#
gRegor Welcome back, vera. o/
#
[Scott_Jack] so if a like must be a post, but you don't want posts to clutter your feed, the thing to do would be to filter your WordPress loop, is that right?
#
[Scott_Jack] Then if someone really wants to see your likes they could look at that specific post kind.
#
vera loop?
#
[snarfed] right
#
vera sorry im not familiar with nomenclature
#
[Scott_Jack] The "Loop" is what Wordpress calls how it gets each post in your feed
#
vera is that like my homepage?
#
aaronpk That's a very specific WordPress dev term
#
[Scott_Jack] Yes, unfortunately. I wish it was easier to filter out what shows on your homepage
cybi joined the channel
#
[Scott_Jack] vera: no need to apologize. I wanted to make sure I had the right idea before I launched into an explanation
#
vera Is there a built in filter thing? I'm pretty technical I could prolly figure it out as long as I don't have to write any code
#
[Scott_Jack] I promise, there was a point where I learned about The Loop and it still makes me cry at night 😉
#
[Scott_Jack] https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop
#
[Scott_Jack] I'm not sure of a way to do it without code. Maybe snarfed or gwg know
#
[snarfed] vera which web server do you use?
#
[Scott_Jack] and sorry, i thought we were in #indieweb-wordpress ... I wouldn't have started that in indieweb if I was paying more attention
#
[snarfed] (I'm on WordPress, I use https://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-category-excluder/, it works well, happy to talk more in #indieweb-wordpress)

Loqi [Marios Alexandrou] Description Ultimate Category Excluder, abbreviated as UCE, is a WordPress plugin that allows you to quickly and easily exclude categories from your front page, archives, feeds, and searches. Just select which categories you want to be excluded, and...
#
vera [snarfed]: thanks for plugin link I'll try it out

#
vera this is irc right? [I'm using web client] what irc client do people use?
#
[fluffy] There's a bunch of gateways into indieweb chat, including web, IRC, Slack, Discord, and Matrix
jacky joined the channel
#
sknebel more details on https://indieweb.org/discuss - personally,if I didnt have a server to run a permanent client on I'd use the bridges to Matrix or Slack. (permanent client = it stays connected so I have access to the backlog, IRC does not have that otherwise)
#
gRegor libera.chat links to some IRC programs too: https://libera.chat/guides/clients I use Hexchat myself
