okay ngl and I know this is logged but I do not know how indieweb === webdev
#
jacky
like did they just do a /list web
#
jacky
either way, maybe the site should be the very thing in the topic (like https://indieweb.org/why -> next hwc -> etc etc)

Hello Indieweb~ I got a question about replies/webmentions/POSSE.
#
[jjdelc]
2. Someone replies to the tweet
#
[jjdelc]
1, I POSSE my post to Twitter
#
[jjdelc]
4, How do I reply to the comment?
#
[jjdelc]
3. Bridgy webmentions the reply on my post
#
[jjdelc]
4.b) Reply directly on Twitter, and wait for bridgy to webmention it to my post from 1)
#
[jjdelc]
4.a) New post on my site as a reply to the tweet (POSSE will use Twitter API to indicate tweet reply) - Now I have my content twice on the front page as a new post and later when bridgy catches it and Webmentions it to the original post from 1)

[jjdelc] There are lots of potential ways of doing this: I used custom fragment URLs which brid.gy supports for my WordPress site: https://boffosocko.com/2018/07/02/threaded-conversations-between-wordpress-and-twitter/

[chrisaldrich]
I think aaronpk has done something like this in the past as well. I'm not sure I've run across other versions in the wild. How do others do threaded conversations? I seem to recall someone also having implemented salmentions somewhere too...
#
[jjdelc]
Ah, I didn't think of the threading aspect, I thought of it as a flat list, because I don't get that many replies as to have encounter that, but it is the data structure
citizen_stig joined the channel
#
[jjdelc]
in your case you use WP's comments to POSSEE them to twitter, so the canonical url is the fragmented one
#
[chrisaldrich]
I'm pretty sure I've used 4b as an option on micro.blog which has has better webmention support, but I think brid.gy has a harder time finding second and third level bits of conversation without some help because of Twitter's lack of support.
citizen__ joined the channel
#
[jjdelc]
yes that's my problem, I myself wouldn't know how to climb up the tweets and replies up. Can get unwieldy quite quick
#
[chrisaldrich]
I don't yet have an automatic mechanism for syndicating comments from my WP comment section (though Bridgy publish might work, I've just not tried it), so I POSSE those manually.
#
[chrisaldrich]
It can get a bit hairy if you're trying to do quick back and forth real time conversation on Twitter, but I rarely ever do that.
citizen_stig joined the channel
#
[chrisaldrich]
considers talking ThreadReaderApp into unrolling entire threaded conversations as a micropub client....
#
[chrisaldrich]
I seem to recall having done some quirky gymnastics to get WithKnown to thread conversations back in the day, but it's been ages and I don't recall a good example off hand.

[jjdelc]
I haven't gotten that far into the comments yet, I just wasn't sure what's the best way to display the comments, as double content or as single content, but then that means going to twitter to reply ... (which I do anyway)
citizen__ joined the channel
#
gRegorLove
Not sure I understand the duplicate content in 4a, but I think I do 4b.
kensp joined the channel
#
gRegorLove
Wait, misread 4.
#
gRegorLove
I do 4a. I post a reply with in-reply-to=tweet URL
#
[jjdelc]
in 4a I write directly in my blog a new entry as a reply to the reply. So I get a new reply post. Then bridgy catches that and webmentions
#
[jjdelc]
This is an example, this is my original post https://jj.isgeek.net/2020/06/15-040759/ and this is the reply as described in 4a https://jj.isgeek.net/2020/06/15-220838/ - The content is twice... not a huge problem really
#
[jjdelc]
and now that I see it, by it being its own post it can get webmentions and reactions, I think that makes it more evident
wolftune and citizen_stig joined the channel
#
gRegorLove
which content is twice?
#
[jjdelc]
https://jj.isgeek.net/2020/06/15-040759/ <- here the 2nd comment is my own reply
#
[jjdelc]
Which was really this post https://jj.isgeek.net/2020/06/15-220838/

