so… it’s been a while for me. What are the options for micropub posting on a static site these days? I used webpage-micropub-to-github for ages, but it all fell apart when the free Heroku hosting stopped 😞
#
[jacky]
the quickest one I can think of is IndieKit
#
[jacky]
what is IndieKit
#
Loqi
Indiekit (GitHub repo) is “a small but powerful server that acts as the go-between your website and the wider independent web” https://indieweb.org/Indiekit
#
[jacky]
I think it's optimized for Jekyll as well
#
[keithjgrant]
ooh I’ll look into that. thanks!
#
[keithjgrant]
netlify would be great since I’m already using them for hosting
#
[Murray]1
oh cool, nice find 🙂 I've added to the Netlify page so I don't forget where that lives 😄

Hi all. Finally setting up my personal website (after years of having a simple WP blog and more years of a “coming soon” homepage) and I’m trying to syndicate content to silos (or fetch from silos when POSSE isn’t possible). I’m trying to use Bridgy and starting with syndicating to (and backfeeding from) Mastodon. Initial doubt: is there a way to backfeed my replies (posted from Mastodon) to other to other toots? (ie, c
#
[Dinis_Correia]
be stored as posts in WP?)
#
[snarfed]
welcome [Dinis_Correia]! sounds like you're looking for https://indieweb.org/PESOS? Bridgy isn't designed to do that, but there are other options
#
[Dinis_Correia]
[snarfed] thanks (and thank you for the work on Bridgy)! By the way, to publish to Mastodon using Bridgy (I’m publishing with webmentions) is it just necessary to have the link to `https://brid.gy/publish/mastodon` somewhere on the post? What’s usually the workflow used to add it (in case I don’t want to publish every post, for instance)
#
[snarfed]
yup, you do need that link to confirm your intent to publish it. workflow depends on your web site!
#
[snarfed]
oh sorry, that's only if you want to trigger the publish with webmention
#
[snarfed]
ah, you're doing this for Mastodon. right now webmention trigger is the only option for Mastodon
#
[snarfed]
(due to a long standing bug of theirs)
#
[Dinis_Correia]
Will be using Wordpress, just wondering if most poeple will just paste the empty link on the source code of the post 😅
#
[Dinis_Correia]
By the way, noticed the Syndicated Links plugin also has an option to syndicate using Bridgy… that might be an option, I guess
#
[snarfed]
right, that plugin works. paste also works
#
[Dinis_Correia]
Perfect, thank you so much!
#
GWG
[snarfed]: I still want to switch to Micropub
#
[snarfed]
GWG why? out of curiosity
#
GWG
[snarfed]: More reliable than parsing the mf2 in an inconsistent mf2 world?
#
Loqi
GWG: it looks like this conversation is getting pretty technical (Micropub, mf2), can you take it to #indieweb-dev?
#
[snarfed]
GWG ah interesting, maybe so
#
GWG
That's all I'm going to say for now... will experiment
#
GWG
I'm on vacation making venues till Sunday
#
[Dinis_Correia]
[snarfed] by the way, just curious: in your WP site how to get your replies here? https://snarfed.org/responses#replies

[Dinis_Correia] that's https://github.com/snarfed/ownyourresponses . I don't run it as a public service like I do with Bridgy, but you're welcome to host your own instance!

re discord bridge: I'm having some issues with the vps under it, I'll see what I can do. (summary: digitalocean discontinued FreeBSD images so when I rebooted it for upgrade, it decided not to come back)

Well. As of this morning I'm seeing blue ticks that now also have the white 'official', and ones (like me) that don't. And I know a lot of y'all don't care because it was a terrible system already, but...

↩️ Thanks [snarfed]! Had just stumbled on it on the Indieweb wiki 🙂 Any planned support for Mastodon responses?
#
[Dinis_Correia]
↩️ And one last thing: what’s your setup for the PESOS with your twitter account? Sorry about all the questions, but really curious about your setup, being all Wordpress
#
[snarfed]
↩️ no Mastodon planned right now, but PRs are welcome!
#
[snarfed]
↩️ setup on my site was just installing the Micropub plugin and generating a token. a few more details in https://github.com/snarfed/ownyourresponses/#readme

I... I think I'm finished styling my site.

Congrats!
#

I've spent like...five days messing around with Gimp and CSS

a site is completed?

I need to improve the mf2 support for microblog.pub
#
ash[m]
But the visual style is done
#
ash[m]
Which matters a lot to me.
#
barnaby
ooh wow you really went for the steampunk look, huh! nice
#
ash[m]
One of my favourite things about being self-hosted is being able to make my social network experience look like a weird old machine inside my browser
#
barnaby
is splitting comments and “webmentions” into separate UI categories a microblog.pub thing? “webmention” is plumbing, ideally responses from webmentions should be integrated with other responses, not segregated based on protocol
#
ash[m]
Yeah. I've got a ticket open for it in todo
#
ash[m]
Mbp is fediverse first so I've got a few indieweb tickets lying around
#
AramZ-S[m]
Oh, it looks like old Fallout games. This is pretty cool!
#
AramZ-S[m]
Dunno how easy it would be to fix, but you shhould add links to your list of games. The Republic and Amygdala both just link to the homepage

It isn't too bad tho, I (rightly) assumed I could just go to your Itch and already picked up a copy of The Republic. I'm a big fan of FITD games and it looks like my jam.

Oh dope!

I'm fixing up the portfolio content next
