# Loqi [superfeedr] "First post to micro.blog" by Chris Aldrich on 2017-04-28 http://boffosocko.com/2017/04/27/first-post-to-micro-blog/
# gRegorLove Re: micro.blog "The timeline covers the last few days. Because the real content lives on other web sites, there's no need to store everything on Micro.blog itself. This keeps everything lightweight and fast."
# gRegorLove Does that mean http://c.micro.blog/2017/04/28/finally-checking-out.html will go away in a few days? It's syndicated from boffosocko.com

# [chrisaldrich] gRegorLove: That URL in particular is a hosted blog, so the content will live there forever. I think he's talking about if I were to map my self-hosted blog over, and then that would disappear from their "stream" eventually knowing that the content physically lives on my own site.
# [chrisaldrich] Eventually I'll switch over to my own hosted site, but like you mentioned before, I wanted to see what the UI/UX was for the hosted side.
# [chrisaldrich] gRegorLove, I'm curious where you saw that quote, I don't think I'd run across it and I was curious how he was planning on handling the long term portion, particularly for search.

# [tamaracks] Hello. I’m having some trouble with the IndieWeb WordPress plugin. A few of the plugins/extensions are activated in WordPress, but aren’t recognized by the IndieWeb plugin, as in it tells me they aren’t installed on its Extensions list.
# gRegorLove [chrisaldrich]: It's on https://micro.blog/about
[chrisaldrich] joined the channel
# [chrisaldrich] tamaracks did you install them through the Indieweb plugin, or separately?
# [tamaracks] Separately. It’s not easy/recommended by my host (NearlyFreeSpeech) to use WordPress, because of FTP. But it wasn’t a problem with most of the plugins. I think it’s because the plugins I’m having trouble with are not hosted on wordpress.org.
# [chrisaldrich] thanks gRegorLove
# gRegorLove Hm, April 25 and 26 events showing up in the newsletter
# gRegorLove Oh, recent, not upcoming.
# [chrisaldrich] tamaracks I haven't seen/heard of that issue before. Even if the IndieWeb plugin doesn't recognize that they're installed, you should be fine as long as they're there and activated.
# [tamaracks] Ok. I just wasn’t sure if there were any settings I’d be missing, since some of the plugins showed up under IndieWeb in the menu on the left.
# [chrisaldrich] That plugin is meant to help make it easier to get the half dozen related plugins a bit quicker and easier.
# [tamaracks] I haven’t quite figured out what these all do yet, in order to test them. ?
# [chrisaldrich] many of them don't have settings: webmention, micropub, semantic linkbacks
# [chrisaldrich] a few others like bridgy publish and post kinds do have settings and they should appear under the indieweb tab.
# [chrisaldrich] If you haven't found it https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started_on_WordPress should be mostly up to date about the details for setting things up in at least a rudimentary way.
# [tamaracks] I haven’t figured out brid.gy yet. I don’t quite get the interactions between it and Jetpack.
# [tamaracks] Yeah, I’ve been following that.
# [chrisaldrich] Jetpack is usually used to /POSSE (or syndicate) content from your site to other sites like Twitter and Facebook.
# [chrisaldrich] Brid.gy helps you /backfeed your likes and comments from Twitter and Facebook back to your site
# [chrisaldrich] If you use it, Bridgy Publish can help you to do the syndication as well.
# [tamaracks] Like I get a message in brid.gy “Warning: your blog’s current webmention endpoint is https://www.darkglass.org/?rest_route=/webmention/1.0/endpoint. If you want Bridgy to handle your blog’s webmentions, change it to https://brid.gy/webmention/wordpress.” But I’m not sure if that has to do with syndication or backfeed.
# [chrisaldrich] Are you accidentally clicking on the WordPress.com button?
# [chrisaldrich] For bridgy and a wordpress.ORG set up you should only be configuring the Twitter, Facebook, et al. buttons (and NOT the wordpress.com one)
# [chrisaldrich] I would hope that https://indieweb.org/WordPress_with_Bridgy is mostly complete by now, but let me know if you have problems following that.
# [tamaracks] Well, I did click on wordpress.com to log in, because I didn’t see any other way, but it lets you choose the self-hosted site (linked to wordpress.com as part of Jetpack) as part of the setup.
# gRegorLove On Bridgy, you want to click on the services you want to get /backfeed from, like Twitter or Facebook
# [chrisaldrich] If you're self-hosing wordpress, just use the social media silo buttons to connect the services. You shouldn't use the wordpress.com button.
# gRegorLove You're connecting Bridgy to those services, then it monitors them and sends webmentions back to your site
# [tamaracks] Okay, I’ll try logging in that way on Bridgy.
# gRegorLove You can connect as many or as few services as you want
# gRegorLove Each is its own authorization really, rather than a "Bridgy account"
# [tamaracks] Ah ha.
# [tamaracks] That might be what I was missing.
# gRegorLove It is a little confusing at first, especially since it's common to see "Log in to our site with Twitter, FB, x, y, z"
# [tamaracks] Yeah.
# [chrisaldrich] bridgy will match the rel-me links on your site with the rel-me on the social silos to authenticate you with IndieAuth.
# [tamaracks] So is the Publishing setting on bridgy what would be the syndication part? And that is what could also be handled by Jetpack?
# [chrisaldrich] yes, you'd use either bridgy's publish functionality, jetpack publicize, or something like SNAP to POSSE your posts to other services.
# [tamaracks] Ok, thanks. I think that’s starting to make more sense. ?
# [chrisaldrich] sounds like you're more than halfway there already!
# gRegorLove snarfed: Bridgy idea - instead of "Get started" and icons, maybe "I want to get replies from: [icon]"
# gRegorLove So it's more explicit what they're doing, not just signing into a Bridgy account
# [tamaracks] Yeah. The sign in/log out thing kind of makes it seem like they are bridgy accounts that should converge if they are all you.
# [chrisaldrich] tamaracks Bridgy will also let you take backfeed from one (or more) twitter account and send the webmentions to both a wordpress site and a kirby site; it's not always necessarily 1-1
# [tamaracks] It makes sense. It just some of the terminology led my impressions in a different direction.
# [tamaracks] Also possible that I skim too much. ?
# [chrisaldrich] Sometimes I think it makes more sense if you've done something like used your own domain name to log in to something like the indieweb wiki first. Bridgy is another step beyond that that almost seems like "magic" in comparison

