[timothy_chambe] ↩️ Yep that was it. I admin that if any questions or anything I can do to help. The original idea for it was born in this discussion group trying to bring together indieweb development community with the fediverse community - as they have many shared goals are are somewhat cousins as endeavors.

ash[m] well that was interesting. Tried to upload a post with two photos from my phone to microblog.pub and it maxed out my server so that the machine went unresponsive for five minutes and then didn't complete creating the post.
#
barnaby o.o
#
barnaby due to huge modern phone photo files?
#
ash[m] one assumes so?
#
ash[m] except the files are like 1.8m each
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> Is there an easy way to export a smaller version of an iPhone phto?
#
ash[m] maybe but I shouldn't need to. 2mb is a perfectly reasonable upload size
#
ash[m] barnaby: where did you say you were seeing those extraneous h-entry tags?
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> Yeah. I just meant generally. I run into issues with big photos all the time 😦
#
ash[m] yeah fair
#
ash[m] I've put a question about what logs I should collect for diagnosing the issue into the mbp mailinglist
#
barnaby capjamesg: it looks like there are image size reduction share actions you can download for iOS now, maybe something like that would help without requiring an entirely separate app?
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> Ah, that would be great barnaby!

IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> I liked this article: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/nov/12/joining-the-herd-whats-it-like-moving-from-twitter-to-mastodon

Zegnat What is cohost?
#
Loqi Cohost is a social networking platform built by https://antisoftware.club https://indieweb.org/Cohost
#
IWDiscordRelay <L​unarequest#0122> Is there a spec of what endpoints to add to a website to make it indieweb complaint? I'd like to make my blog hook up to it
#
barnaby greetings Lunarequest! happy to answer technical questions in #indieweb-dev :)

#
[tantek] snarfed++ wow that was a lot more than I expected. Interesting to see that many people actively making enough of a switch to reach out beyond Mastodon-native accounts
#
Loqi snarfed has 23 karma in this channel over the last year (66 in all channels)
#
[tantek] capjamesg, that article has some serious misleading details problems that should be corrected, e.g. "the German software developer who first created the Mastodon protocol" wat
#
[snarfed] [tantek] more to come! especially onboarding UI, that's awful right now, can improve a lot
#
[snarfed] lots of UI ideas in https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues
#
[tantek] ooh will take a look and see if I can come up with any more suggestions!
#
[tantek] capjamesg, that might be one of the worst summaries of Mastodon I have seen. Very superficial, with lots of "obvious" things misstated.
#
[snarfed] [tantek]++ thanks! and anyone else here good at UX design, ideas and contributions welcome
#
Loqi [tantek] has 11 karma in this channel over the last year (72 in all channels)
#
[tantek] I would not send that to anyone who wants to understand "what" Mastodon is
#
[tantek] I expect multiple people will write varying degrees of polite to angry letters to The Guardian correcting their mistakes
#
[jacky] that detail re: Eugene making it does seem like the only issue (and IIRC Mastodon _does_ have its own schema on top of AS - that could be deemed something different since so many clients have to work _with_ it)
#
ash[m] <ash[m]> "well that was interesting. Tried..." <- ok so that weird lockup and crash was from the exif stripping code readingandwriting all the image data, I think raw.
#
ash[m] as part of stripping the exif data from the pictures
