Micro.blog

Started working on a way to list potentially similar bloggers based on received webmentions (filtering for duplicates) – this is to aid discovery for site visitors looking to find other blogs to try. Very rough and ready but it seems to be working.

I'm undecided whether to limit the 'directory' purely to interactions via webmentions or other types (including other types creates duplicates where someone may have a blog and be on Micro.blog.)

@eli No, it's a separate page template.

@colinwalker this looks like a really lovely idea. I am really enjoying discovering new folk through micro.blog who are talking about and taking forward the Indieweb stuff in a practical way I can follow.

@silviogulizia Hi. I'm self-hosted on WordPress so using the iOS app.

@johnjohnston Yeah, as I wrote yesterday discovery is always hard so anything we can do to make it easier seems a real win.
