#
[Michael_Beckwit i’m assuming there’s no sort of official merchandise shop
#
[Michael_Beckwit i wouldn’t mind a teeshirt 😄
#
aaronpk we do have t-shirts, but not set up with a shop yet :)
#
[Michael_Beckwit is there a method that i could make a donation in exchange?

[chrisaldrich] [Michael_Beckwith] while you're waiting for new episodes you might try [macgenie]'s Micro Monday which is great and very indieweb in flavor. https://monday.micro.blog/

#
[Michael_Beckwit ooh will check out

#
DanC micro.blog looks kinda cool, but I don't see how to use my own domain name there.

#
[Jeannie] Also, if you already have a blog outside of micro.blog, you can use that feed with micro.blog by going to account>feeds and crossposting and adding your existing feed to your account.

aaronpk woohoo! finally -- after 3 years -- I gave myself a UI to manage my home page "conference mode" feature!
#
Loqi 😊

#
[tantek] what is conference mode?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "conference mode" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "conference mode is ____", a sentence describing the term)
wolftune joined the channel
#
aaronpk conference mode is when you make your home page temporarily show different content than normal during an event, such as showing only posts with the conference's hashtag
#
Loqi ok
#
aaronpk ok added myself as an example there along with a screenshot of the UI :)

#
Loqi aaronpk has 29 karma in this channel over the last year (227 in all channels)
#
[tantek] Is it semi-automatic? Ie triggered by start end times of your conference /RSVP or /event posts?
#
[tantek] I suppose there might need to be a way to publish or express (even as an FYI) “the” conference hashtag
#
aaronpk it's manual still for now
#
aaronpk i've found that I actually want to give it a list of hashtags in addition to the event's hashtags
#
aaronpk I could put that in the event post somewhere, but that's a bit more involved
wolftune, fauno_, BigShip[m], awolf and bengo[m] joined the channel
#
[tantek] Could add them as hashtags (via category markup), and maybe make “the” event specific tag the first one in the list?

chrisaldrich A somewhat old, but still interesting academic paper on alternative social media from 2015: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2056305115604338 (thanks @jackjamieson)
