I'm presuming it may rely on the Insta cookie which means it stops working when logged out? (similar to your appspot FB/insta feeds?)
#
[snarfed]
[chrisaldrich] that’s it! more details in #indieweb-dev. chrome is unhappy right now but ff should hopefully work
#
[snarfed]
yeah it’ll only work when logged into instagram

(doesn’t need tab open though

Will have to see if this works for me. I have a feeling I know why I wasn't able to see the syndicated copy of my post, though, earlier. I think it's because I had my Twitter API access restricted yesterday.
#
cambridgeport90
Not sure how that happened, probably because of all the IFTTT recipes I have.

What are reels?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "reels" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "reels is ____", a sentence describing the term)

which is our best page on registering a domain from scratch on the wiki?

I've started giving some advice on another channel - xmpp:hbsc@muc.lurk.org - and I realized that the process of finding a registrar (a what?) and adding records (are we going to play music?) don't seem to be documented on our wiki in a simple way
#
petermolnar
and I'm only now realizing that it's a huge topic, which is rather confusing as well

as in "get a domain" is in reality: learn what a registrar is, find one, register a domain, learn what a domain record is, set the records relevant to you

What is domain?
#
Loqi
A personal domain is a domain name that you personally own, control, and use to represent yourself on the internet https://indieweb.org/domain
#
[KevinMarks]
There's some explanation there, but it could be improved
#
Zegnat
I would be very tempted to tell people new to it to find a place that does both domain and hosting. They will often (e.g. with solutions like cPanel) already setup the DNS and help you manage it without a need to touch actual records
#
[Raphael_Luckom]
especially if that place does them separately--e.g. if you move on to new hosting, you can point a cname somewhere without having to move it
