best nine is a popular aggregation and summary post practice on Instagram, supported by services like https://2017bestnine.com/ (archived, now taken over) which only ask you for your username then return a 3x3 grid of your 9 most liked photos of the year, a photo-specific Year in Review.

Indieweb BestNine

A basic implementation of BestNine for indieweb sites was put together by Ruxton and is hosted at https://bestnine.indieweb.app/. (source code)

To use it you must have support for:

• rel=next/rel=prev
• microformats2
• like

• Brainstorming: It should be possible to build an indieweb version into your own site, or even a service that asked for an indieweb site URL, checked all photo posts from the past year, created a grid of the top 9 posts by number of likes. Advantage: more total likes from backfeeds and indieweb sites. Extra credit: detect if site delegates webmention receiving to webmention.io or herokuapp, call its API for likes
