Stumbleupon is indeed missing in the modern algorithmic curation world.

The same concept, but for funny web gems (with a strong skew towards little WebGL art toys): https://sharkle.com

Neat. I maintain a blog myself[1] and prefer reading content written by actual human beings, not corporate shills or spammers masquerading on Medium and Dev.to.
But I feel like the whole indie web thing hasn’t taken off because of discoverability issues. RSS and Atom are nice, but they aren’t mainstream enough. Also, adding support for them is difficult for non-technical or even semi-technical people.
My blog does support RSS, and I use a reader to keep tabs on people I find interesting. But personally, I’m not a great fan of the protocol itself. It’s old, written in XML. There is JSON RSS, but that’s not widely supported and is fragmented as hell. Also, most RSS readers are just firehose feeds and don’t offer much in terms of organization.
I’m yet to find a solution for this that I genuinely like.

Pretty cool. I re-discovered RSS last year after getting tired of the usual mdoern "smart" feeds. For me, the only problem with independent small blogs is the discovery stage: you need to somehow to find out about an interesting blog, which is even harder if you want go out of your usual info-bubble.

Neat, my site is on the list but don’t remember if I submitted it before. I made some notes on implementing IndieWeb WebMentions here [1]. It’s like a decentralised/psuedo-fediverse commenting system that features replies and likes etc.

And the very first blog I get is "written for generative AI." Great. Grand. Awesome.

Great, now who is going to bring back web rings?
Discoverability remains the one great problem of online self-publishing. A history of how solutions have changed over the years would make for a fun history of the web.
