Building community out of strangers (2023)

Nice, I tried something similar but crowd sourced.

https://tuhat.net/external

Lists chronological posts from everyone that anyone on tuhat adds as an external source. So you can find new writers and the platform can benefit the greater indie web, not just people that use it to post their own content.

The idea started by scratching my own itch as I wanted to read external blogs inside my tuhat /reading view, then I figured why not make it a global discovery feature.

Independent web platforms should want to improve the decentralized nature of the web, not necessarily capture all people for themselves.

I do it with a “notes” section that is effectively tweets. I share quotes and short posts there, and the occasional list of interesting posts I have enjoyed in the last weeks.

I really like the slow blogging revival. “Cozyweb” is a fitting term for it.

Human curation is such a luxury. I try to share mine whenever I can. I love getting other people’s playlists and maps. Blogrolls are another type of human curation I seek whenever I find someone whose taste I like.
