Ok I think I have it mostly figured out now. All my posting (posts, notes, and replies) goes to my website first, then gets syndicated elsewhere — currently only Mastodon. My site remains the authority for the things I post, and it receives backfeeds for interactions that take place elsewhere. I think I’m starting to get the hang of this IndieWeb thing. You know what that means, right? A blog post (or more!) is brewing… #indieWeb #posse #blog (https://ilye.ss/notes/202609250043/)

It happened again. A recent update of #Firefox reenabled sponsored stories on the home page. Not cool! Dear Firefox, please stop messing with my settings. (https://ilye.ss/notes/202609261153/)

Is it me or the #Linux kernel has been getting a lot more updates in the recent months? Not complaining at all, though. I’m so here for it! #openSource (https://ilye.ss/notes/202609261207/)

I’m kind of jealous of those of you on a #Mastodon instance with #Markdown support. (https://ilye.ss/notes/202609262230/)

I heard Reddit is dropping all RSS feeds. That’s a shame! :( #reddit #rss (https://ilye.ss/notes/202609302117/)

Hey IndieWeb folks! Quick question on handling replies to POSSE'd posts: Do you reply on your own site and syndicate back, or just reply on the external platform and let the backfeed do its thing? Curious what works best for everyone. #indieweb #indie #blog

A message to our new friends: 1. Don’t use your Twitter password for your #mastodon account. Reusing passwords is always a bad idea. A password manager is your friend here. 2. Set up your 2FA. You can do this from the browser or from within the official mobile app under Settings &gt; Account Settings. #security