If I'm replying to my own post, I would do in-reply-to my URL, not the Twitter copy
#
[jjdelc]
this is replying to a twitter reply of your POSSE
#
[chrisaldrich]
[jjdelc] I think the way you've done it is likely the most common pattern I've seen.
#
[jjdelc]
I see, well that's good to know
citizen__ joined the channel
#
[jjdelc]
I wasn't sure if there's a protocol to follow or if this is pushing out the limits of how far can POSSE go
#
[jjdelc]
Thanks guys
#
gRegorLove
Yeah, I've done it often. Bridgy is sending /salmentions to each post in the thread. You could potentially check those URLs to see if you have a local copy and show that instead.
#
[jjdelc]
ah I haven't even peeked at salmons yet
citizen_stig, citize___ and citizen__ joined the channel
#
[chrisaldrich]
I get the general impression that not many sites support salmentions. I used to do it manually in Known for some posts.
#
GWG
[chrisaldrich]: As I said in a different conversations, extensions to webmention haven't gotten much love lately.
citize___ and citizen_stig joined the channel
#
[chrisaldrich]
GWG, I hear tell there's an IndieWebCamp coming up... maybe a session or two for that? And maybe a project for day 2? 😉
#
GWG
[chrisaldrich]: I'm all in on webmentions right now
citizen__ joined the channel
#
gRegorLove
Well, I don't do anything special with them, but in the example [jjdelc] is talking about, visually it looks fine imo
citize___ joined the channel
#
gRegorLove
Means I can show all the public comments on the first post in a thread, even if the permalinks to individual ones sometimes point to Twitter instead of my original
citizen_stig, wolftune and citizen__ joined the channel
#
[chrisaldrich]
What is a thread?
#
Loqi
A reply chain (AKA reply thread) is a list of replies, and replies to those replies, displayed under the original post https://indieweb.org/thread
#
[chrisaldrich]
We definitely need more examples there ^^
#
gRegorLove
oh wow, old page
citize___ and citizen_stig joined the channel
#
aaronpk
I think I know what you're asking
#
aaronpk
Bridgy is promiscuous in what it sends to so you'll see my own tweets as replies to my own posts even tho they're not. I don't have a solution for that
citizen__ joined the channel
#
aaronpk
But if I reply to my own post and posse that to twitter, (like a twitter thread), then my website sends a webmention to itself, and bridgy later sends the webmention for my twitter post, but my site links them up because it knows the bridgy post is a syndication of my own and that's how that duplicate is avoided

What are comments?
#
Loqi
Comments are displayed in the context of an original post, and may be a mix of syndicated reply posts from other sites received via Webmention, as well as locally created comments https://indieweb.org/comments

ok, I added "https://utteranc.es/" to the "See Also" section of /comments https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=70372&oldid=69978

Hey! I'd like to add more indieweb-style things to my static site. Is there a list of things to add somewhere?
#
njha
So far I've marked everything up with microformats, but I'm pretty sure there's more stuff
citizen_stig, citizen__ and citize___ joined the channel
#
jacky
njha: hey!
#
jacky
yeah there's a few things you can get going with
#
jacky
if you want to allow people to interact with your site, you can look into using Webmentions
#
jacky
what are webmentions
#
Loqi
Webmention is a web standard for mentions and conversations across the web, a powerful building block that is used for a growing federated network of comments, likes, reposts, and other rich interactions across the decentralized social web https://indieweb.org/webmentions
#
jacky
^ more on that
#
jacky
when you're ready to set it up; check out https://webmention.app for sending Webmentions and https://webmention.io for receiving them (and getting an API to handle them)
#
jacky
what is getting started
#
Loqi
Get started on the indieweb by connecting with the indiewebcamp community, getting a personal domain, a place for your content, and setting up your home page and other indieweb essentials https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started
#
jacky
a bunch more stuff there, njha ^

#
jacky
also welcome! what's your URL? (I should have asked that first lol)
#
njha
yay thanks for the links :)
#

I'm at https://nikhiljha.com/ - microformats are still in a git branch so the site doesn't do any indieweb stuff right now

Is POSSE simply posting first on your blog, and then duplicating it on social media?
#
b3u
Cool. I guess not every tweet or retweet needs to go on my site.
#
b3u
Should I like to my site in the tweet?

#
aaronpk
up to you, but your post on your site should link to the tweet for sure

aaronpk thanks. That shouldn't be hard to do.

"Using the superpowers available to employees via Facebook's internal tools, you first had to log in using the account of the person who flagged the objectionable post, just to see it. If the post failed the probity test, then you'd use the tools to log in via the account of the offender so you could remove it. Thus violating the privacy of two people."
