- "where to put a post?" https://indieweb.org/URL_design
- If you're on a single post, there's no link to all the posts of that day (or month)
Jacob asked about having a feed aggregator feature on his own website (not login protected)
- https://indieweb.org/reader#Why_integrated_personal_reader
- if it's going to be public, block it with a robots.txt
- especially ok if it's "just" links and names of posts
Example of public aggregator feed for indieweb topic: https://stream.indieweb.org/
