It's called POSSE, acronym for Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere
For starters: https://indieweb.org/POSSE

I'm contemplating never to log in again to the bird site, even from before this rich-man-wants-to-control-the-digital-world drama - Logged out two weeks ago and thanks to Indieweb's POSSE I haven't had to actually interact manually with it anymore, all while still being "present" there.

I really wish I could join, but work responsibilities will make it a little tricky to attend fully. I can drop by over my lunch break just to say hi and hand over some little token of my thankfulness of what you all do for the Indieweb.

Hi Tilman, about the "unfurl" URLS - I must admit I'm not sure entirely how it works. The Known CMS I use was prepared mostly by Marcus Povey (https://github.com/mapkyca) and was build by other developers. I only changed the template a bit. I will have a look in the source code and see if I can dig up how it works.
There is also an article here about what "unfurling" is about https://indieweb.org/link-preview

All of the Known source code can be found here: https://github.com/idno/known

Update:

So as I understand it, the Known PHP system will parse through post body content and it will find URLS to external sites. The application will then do a get request to the external link and it will parse the response it will get back and it will look for any "schematic" data it can find, mostly micro-formats.

The Indieweb wiki page on Bookmark (https://indieweb.org/bookmark) does not refer to how to organize bookmarks really. It comes down to personal preference obviously. I'm using the "bookmarks" in Known CMS as a form of "read later" functionality or this "is interesting". When I actively want to endorse something I "like" the thing so it gets a little boosted. Being to sort bookmarks in folders in a browser feels a little old-school. Wondering if Brave allows organizing bookmarks using tags?

@ochtendgrijs Ik heb een eigen website en vertrouw op voor interactie en ik zou niet meer zonder kunnen. Was is je eigen website?

This is a really to the point short roundup of why Indieweb rocks - the beginning is a bit too _boring_ with many pictures of tunnels for some reason - but otherwise very ominous and cool graphics stolen from other sites! Do Decentralization next please. Very again. So be warned.

@jbaert Ben een fan. Kende je het Indieweb eigenlijk al? Een intro: https://indiewebify.me/

@MrChuckD Thank you for adding good reasons to join the movement: https://indieweb.org/

Welcome to the IndieWeb Tomáš! Cool set up.

Johan Bové

Thanks for the write-up on the Indieweb principles Desmond. Looking forward to the other posts in the series.
I did notice that the initial link to your previous post is not working. It seems the URL is wrong. Shouldn't it be this: https://desmondrivet.com/2019/12/08/intro-to-indie-web ?

@CharlieRoseMari This is really cool. Going to try to set Indieweb PESOS up with my Pocket account as well. Thanks for sharing the explanation and the idea.

James Tomasino wrote about his experience with implementing Webmentions on his Gopher blog.
To bridge my webmention from HTTP to Gopher, I'm web-mentioning his post through the Floodgap Gopher proxy. If you're using Lynx or another Gopher-capable browser, open his post here: gopher://gopher.black:70/phlog/20191223-webmentions-and-microsub

@IndieScripter @ChrisAldrich 's website is a work of art and has been really inspiring for my IndieWeb setup. Actually the Indieweb community in general is super nice and helpful.

Hi Ryan, First of all, congratulations with your blog and gopher site / hole.

I discovered your writings just today on "republic". It's pretty cool how you managed to create and syndicate your notes and posts from Gopher to the WWW, and I was therefor wondering if you had heard of the Indieweb before? I think that on the wiki at https://indieweb.org you'll find lot of like-minded people and some introductions to indieweb tools likes webmentions and how to syndicate your content to other platforms if you wanted to.

In regard to "email tracking"; for commercial publishers this is their bread-and-butter, without knowing the statistics on how many readers and visitors their sites have, they can't convince new business to invest with them. So I'm afraid email tracking will be here for a long time still. Some publishers do offer a txt-only variant of their newsletters, and when they do, I opt in for that. And I avoid any tracking query parameters for any linked content.

@iandevlin I feel your pain. Why don't you try something different? Like twtxt?
> twtxt is a decentralised, minimalist microblogging service for hackers.

@iandevlin Your site at https://iandevlin.com/ seems to be missing some "Indieweb" lovin' - see: https://indiewebify.me/validate-rel-me/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fiandevlin.com

Ihr redet über das "reply" (https://indieweb.org/reply) und das ist tatsächlich so gedacht das diese Replies in eine eigene Kategorie untergeordnet werden sollten damit "follower" die getrennt anschauen könnten. Ich antworte über mein "Known" CMS server instance und bin jetzt gespannt wie es so bei euch ankommt. Ihr beiden habt sehr coole sites übrigens!
