#22This is an amazing project, alternative domain “the-indiex”
ha now I wish I had thought of that.

#23Any chance you can put https://hnarcade.com on there?
I saw it in the submissions - seems like it fits.

#24I love this so much. I believe there is a sea of valuable blogs being buried in google search indexing weird SEO rules, and whatever crawling the AI systems are doing. We need to preserve the actual human generated content that predates AI. Wishing you huge success, thank you!

#25As the internet gets filled with AI slop, these kind of indexes of real human thought are going to become more important.
The Internet was mostly slop before LLMs. While LLM automation can increase it by orders of magnitude, we've long needed curated indexes.

#26Now we just need theindexindex (an index of indices of indie web/blog indexes).
It would just have one link to this site.

#27This is a tangent, but what I'd really like to see is for a "movement" of sorts where site owners explicitly only allow Kagi* as the only crawler for their site.
A way of saying "you know what, I've seen what Google has wrought, but they had some good ideas and utility at the start so I'd like Kagi to still crawl my site but no one else".
I don't know if that's even technically possible.
* I say Kagi here since they're the most prominent one I know of that are thinking about this problem. I am aware that that they too can change in the future.

I don't understand why you'd want to advocate for creating a new monopoly. Having a rich, diverse market of competing search engines would be the ideal.

That's part of my point. We already tried a rich, diverse market of competing search engines and it still ended up in a monopoly. In fact I would argue it was inevitable.
At least this way the site owners get to choose their monopoly master. So in a way it's democratized. If Google can be blocked successfully (big IF), then Kagi can as well if they change their tune.

#30I maintain a similar index-of-indexes but it's intentionally non-curated, restricted to indexes that use the OPML format, and uses autodiscovery to expand the list. The site needs some work, but it's up to 356 indexes.

I'd recommend looking at anything with "planet" in the name, there are a bunch of tech communities that manage community feeds and they are high quality. There are also a ton of personal blogroll recommendations via micro.blog too.
