[capjamesg] What is an archived category?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "archived category" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "archived category is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[capjamesg] Has anyone seen a category page that is “archived” in that you know you aren’t going to add more posts to it?

wturrell hello, I am new. Is h-product the Microformat you're meant to use for books?
aldur6 joined the channel
#
[tantek] hi wturrell, what software are you considering using to consume the microformats?
#
wturrell tantek: to be honest, I'm not really. Have just moved blog from WordPress to an SSG (Jigsaw), and am trying to get in habit of marking stuff up correctly. I have the Firefox microformat extension installed and that's all.
#
Loqi hey [tantek] wturrell, can you move the tech talk (Microformats, SSG) to #indieweb-dev to keep this channel more inclusive and inviting?
#
[tantek] yep, good call
#
[tantek] wturrell, I wouldn't worry about marking up books except maybe with some visible information like ISBN since that's plain text findable

#
wturrell tantek: thanks (I quite like linking to the publisher's page rather than a store these days)
#
[tantek] yes! we do have some pages on that too
#
[tantek] what is a book
#
Loqi 📕📙 A book is a written work typically longer than an article, often mentioned in read posts, sometimes in collections of a personal library, or even published in its entirety on IndieWeb sites https://indieweb.org/book
#
[tantek] what is ISBN
#
Loqi An ISBN or International Standard Book Number is a unique numeric commercial book identifier, re-used by some sites in custom URLs for redirects or searching for books and related data https://indieweb.org/ISBN
#
[tantek] ^ bunch of useful tips there for linking to books
#
doesnm mom, i want bookworm. we have bookworm at home. Bookworm at home:

#
[tantek] anyone have experience with https://tagpush.app/ ? cc: [snarfed] [social]
#
rMdes-bnc yes, I have create an integration with it for my indiekit activitypub plugin
#
rMdes-bnc I follow specific tagpush hashtags and when I use these same hashtag, tagpush boost my posts
#
rMdes-bnc did the same with https://tags.pub/
#
gRegor Not this specific app, but https://newsmast.community/@music reposts anything with hashtag #music, I've experienced it reposting me
#
gRegor They have accounts for several other tags, seems like the same idea
#
rMdes-bnc yes same or similar idea
#
rMdes-bnc tags.pub is a bit more intelligent in how it let the user control how they can have the bot boost them
#
rMdes-bnc the idea is to be able to follow hashtags across instances

#
rMdes-bnc an attempt to solve content discovery across the fedi
#
[aciccarello] I see my nature tagged posts get reposted by the newsmast too
#
[tantek] I can't quite work out what it does
#
[tantek] like is it a tag aggregator?
#
gRegor I think it just reposts based on the tag. I know newsmast does, tagpush sounds the same
#
gRegor I don't follow any tags that way, though. I guess it can be helpful if you want to see posts that otherwise wouldn't be on your instance
#
[tantek] I'm trying to understand what role it is trying to play. What use-case
#
gRegor > "TagPush aims to gather up posts from around the fediverse and get them to you. We are constantly gathering, and push out every ten minutes or so."
#
gRegor If you want to see tagged posts from broader than just your instance, following their account helps
#
rMdes-bnc It's a relay
#
[tantek] sounds more like an aggregator
#
[tantek] "gather up" sounds like aggregation
#
rMdes-bnc That you can pick what to subscribe per stream of content generated in the tag
#
rMdes-bnc sorry, the tag.pub case by willing user.. I mean consenting, it's not just boosting because the content exist using that tag, it's boosting the user because he decided to join the relay as consumer and actor
#
[tantek] no they do more than "just" relay
#
[tantek] that's an inaccurate label in this instance (no pun intended)
#
[tantek] e.g. take a look at the table here: https://verbamea.com/4dd1a1ca55 — note that several tags automatically include adjacent or variant spellings. a relay wouldn't do that
#
[tantek] also a directory: https://tagpush.app/directory
#
rMdes-bnc Indeed tagpush and tag.pub are different
#
gRegor tag.pub doesn't load, is the link correct?
#
rMdes-bnc Sorry my bad https://tags.pub/
#
rMdes-bnc I shared the link earlier up
#
gRegor gotcha
