[snarfed] [Jamie_Tanna] has the honor of one of the first visible Reddit webmentions I've seen so far: https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/09/01/against-online-tooling/#webmentions (scroll down and expand the _Interactions with this post_ section)
jacky, nertzy, gxt and gRegor joined the channel
#
[fluffy] [snarfed] the webmentions to my site on https://www.reddit.com/r/C_Programming/comments/guhwav/lpt_use_poll_never_select/ are somewhat older than that
gxt, rvalue, mro, [marksuth], tetov-irc, nertzy, bterry1 and sebbu joined the channel
#
[snarfed] [fluffy] sorry, should have clarified, this is a different project, not Bridgy. I'm currently sending wms for all Reddit posts ever, not just people who have signed up for Bridgy
#
[snarfed] (and not in chronological order)

#
[Jamie_Tanna] Snarfed thanks! What'd be interesting as a future one is whether we can see self posts / comments referencing posts? Not sure how difficult that'd be as a change tho!
#
[Jamie_Tanna] Ie https://www.reddit.com/r/softwaretesting/comments/9v4feu/blog_post_why_you_should_be_unit_testing_your would probably be my 😁
#
[Jamie_Tanna] *my first
#
[snarfed] [Jamie_Tanna] you mean finding links in post text, like Bridgy does, and not just the explicit post links themselves? sure! definitely possible

#
[Jamie_Tanna] Yes exactly - happy to share some other examples if helpful!

#
[snarfed] a couple now at the bottom of https://aaronparecki.com/2020/06/14/14/how-to-leave-facebook#mentions too
#
[snarfed] they're pretty minimal since I'm not using proxy source pages with artificially injected mf2. maybe I should 🤷

#
[fluffy] Interesting. I wonder if I’ll be receiving any even older mentions from Reddit then.
#
[fluffy] Also how does the hacker news progress go?
#
[fluffy] My site has definitely been mentioned on HN a few times but I haven’t received any mentions yet.
#
[snarfed] hmm! I don't see any sent from HN to beesbuzz.biz
#
[snarfed] it's best effort only, not perfect, but I do have your wm endpoint discovered. not sure what happened
#
[snarfed] ah, I used the BigQuery HN dataset, and it looks like it's only 2006-2016. https://console.cloud.google.com/bigquery?d=hacker_news&page=dataset&ws=!1m4!1m3!3m2!1sbigquery-public-data!2shacker_news
#
[snarfed] I'll backfill 2016-present

#
angelo are there names for a) sending a webmention on behalf of someone else and b) doing so in large numbers (as snarfed has done here)
#
[schmarty] Snitchmentions 😏😏
#
aaronpk lol
#
aaronpk the concept of "on behalf of someone else" doesn't really apply because there is no guarantee of the identity of the sender in the first place

#
[tantek]4 all webmentions are unauthenticated
#
capjamesg aaronpk That deserves to be quoted on the wiki.
#
[tantek]4 pretty sure it's somewhere in the spec, maybe security considerations?

#
[tantek]4 hmm, that's not a repeat [fluffy]?
#
[snarfed] 😎😎
#
[fluffy] sigh
#
[fluffy] This seems to happen every time I refresh my outgoing mentions. Something's not tolerating update notifications correctly.
#
sknebel hah, good comedic timing with the previous discussion :D
#
[fluffy] As far as I can tell the problem is with the indienews webmention endpoint.
#
aaronpk not sure what you mean. that appears to be the first time indienews has received a webmention for that post, by URL and by name
