#
[Al_Abut] [tantek] of course! I thought it was a clever portmanteau of backfeed and feed reader, but I guess not if it needs explaining 😆
#
[Al_Abut] I did some writing to flesh out the idea a bit more and I’m going to start small first before tackling a full on feed reader. I've been meaning for ages to hook up sharing from my readwise/reader bookmarks and highlights to my blog and socials, so this’ll be a good excuse to build out some of the underlying primitives
#
[Al_Abut] Then plug in a backfeed from social interactions back to my site, then the last step would be to swap out the readwise API for feedbin.

#
[Al_Abut] I don't actually use feed readers that much these days, so I gotta back my way into it

#
Loqi ok, I added "Swarm crossposting to Mastodon and Bluesky - could readily be extended to Micropub https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2026/06/using-foursquares-api-to-post-location-checkins-to-social-media/" to the "See Also" section of /PESOS https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=111277&oldid=109545

lwindolf Hello! I'm currently trying to decide whether to add microsub support to GTK feed reader liferea. Technically (aside from the need to support OIDC) it seems easy. I worried though that the microsub spec is still a draft with man open issues in Github. What to expect there?
#
[capjamesg] That is a good question for #indieweb-dev, where the developers in the community are.
#
lwindolf You are right. Wrong channel. Thanks for the hint.

#
[tantek] agreed, not relevant to indieweb in particular
#
[tantek] fnhipster are you here?
[fnhipster] joined the channel
#
[fnhipster] thanks for sharing... I must have misunderstood the aggregation system. I'll remove it from my automated script and delete it.
#
[tantek] much thanks! yes it's not a good place for automatic syndication. better to manually syndicate posts that you've written specifically about indieweb things!
#
[tantek] what is relevant to the indieweb?
#
Loqi Anything directly related to people with their own websites, such as technologies and services used, design and UX, formats and protocols, as well as events or podcasts with IndieWeb talks or content are relevant to the IndieWeb wiki https://indieweb.org/relevant_to_the_IndieWeb
#
[fnhipster] got it. removed.

#
[fnhipster] Any suggestions for a directory or aggregator for content published by Indieweb users? Looking for places to follow and get updates from random posts from users in the community. What do you all use?

#
[tantek] what is stream.indieweb
#
Loqi stream.indieweb.org is a web view of a stream of public posts with relevant hashtags across various services, that are also shown in the #stream chat channel https://indieweb.org/stream.indieweb
#
[fnhipster] thanks!

#
gRegor Isn't stream.indieweb the same relevance question?
#
gRegor what is discovery
#
Loqi Discovery is a variety of methods for finding content, websites, communities, or people to follow on the web including search, directories, recommendation engines, tags, or other serendipitous methods; there are also discovery-algorithms for developers https://indieweb.org/Discovery
#
gRegor I'm drawing a blank on the name currently, but there was a new-ish project that was aggregating posts from feeds that people could opt in to, that might be a good option
gordinator and plantroon joined the channel
#
[tantek] indeed that sounds vaguely familiar
#
[tantek] what is an aggregator
#
Loqi A feed reader (sometimes called an RSS reader) is an application (local or on the web) subscribes to feeds (often limited to Atom or RSS) and presents posts from them in an interface for reading, typically without any way to respond, in contrast to an interactive social reader https://indieweb.org/aggregator
#
[tantek] heh
