GWG [catgirlinspace]: The wiki is full of good stuff
#
[catgirlinspace] right, just wasn’t sure if there was a nicely laid out guide or something
geoffo and ren joined the channel
#
aaronpk i wrote one for webmentions https://aaronparecki.com/2018/06/30/11/your-first-webmention
#
[catgirlinspace] ooo nice
#
[catgirlinspace] kinda excited for this project :3 have wanted to learn elixir for a while so
Loqi_ and mdemo joined the channel
#
mdemo can mastodon users comment wherever webmention replies are enabled, or does the site owner need to set that up specifically?
geoffo joined the channel
#
[snarfed] mdemo: the latter. Mastodon and the fediverse use ActivityPub, which is a different protocol from webmention. you can use https://fed.brid.gy/ to translate between them. we can discuss more technical follow-ups in #indieweb-dev if you want!

diligiant Hi, I came across bridgy fed thanks to Tantek recent toot. I read "Connect directly to the fediverse: @yoursite.com" and thought "gee, they managed to match bluesky handles" but then, I clicked and this was "@yoursite.com@yoursite.com". Am I right to assume that it is not possible to have a domain as an handle? thank you.
#
[snarfed] diligiant the details are complicated, but in general yes, that's true, at least right now
#
[snarfed] some related discusion: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/22213
#
Loqi [preview] [Ciantic] #22213 Feature: Allow to use domains as handles, e.g. @domain.tld with webfinger acct:*@domain.tld
diligiant joined the channel
#
diligiant thank you snarfed. It might be time to have these things handled by the a reformed #SocialWebWG ? https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://tantek.com/2023/254/t2/socialweb-cg-w3ctpac
AramZS joined the channel
#
[snarfed] maybe! and/or a FEP
#
[snarfed] it's not clear yet which spec would own "use domains as handles in the fediverse" though, if any, or multiple, or how many of those spec(s) are in the W3C
#
[KevinMarks] AP and AS2 already use domains as handles, it's Mastodon that has the dead-end choice of webfinger
#
[snarfed] most of the fediverse, to be fair, not just Mastodon. even if the rest are just doing it for interop
#
[snarfed] also AP and AS2 use URLs, not domains, right?
#
Loqi [KevinMarks], [snarfed]: we try to keep dev talk (AS2) out of this channel, can you move to #indieweb-dev?
#
[snarfed] true
#
[pfefferle] True, but not everyone has an own domain and @notiz.blog/author/Matthias-pfefferle does not look handy
#
[snarfed] => #indieweb-dev
