Some interest overlap with the Fediverse? - IndieWeb sites implement features traditionally found on corporate social media (called here "siloses", which also is true).
IndieWeb of course involves owning your data, but...
Thanks to the IndieWeb developers,
Webmention permits you to use your blog to reply to posts on other blogs,
and also to repost, like and favorite them,
Micropub makes your website accesible to making these actions (and of course, reading posts) via social readers, which blur the line between feed reader and your regular social media app,
IndieAuth allows you to log into other sites using credentials from your site,
Your website can be subscribed via WebSub,
Post may be of different types - linked in another comment of mine.
Long story short - IndieWeb blurs the line between traditional blogging and social media - getting more social features, but without relying on silos of corporate social media, on your Fediverse instance provider, or on Mastodon monoculture. Both IndieWeb and the Fediverse pursue similar goals, but with somewhat different (although open-source) protocols. Many types of content supported by IndieWeb microformats and types may be IMHO inspiring for the next big Fediverse project. And, of course, both IndieWeb and the Fediverse would benefit greater interoperation between each other.
