Loqi I agree
#
greeter i found neocities last week, and it's really cool. i haven't done a huge amount with it yet, but i'm planning a personal blog where i talk about my hobbies. super original i know, but i want it to be runable on browsers like lynx

#
alchemilla neocities is how i started my site
#
alchemilla but now i have a domain
#
alchemilla and dedicated host
#
greeter i have several domains and hosts. neocities means i'll always know where this one is even if i have no idea what's going on with the others lol
#
alchemilla xd
#
greeter actually maybe i should update one of my domains. it's been a month or two
#
alchemilla plus it has some added social features which is nice
#
greeter that can be nice for sure
#
greeter hmm, so my domain is minimalist, but doesn't run in lynx. sigh, i wonder what the best way is to fix that
#
alchemilla Define "doesnt run"
#
alchemilla like the javascript doesnt work?
#
greeter the main page loads, none of the links work
#
greeter oh well it's time for my adventure, bbl

[tantek] Something about flights makes them more conducive to finally getting blog post ideas written up and published. Maybe it’s the slow/flaky internet? https://tantek.com/2025/300/t20/wikipedia-editing-anniversary cc capjamesg [jeremycherfas]

crystalwoohoo Hi everyone. I'm having trouble getting web sign in set up. I'm using indieauth plugin on wordpress. I am also using Indiewebify.me to check things out. So far i have links on facebook, mastadon, and github that point at my website and i have links on my homepage website (using rel="me" that point to mastadon and github, and on my profile i have my facebook, mastadon, and github. The only link that indieauth is picking up from
#
capjamesg Mastodon should automatically add rel=me links to profiles.
#
capjamesg Do you have a live webpage that we can look at to help debug the problem?
#
crystalwoohoo www.crystaltouchton.com the links are at the bottom of the homepage and mastadon is https://mastodon.social/@CuppaRex
#
crystalwoohoo [edit] https://www.crystaltouchton.com the links are at the bottom of the homepage and mastadon is https://mastodon.social/@CuppaRex
#
crystalwoohoo capjamesg[d]: also, thank you for helping me
#
capjamesg I'm going to respond in #indieweb-dev.
#
capjamesg It looks like IndieWebify is caching the results.
#
capjamesg I tried https://www.crystaltouchton.com/?test (you can use ?whatever as a way to skip a cache) and all your rel=me links showed up.
#
capjamesg [edit] I tried https://www.crystaltouchton.com/?test (you can use ?whatever as a way to skip a cache) and all your rel=me links showed up.
#
crystalwoohoo capjamesg[d]: thank you. I used your test link and it said that mastadon wasn't linking back to me "https://mastodon.social/@CuppaRex does not link back" i wonder if that could be the problem?

[tantek] in a view source of that profile I did find: <link href='https://crystaltouchton.com' rel='me' type='text/html'>

[tantek] I appreciated our back & forth chat about Wikipedia editing, it definitely helped contribute some energy towards that post
[jeremycherfas] joined the channel
#
[jeremycherfas] Even the ones that have to be immediately reverted?
#
[tantek] hopefully you don't make too many of those. and perhaps they count as lessons learned?
#
[jeremycherfas] I’m pretty sure I don’t. I am a good proofreader.
#
[tantek] I believe it!
#
[tantek] I probably have to undo a few (of my own) wiki edits per year, mostly here on the indieweb wiki

#
[aciccarello] What is static web hosting?
#
Loqi static web hosting is a web hosting service (AKA static hosting or file hosting) that only supports serving static files for a web site, is often more reliable, cheaper (some are free), a good way for web developers to get started on the IndieWeb, and used by many community members https://indieweb.org/static_web_hosting
