lockywolf What is a blue checkmark?
# 
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "blue checkmark" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "blue checkmark is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# lockywolf What is it for?
# Loqi A verified profile or identity is one that has been confirmed by either an algorithm (like rel-me) or an authority (usually a silo) as belonging to a particular entity like a person or organization, or another independent website, and often indicated with a colored checkmark next to its name https://indieweb.org/verified
# lockywolf gRegor: but who would want that and why?
# lockywolf Which RSS collector services would people here recommend? I am using tt-rss, but I can't say it has a particularly friendly developer community. Also I do not know much php.
# lockywolf And its Android app does not have notifications.

# Loqi A social reader is a modern interactive reader that allows you to directly respond to posts (with a like, comment, etc) right there inline with posts as you read them (as people do in social media), in contrast to legacy feed readers which were one-way read-only experiences and provided no mechanisms to interact with or respond to posts https://indieweb.org/social_reader

[tantek] more IndieWeb thinking: https://twitter.com/RdotSpoon/status/1587206306670161920
# 
@RdotSpoon Just a reminder, if you are selling a thing or have a thing to share, set up a website and a newsletter. We saw Vine disappear overnight and tumblr fall flat on its face. Have a home base where people can still find you and your THING, when social media eats it. (twitter.com/_/status/1587206306670161920)

# jboy lockywolf: miniflux is easy to self-host and works great
# lockywolf jboy: miniflux is... very-very basic
# lockywolf Loqi: you are such a helpful bot!
# jboy shrugs
# jboy It does everything I need from a feed reader.
# lockywolf I understand 🤷

# Zagura[m] could somebody point me to some indie web resources for dummies, please? the official wiki is to big brain for me
# Zagura[m] I especially have trouble understanding webmentions. Are they just like activity pub posts, but without a social platform below them, or something else?
# 
barnaby welcome Zagura[m]! I guess you’ve already skimmed over https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started? if not, there are plenty of introductory resources linked there
# Zagura[m] thanks, i did read it, but didnt open the links

# [aciccarello] There's a lot of rabbit holes/links in the wiki 😁

# [benatwork] Indieweb question: if I'm hosting my own Mastodon instance on my own domain, do my "toots" there qualify as indieweb posts? (I know not in the mf2 sense.)
# [KevinMarks]1 If you send the webmentions for them they work, and there is a good h-feed
# [benatwork] I actually had no idea. That's neat!
# [KevinMarks]1 That reminds me I should chase tumblr again when I'm feeling less sick
# 
rubenwardy Hi all, I discovered Indie Web today. I thought about something similar, and it's cool to see that it already exists
# rubenwardy There's so many different structured data formats. ld+json, microdata, and now microformats...
# rubenwardy need a standard to unify them all
# [KevinMarks]1 Snarfed is being modest there https://granary.io/
# rubenwardy <a class="d-none p-author h-card" rel="author" href="http://rubenwardy.com">rubenwardy</a>
# rubenwardy Ok, so the docs led me to believe that I can add a h-card to my homepage and then reference that as rel=author from other pages. But the IndieWebify.me tool doesn't seem to be picking that up.
# rubenwardy maybe it's just p-author rel=author, no h-cord?
