Community for the appreciation and sharing of links, resources, and culture of: the smol web / small web / ~(w)~ / the indie web / or even the non-www internet (gemini, gopher, etc).

Back of a napkin definition, subject to change: if it's internet accessible and is maintained by a person, especially for non-commercial aims, then I would consider it smol. There are, however, much stricter definitions.

Has anyone had experience with the tildeverse? (slrpnk.net)

As the title asks, has anyone here had experience with it? I saw it mentioned once on lemmy and I was intrigued, but I don't quite understand what do you actually do on a specific tilde, how do you choose which tilde to sign up to and what makes them a "-verse", because they all seem to be rather disconnected from each other?

"tildes are pubnixes in the spirit of tilde.club, which was created in 2014 by paul ford.

member status in the tildeverse mainly involves some level of engagement or presence on irc; all other systems are independent." - from their website.

It seems that the -verse comes from the protocol standard and that they share a common chat channel.

I'm on the original (dev-hosted) forum. Users are nice but the format isn't as good as lemmy. Great Minecraft server, though.
