Indiewebxyz

Indieweb(.)xyz (archived) was a syndication service organized into subs until ~2023-02-26 at least, similar to Reddit, created by Kicks Condor.

All interaction with the site, such as linking and upvoting, was performed by Webmention. Discussion happens on blog posts themselves, as per Indieweb convention. For more, see:

The domain appears to have been lost sometime after 2023-02-26. It's redirecting to an architecture firm in San Francisco as of 2023-10-19.

Rationale

The project was inspired by IndieNews, which syndicates essays and links relevant to the Indieweb. It acted like a planet, but one where anyone can participate. Indieweb.xyz opened the concept up to any topic. It's as if you can create ad-hoc planets for any topic or community.

Indieweb.xyz takes the approach that self-promotion of your blog is not bad, it's necessary in order to find an audience when you're starting out or tackling new subjects.

However, you could only submit a particular link to one sub on the entire site. If the same link is submitted to other subs, these are treated like "cross-posts" and are hidden by default on most subs.
