[manton] Hi everyone! I've launched the ActivityPub support in Micro.blog, based on custom domain names, so that people can use their blog hosted on Micro.blog as their Mastodon identity as well. Thanks for everyone's thoughts and help as I worked on this. https://manton.org/2018/11/07/microblog-mastodon.html
#
swentel wow, that's pretty cool
#
[manton] Thanks!
#
sknebel woah

#
[dave] [manton] obvs mastodon is one of the more popular ActivityPub implementations, just curious if you've tested support with any others as well

#
[manton] [dave] Mostly just Mastodon testing, plus [aaronpk]'s site a little. I've found testing to be pretty difficult... Maybe next step is testing with Pleroma or PixelFed or Microblog.pub. Happy to hear suggestions.
#
[dave] No suggestions, I just like asking questions.
#
aaronpk heh wish I could help test more, but I have no need to follow ppl's micro.blog accounts via activitypub
#
swentel yeah, waiting for pixelfed to release their implementation :)
#
snarfed [manton]: bridgy fed!
#
aaronpk don't worry, pixelfed federation will be done soon
#
swentel that sounds ironic ;)

Loqi Just generated the first draft of this week's newsletter! https://indieweb.org/this-week/2018-11-09.html I'll generate a draft again tomorrow, so please add to it before then! https://indieweb.org/this-week#How_to
#
aaronpk false alarm ^^
#
plindner[m] Has anyone considered setting up a indieweb collective Domain Name Registrar? If we all banded together we could all get bulk discounts... (this is after I actually added up how much I'm spending on domains / year...)
#
snarfed plindner[m]: you mean a literal domain registrar? or just a group for bulk purchasing?
#
snarfed i expect an actual registrar would be prohibitively expensive and time consuming
#
plindner[m] EIther I suppose.
#
plindner[m] ICANN requirements are pretty specific, so maybe yes.
#
snarfed if/when i get to that point, i'll probably prefer to prune down instead :P but that's just me
#
plindner[m] At some point I might bring this up to the membership of https://social.coop as a potential service they could offer. For now I'm looking at https://ecobytes.net as a potential hoster.
#
jalcine yeah I think the price to just _apply_ to be a registrar is like a car ($35k)

#
[dave] I feel like this is the tech version of the start of a lot of episodes of Bar Rescue. Like it ends up just being an excuse for more domain names and the actual registrar part kinda falls apart.
