What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

@The_Picard_Maneuver I sometimes think that the next iteration of "The Indieweb" is "The Fediweb"', with all these sites hooking in to each other using ActivityPub.
WordPress and Ghost already do this, and I'm sure there are more, we just have to reach a critical mass.
What would that look like? Maybe some sort of system where you could assign your site tags (e.g. star trek, linux, cats) and people could navigate by a relevant topic?
Webrings
Yeah, I could imagine it being like a web ring that automatically populates via federation instead of having some central site for the web ring.
@The_Picard_Maneuver Just to give one, rather niche, example...
I haven't used Lemmy in a long time, but I'm assuming you can search for tags.
Try doing a search for #egcc - this account here will pop up, but if you're lucky, so will @mancavgeek .
Congratulations, youve found my small, Fediversified WordPress site.
I picked a tag that pretty much appears on every post there (it's the 4 letter ICAO code for Manchester Airport, where I do most of my planespotting), but there are also tags that identify the subject matter (planespotting, photography, AvGeek, etc).
Ghost does something similar, as well as Plume (RIP), WriteFreely, and others.
This would take WebRings and guest books to a whole new level, allowing 2 way communication between sites across a decentralised W3C spec.
It should be fairly trivial for the people running NeoCities and other cones to setup Federation on the back end, potentially bringing all those sites into Fedi at once.
Does that sound interesting?
I'm not sure if I can search for tags. I just tried and nothing came up, but it's also possible that the search function in the mobile app I'm using isn't the full search.
Very cool idea though!
