Surf Social Websites

What it does

Social websites unite conversations around everything from popular podcasts to shared interests and hobbies. Each social website is powered by a Surf feed, with sources, filters and moderation controlled by the creator. This new model decentralizes the value of social media, giving power back to the millions of independent creators and communities that, until now, have been stuck in walled gardens. Examples include verge.surf.social wired.surf.social and filmfeed.surf.social

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
