Tdave365 Hi I consider myself a longtime advocate for the classical world wide web as "social media". It's exciting to find this site. I am still reviewing it but I guess in the spirit of sharing URLs, mine is https://www.dwghoster.com/davethewebguy
#
gRegor Welcome, Tdave365!

#
lockywolf How is the user experience, compared to, say, RSS-Bridge?

#
capjamesg Yes indeed!
#
capjamesg We changed the site on Wednesday I think!
#
capjamesg [Paul_Robert_Ll] did most of the engineering. aaronpk did some migration work. Many others helped test and give feedback!

#
foreverlikethis hello? anyone around?
#
foreverlikethis well anyone who is familiar with the wiki, i mean. am looking for a bit of support
#
foreverlikethis am trying to upload an svg file, yes: https://indieweb.org/Special:Upload
#
foreverlikethis but after multiple attempts i cannot bypass the error: "Found unsafe CSS in the style element of uploaded SVG file."
#
foreverlikethis I cannot remove the "unsafe CSS" if it does not tell me what it is :^(

#
foreverlikethis i am correct in believing there is no other way to embed image on wiki article other than file upload, yes?
#
foreverlikethis hmmm, also how r some of u logged into chat? with ur pfp and site link, i mean
#
capjamesg See https://indieweb.org/discuss on how to join via Discord, IRC, or Slack!
#
capjamesg Regarding the SVG, aaronpk[d] can perhaps help with that.
#
foreverlikethis understood, thank u

foreverlikethis i have emailed mr. parceki
Ezri and [snarfed] joined the channel
#
[snarfed] alternatively foreverlikethis you could try converting it to eg PNG and then upload that
#
[snarfed] out of curiosity, is anyone here looking forward to using Bridgy Fed to connect their web site to Bluesky?
[Murray] joined the channel
#
[Murray] I need to look into Bridgy Fed again, and consider what I ultimately want, but it's something I'd like to dabble with once I have some time. I definitely want to find a way to use Bluesky without actually having to use the site itself, and Bridgy/Bridgy Fed is top of the list for ways that I might be able to achieve that
#
[tantek] [snarfed] 🙋‍♂️
#
[snarfed] great!
#
[snarfed] just between you two and me, and the 1200+ people here, and the public chat logs, I'm prioritizing web <=> bluesky in Bridgy Fed right now more than activitypub <=> bluesky
#
starrwulfe I wholeheartedly want to be able to have a blog that talks ATProto just like it speaks ActivityPub and does Webmentions now.
#
Loqi [snarfed], starrwulfe: I don't mean to be a bother, but ActivityPub, ATProto seems like a better conversation for #indieweb-dev

#
foreverlikethis snared thank you for suggestion, but my svg is animated, i don't believe pngs can be animated, yes?
#
[snarfed] foreverlikethis true, gif then
#
capjamesg [snarfed] Don't forget about the 250 people registered via Discord 😄

#
[snarfed] oh snap 🔥
#
[snarfed] love the featured image on that post btw starrwulfe
#
foreverlikethis snarfed good idea.. trying now
#
starrwulfe Thank my employers in the AI department for tightning up DALL-E's chops!
#
[snarfed] lol. just finished the post. thank you for writing it! lots of good points in there
#
starrwulfe no problem. Been wanting to get that off my chest for a few days!

#
gRegor !tell foreverlikethis You can add yourself to https://indieweb.org/chat-names with a photo and that will show up in the chat.indieweb.org logs
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
gRegor You should be able to embed external SVGs on the wiki with <img> tags, we do similar for some page logos. Can discuss more in #indieweb-meta
#
gRegor [snarfed], yeah, I'm looking forward to using Bridgy Publish more into Bluesky. Will probably continue manually until links work, though.
#
foreverlikethis gRegor i have gone to #meta
#
Loqi foreverlikethis: gRegor left you a message 4 minutes ago: You can add yourself to https://indieweb.org/chat-names with a photo and that will show up in the chat.indieweb.org logs
#
[snarfed] gRegor great! I was curious about Bridgy Fed specifically though
#
[snarfed] that name overlap haunts me
#
gRegor I don't understand the difference, haha
#
gRegor I am interested in going from web direct to Bluesky
#
[snarfed] it's POSSE vs federation. do you want to copy your web posts to an existing, normal Bluesky or account? or do you want your web site to "be" its own Bluesky account?
#
[snarfed] Bridgy classic is the former, Fed is the latter
#
gRegor I get that generally, but I've set up my bsky name as my domain already, so is that the latter?
#
gRegor I guess it's probably cross-posting even then
#
gRegor bsky.app is the source of all the plumbing stuff for the account
#
gRegor Maybe more for dev, but I'm interested in pros/cons of each
#
foreverlikethis Thank you again, Mr. Morrill. All the best to all. o7
#
[snarfed] using your domain as your handle is a great feature, unique to Bluesky, but yeah it's not federation. it's which service handles the plumbing, like you said
#
[snarfed] pros and cons of cross-posting vs federation would be great to compile! I don't think we've done that thoroughly yet
#
Loqi [snarfed]: would you mind moving this conversation (federation) to #indieweb-dev? thanks!
#
[snarfed] I guess
#
[snarfed] yeah
