flo<p><span>"May 2025 IndieWeb Carnival Roundup" <br><br>About Small Web communities: <br><br>"I think of them as places where the feeling of knowing someone is ubiquitous. Maybe I’m romanticizing, but I imagine that interacting in a small web community feels like going for a walk through the neighborhood where you lived for many years: you meet people you haven’t seen for quite a while, see others that you never talked to but know for a long time, and meet some new people who just moved there or are just visiting. There is a feeling of being home, and this is what I also want for my online experience." <br><br>"So where do we go now? How do we find people with similar interests in 2025. How do we rebuild small web communities and find each other? Where do the weird, socially awkward teens with highly niche interests go? They probably need this more than me. We need to build something for ourselves, it has started. Blogging is back (it never went away for some), webrings too." <br><br></span><a href="https://thoughts.uncountable.uk/may-2025-indieweb-carnival-roundup/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">thoughts.uncountable.uk/may-2025-indieweb-carnival-roundup/</a><span> <br><br></span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/IndieWeb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndieWeb</a><span> </span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/IndieWebCarnival" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndieWebCarnival</a><span> </span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/SmallWeb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmallWeb</a><span> </span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/Community" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Community</a><span> </span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/Blog" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Blog</a><span> </span><a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/Blogging" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Blogging</a></p>

flo<p><span>"The small web is comprised of people, from all walks of life, all races, abilities, genders, orientations, and more.<br><br>This corner of the web, though, is where I hang out. I don't visit mainstream websites anymore unless the particular person just can't leave their tech silo, but I stay in the small web. I live the niche web. I champion the good web, because it's one of the best examples of what the web could have become years ago. It didn't, so the good web has been sidelined in favor of endless slop. <br>(...) <br>What you'll find in the small web is the communities. These communities continue to build the internet every day.
