poweredbyico"><a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/"><img src="/wiki/resources/assets/poweredby_mediawiki_88x31.png" alt="Powered by MediaWiki" srcset="/wiki/resources/assets/poweredby_mediawiki_132x47.png 1.5x, /wiki/resources/assets/poweredby_mediawiki_176x62.png 2x" width="88" height="31" loading="lazy"></a></li> </ul> </footer> </div> </div> </div> <div class="vector-settings" id="p-dock-bottom"> <ul> <li> <button class="cdx-button cdx-button--icon-only vector-limited-width-toggle" id=""><span class="vector-icon mw-ui-icon-fullScreen mw-ui-icon-wikimedia-fullScreen"></span> <span>Toggle limited content width</span> </button> </li> </ul> </div> <script>(RLQ=window.RLQ||[]).push(function(){mw.config.set({"wgBackendResponseTime":274,"wgPageParseReport":{"limitreport":{"cputime":"0.022","walltime":"0.025","ppvisitednodes":{"value":130,"limit":1000000},"postexpandincludesize":{"value":448,"limit":2097152},"templateargumentsize":{"value":49,"limit":2097152},"expansiondepth":{"value":4,"limit":100},"expensivefunctioncount":{"value":0,"limit":100},"unstrip-depth":{"value":0,"limit":20},"unstrip-size":{"value":0,"limit":5000000},"timingprofile":["100.00% 5.394 1 -total"," 60.86% 3.283 1 Template:aaronpk"," 35.07% 1.892 1 Template:emojicon"," 33.02% 1.781 1 Template:sparkline"]},"cachereport":{"timestamp":"20250308071902","ttl":86400,"transientcontent":false}}});});</script> </body> </html>
