#aaronpke.g. it would post repost-of posts with itself as the author?
#aaronpkthat would mean if it reposted one of my posts, it would show up on my post in the repost list, which is kind of neat, but might get annoying if it reposted *all* of my posts
#LoqiA planet, in the context of the indieweb, and blogs/feeds for even longer, is a site that aggregates feeds/updates from a variety of sources, typically focused on a particular topic or community https://indieweb.org/planet
#Loqiok, I added "http://www.planetplanet.org/" to the "See Also" section of /planet

#[eddie]Would you be posting to a planet via syndication link? Because if so, it doesn't seem like sending a repost back to the original post quite seems right..
#aaronpkNo the idea with a planet is you don't post to it, it just copies al your posts
tantek, wolftune and [eddie] joined the channel
#[eddie]Ohhh. Interesting. How does it know to copy your posts? I guess I got confused in an earlier conversation about indienews, indiestream, etc conversation
gRegorLove joined the channel
#aaronpkUsually you sign up or submit your site there once

#gRegorLoveI think if I submitted my site to a planet, I wouldn't necessarily want a "[planet] reposted this" notification on each of my posts.
#gRegorLoveThough I guess if it's going to send webmentions, it's a choice between that and "mentioned this"
#gRegorLoveIs a planet better thought of as a syndication destination, maybe?
#miklbgRegorLove [eddie] helped me figure out my issues with bridgy. I didn't have `u-url` on my permalinks. Thanks again for your help debugging
benwerd joined the channel
#gRegorLoveAh, cool! I noticed when I checked later that they were going through.
#miklbyep. Seems it will only go back 10 permalinks, so won't be able to get all the backfeed, but good going forward
#gRegorLoveYeah, there's a bridgy issue on github about batches. Think it's just in discussion mode for now.
#gRegorLoveYou can manually do the re-try link on older responses though.
#miklbtried that, but still gives a no webmention target ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#miklbnope, I missed a place to add the u-url class. Fixing now
#miklbhmm. didn't seem to change anything. I'll look at it again tomorrow
mlncn, tantek and wolftune joined the channel
#aaronpkYeah I can't decide whether I want "reposted this" or some other indication. Like maybe i show it as a syndication but I don't have to syndicate each post manually
wolftune and [eddie] joined the channel
#[eddie]Kind of like OwnYourSwarm's syndication link?
#[eddie]I guess that's Micropub though and not webmention
#Loqipetermolnar: tantek left you a message 1 week, 3 days ago: would you be able to help make a simultaneous IWC Berlin (or other European city) happen the same weekend at IndieWebSummit in Portland? We did it a few years ago with bnvk organizing and it was great!
hs0ucy, friedcell, singpolyma, snarfed, [eddie], mlncn, benwerd and [kevinmarks] joined the channel
#aaronpkthinking about it overnight, I think "syndication" is the right idea
#aaronpkright now we've mostly manually syndicated things, but there's nothing inherent to the idea of syndication that says it has to be manual
#aaronpkthat might be enough. imagine you receive a webmention from a post on somegazette.example.com and you notice the u-url property is one of your own permalinks. that's pretty sufficient indication that this is a syndication of your own post.
#[kevinmarks]nowadays it's less common, but daring fireball still does it
#sknebelis sending webmentions to syndicated copies a thing, either by accident or intentionally?
#[eddie]I think that makes sense as a syndication notification
#aaronpki was imagining it happening automatically/unintentionally, such as if you used wordpress to host the syndicated blog and it just sent the webmention because you have webmentions turned on
#aaronpkbut it could also be useful as an intentional notification

