Thanks, [kim_landwehr]!

[eddie]
as for the error, I think that’s because Micro.blog’s Favorites are private, so it probably doesn’t return a URL in the Location header, hence the error. I bet if you look in your Micro.blog client, you’ll see the post was favorited. But since Micro.blog favorites are private, I appreciate the post here 🙂

Well I think the first argument it makes is Favorites should be considered Bookmarks, not favorites
#
[eddie]
Then, whether Bookmarks are public or NOT isn’t as big of a concern because you don’t think you are sending a message to someone. Favorite gives the idea that you are communicating something. Bookmark is a personal thing not a communication agent

[eddie]
Ohhhh even worse… I just realized Quill uses the term “Favorite” for like

Micro.blog uses it for Bookmark

Well in that case, Micro.blog didn’t receive the favorite, because it just ignores like posts.

On the favorites/likes/bookmarks discussion, there's a Micropub query extension proposal somewhere for adding "post-types" to q=config. That way, apps can match their UI to the underlying platform. Micro.blog currently returns this: "post-types":[{"type":"note","name":"Post"},{"type":"photo","name":"Photo"},{"type":"bookmark","name":"Favorite"}]
#
Loqi
[aaronpk] #1 Query for supported vocabulary
#
[manton]
I'd love to see this implemented in Micropub clients. I think it's especially important for Microsub readers that present posting options inline.
#
[cleverdevil]
I like how Micro.blog aligns "bookmark" with "favorite."
#
[cleverdevil]
Since that's really what it is.
#
[manton]
The nice thing about that is that if we ever officially rename "Favorite" to "Bookmark" in the M.b UI, other clients will automatically update as well.
#
gRegorLove
what is favorite?
#
Loqi
A favorite is a common webaction on many silos (like Flickr, Twitter), typically visually indicated with a star symbol that fills in with a color when activated (pink, orange). A favorite is similar to but somewhat different from a like https://indieweb.org/favorite
#
gRegorLove
what is bookmark?
#
Loqi
A bookmark (or linkblog) is a post that is primarily comprised of a URL, often title text from that URL, sometimes optional text describing, tagging, or quoting from its contents https://indieweb.org/bookmark
