Rebuilding Community on the (fujo) Web Resource List
During CitrusCon 2024 in August, Ms. Boba did a talk called "Rebuilding Community on the (fujo)Web" where she talked about the state of today's internet and indie communities, as well as what we, as a community can do to reclaim the web as ours with personal fansites and coding knowledge.
I compiled this resource list from the #meetups channel in the CitrusCon Discord. More info on FujoCoded and their mission for making a better, fanmade web. Please enjoy, and support! More links below.