#sknebel(webmentions for syndicated copies would basically be what bridgy backfeed does, just without an extra service. Could maybe be something the planet does: if it receives a webmention for a post, send a copy of it to the original? (the sender could also do it, but that would mean more parsing work for it, just for this special case)
#Loqi[Jeremy Cherfas] Thanks for the notice. Just checked, and there doesn't seem to be a problem. Maybe it was temporarily unavailable? I've kind of abandoned it, for now, to concentrate on the version I am hosting myself. But I don't want to shut it down until #WithKnow...
#aaronpkokay let's start over. what URL are you trying to send mentions *from*.
#[jeremycherfas]Sorry. I started off trying to check webmention receives. Checkmention wasn’t helping. You suggested Telegraph, and so I tried that. But clearly I misunderstood the function of Telegraph.
#aaronpkthe URL field on telegraph is for sending webmentions from that page
#[jeremycherfas]I now think I understand. It checks the URL you give it for **outgoing** links and tries to send each of them a webmention when you click the button?
#[jeremycherfas]I was trying to see whether my own site could accept webmentions. Clearly, it can.
#sknebel[cleverdevil]: haven't seen anything like that yet. (working against random endpoints there is the issue of cross-origin requests, but for your own site you can of course fix that)
wolftune joined the channel
#[cleverdevil]Yeah, I think the primary use case for Micropub is on endpoints that you control anyway, so setting up CORS wouldn't be all that onerous.
#[jeremycherfas]Aaronpk: The webmention endpoint at jeremycherfas.net works, but it fails to return a status URL. I’ve asked the Grav plugin author whether there’s anything he can do about that.
#aaronpkreturning a status URL isn't required, but some endpoints do that so I added support for it in telegraph
snarfed joined the channel
#[jeremycherfas]So if the enpoint doesn’t return a status URL, there’s no easy way to know whether it is working? I discovered mine was by looking at the data received file, and there it was.
#aaronpkcorrect. the only acknowledgment that you get when you send a webmention is that it was accepted
#aaronpkthe status URL thing is an experiment in providing more details later
#KartikPrabhudoesn't "accepted" already tell you that the endpoint is working?
#aaronpkall "accepted" means is the request was accepted. there are still plenty of failures that can happen later.
#[jeremycherfas]Maybe, but Telegraph specifically says “error” rather than “Accepted but no status URL”
#aaronpkno, you're not receiving webmentions because your site is pointing to a webmention endpoint that doesn't exist
wolftune joined the channel
#[jeremycherfas]Then I am completely mystified, because there is new stuff in the file that I don’t think was there before. Let me try again with a fresh attempt to send a webmention.
#[cleverdevil]So, aaronpk, I am thinking of just making my Nextcloud News plugin talk to Quill, rather than talk to Known's "share" functionality, which would make it useful to anyone with an IndieWeb site.
#[cleverdevil]Its fine, I'll just make my side more flexible.
#miklb_[cleverdevil] will this allow a local install of the news reader, or do you need a public facing URL for it to work?
#[cleverdevil]I think I'll just have four actions, instead of my current five: Reply (`/note?reply=`), Bookmark (`/bookmark?url=`), Like (`/favorite?url=`), and Repost (`/repost?url=`).
#aaronpkwoodwind has similar config options actually
#sknebel[cleverdevil]: you should document what you'd want from an embeddable client, maybe on your user page? sounds like a generally useful thing (e.g. to drop in your own site as well), but I wouldn't be sure right now what it should do
snarfed and mlncn joined the channel
#[cleverdevil]@sknebel cool, I'll maybe do that later today, if I find the time.
#[cleverdevil]Hmm..., is your Known test instance the latest release, or from GitHub?
#aaronpk[chrisaldrich]: i can get monthly numbers. What happened in September?
#[chrisaldrich]Leo Laporte had the majority of an entire This Week in Google episode on Indieweb with Kevin, Ben, and Erin Jo.
#[chrisaldrich]I had heard of indieweb brewing prior to that, but I think for me, that was what brought the pot to a boil, and given that audience, I'll bet it did for others.
#[chrisaldrich]And if the data shows that my guess is right, then how can we leverage those types of exposures to greater benefit?
#tantek2014 was a banner year for both IWCs, and talks that a lot of us gave at various conferences
#[chrisaldrich]Is there a log of past conference talks on the wiki?
#aaronpkwhat are presentations about the indieweb?
#[chrisaldrich]I suppose the other question is can we intuit the possible event drivers for weeks where the numbers were over 40 as the baseline looks to average around 15.
#[chrisaldrich]cleverdevil When your NC experiment is working can you be sure to write it up so we can point some of the corporate feed readers (like Feedly, et al) to both it and woodwind as valuable functionality that they should be supporting? Perhaps it will spur some competition among them?
#tantekSeptember 2014 had a pretty big IWC Brighton IIRC
[cleverdevil] joined the channel
#[cleverdevil]Absolutely. Right now, I'm struggling with what to do with it, since Known's Micropub support is so rough ?
#aaronpk[cleverdevil]: you're using the latest git version right? File issues with any micropub weirdnesses because they are likely small fixes now.
#aaronpkThere's a sort of sense of accomplishment in adding yourself to the wiki too ^^
#[chrisaldrich]I do remember it took me a while to dig through everything to figure it out... Hopefully it's a bit easier now.
#sknebelI had a few times the impression (and have gotten it as feedback from people I've tried to coax to IWCs) that it sometimes comes to early, especially if it is presented as a soft requirement for participating
snarfed joined the channel
#aaronpkYeah that's why we started doing Tito for registration and having the guest list be just a guest list
#[chrisaldrich]Does Upcoming have a checklist feature for indicating people who actually attended? We may want that for events if separate from the wiki.
#gRegorLoveYeah, I'm pretty excited to see Upcoming iterate. Think it's a great start.
#[chrisaldrich]I suppose in one's checkin or follow up blog post with photos or other, they could add webmentions so that the event site could pick up that content...
#aaronpkHe said he's going to merge it soon but hasn't hit the button yet
#aaronpksknebel: good idea with accepting webmentions for syndicated copies!
#aaronpkI feel like that should be a webmention FAQ or something
#snarfedooh yes, guidance on backfeed in the spec would be great
#sknebelhm, there was some talk about shortlinks a while back, that is sort of related

Adding Indieweb interactions to Nextcloud News
I spent some time this past weekend writing up a little plugin for Nextcloud News that enables Indieweb interactions using the excellent Quill. Take a look! #indienews