# [chrisaldrich] tamaracks Did you get bridgy working?
[tamaracks] joined the channel
# [tamaracks] I think so. Although I haven’t tested it yet.
# [tamaracks] Not sure how to make sure it works, exactly. I left syndication off for now, because I’m not yet sure I want to wholesale post everything to all my social networks. I’m on the east coast, so I think I’m pretty much tapped out for the night. ?

# [chrisaldrich] Has anyone considered or implemented a class along the lines of rel="nomention" as a means of causing their site to specifically NOT mentioning another site on the attached URL? #submention
# [chrisaldrich] I'm thinking of targeting a specific url (of potentially many others on a page which could).
amz3` joined the channel
# [chrisaldrich] Especially in something like WordPress which generally has no other on/off switch or ability to target specific URLS.
# [chrisaldrich] But how many people (besides us) are really reading their logs to see those....
# gRegorLove Search engine indexes too
# [chrisaldrich] rel=nofollow is a similar thing... you don't want to give them the "seo juice" but you want to make it relatively easy UI-wise for your reader to visit the page.
# gRegorLove You could also link an archive.org version I guess, or a donotlink service
# [chrisaldrich] I think it has fallen out of practice to some extent. But there's also a recent rise of using rel= noopener noreferrer for security reasons too.

# aspis1 any Atlas and your other projects glueing small utlilties is the way to go
# aspis1 you guys are way ahead on the social integration very cool!!
