[KevinMarks] I built a Web ui for Instagram that looked like Pinterest at a hackathon around then
#
[aciccarello] Has the Instagram web UI made it easier to POSSE to Instagram?
#
[aciccarello] Like I think a browser extension that could copy images and text to their web UI would be cool

gRegor Don't think you can post from Instagram web, only the apps
#
aaronpk you can now
#
aynish I really wish insta had rss support, or even some self hosted thing that could generate rss feeds from insta
#
aynish so annoying the lengths meta goes to in order to sustain their walled garden
#
gRegor oh wow, missed that news
#
[snarfed] aynish https://instagram-atom.appspot.com/
#
Loqi friendly reminder aynish, [snarfed], we try to keep dev talk (RSS, ATOM) out of this channel, can you move to #indieweb-dev?
#
[snarfed] bump Loqi feature request to ignore urls 😎
#
[snarfed] https://github.com/aaronpk/Loqi/issues/47

#
[jeremycherfas] I derive a certain satisfaction from marking every ad by I see on IG as irrelevant or inappropriate, and it slows down the scrolling. Mind you, the ads I do see now are coming increasingly strange.

[Rose] I trained instagram into thinking I have cats. I get a lot of cat adverts which are just cute pictures of cats now, 10/10 would recommend!

#
[KevinMarks] also, Squarespace's version migration story is to copy and paste all your content? WTF?

#
to2ds The beauty of the copy and paste solution is fewer 3rd-party dependencies.

#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> [tantek] the generator for my site is open source.
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> I explicitly decided to open source only the generator with a barebones theme because I don’t want to encourage people to replicate my entire site.
#
Loqi hey IWDiscordRelay, would you mind moving this conversation (open source) to #indieweb-dev? thanks!
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> I don’t think this is quite dev territory?
#
sknebel no
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> What does everyone use for bookmarking? I have been contemplating a move from Known for months now but I have never quite made the shift.
[tantek] joined the channel
#
[tantek] capjamesg, pretty much all discussion about “open source” is #indieweb-dev territory, kinda by dfn (source = dev)
#
[tantek] Especially if you’re using it as a verb lol
#
[tantek] You’re a dev speaking dev things :)
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> I need that rule written on my hand or something.

[tantek] before I click on that, [KevinMarks] was that meant for chat or can you provide context as to its IndieWeb-relevance?
#
[KevinMarks] The headline w“Alright, Yea, I’m Calling It: Web 3.0 Is Here And It’s A.I.”

ross[m] hey all - looking for Indieweb style inspiration to the one part of the Twitter debacle... so obviously I can post to Twitter using our fantastic Indieweb tools, and I can loop mentions into my site... currently since the 3rd party client explosion I've been dabbling in the browser (which is bleh) and relying on some emails giving me a heads up of what is going on with some tiny parts of what I used to see - how are you all reading Twitter
#
ross[m] updates? Thanks!
#
starrwulfe[m] Using OpenRSS and sticking them into my MicroSub reader
#
starrwulfe[m] what is openRSS
#
Loqi openRSS is a website run by the OpenRSS foundation providing RSS content for all websites with dynamic content even if there is no RSS feed to surface including YouTube, Twitter, Mastodon, and more https://indieweb.org/openRSS
#
[tantek] neither "Web 3.0" nor "A.I." has any particular direct relevance to anything IndieWeb AFAIK [KevinMarks]. They're both distracting noise from our perspective IMO
#
Loqi friendly reminder starrwulfe[m], [tantek], that's a lot of dev jargon! Microsub, web 3, web 3.0... can you move to #indieweb-dev?
#
[tantek] yup exactly
#
[KevinMarks] Fair. Maybe I could add it to the w*b3 page
#
ross[m] <starrwulfe[m]> "Using OpenRSS and sticking..." <- starrwulfe: Thanks for the pointer! As I'm already reading in a MicroSub reader this'll work for me
#
[tantek] I'd also put it firmly in the category of ranty/hypey stuff that's better for #indieweb-chat than main channel.

[chrisaldrich] ross, since you probably can't use https://twitter-atom.appspot.com/ until the migration is over, you could use https://nitter.net/ which can provide feeds for your social reader. And for the Instagram add issues, there's a related project called Bibliogram which strips ads and provides feeds: https://bibliogram.fdn.fr/

[snarfed] ^ https://proxy.vulpes.one/gemini/cadence.moe/gemlog/2020-12-17-future-of-bibliogram.bliz "The future for public Bibliogram instances is, unfortunately, bleak. Most cloud providers will not work. Most instance administrators will not wish to hassle to find a configuration or a cloud provider that fully works. For users, this means that the only realistic way to access Bibliogram is by running it on their own computers or internally on

[snarfed] their home networks."

gRegor What is granary?
#
Loqi granary is the social web translator https://indieweb.org/granary
#
gRegor I use that^ with Twitter-At*m to subscribe to some Twitter lists
#
gRegor What is Nitter?
#
Loqi Nitter is a free and open source alternative Twitter front-end focused on privacy https://indieweb.org/Nitter
#
gRegor Oh nice
#
[snarfed] ok I've revised the language on https://twitter-atom.appspot.com/ to avoid giving anyone false hope 😎

[Caleb_Hearth] ross[m] I’m mostly avoiding reading Twitter, but there were a few accounts I didn’t want to miss out on. I’m reading them in my RSS reader via Feedbin, which actually does a really nice job of automatically expanding links and some threads right into the entry. Since I’m drawing a hard line at writing (posting, liking, retweeting) to Twitter, it works well.
#
ross[m] thanks all, very helpful!
