I think I know the answer to this, but…
#
[jgarber]
Issue 28 (https://github.com/aaronpk/webmention.rocks/issues/28) touches on the subject, but it’s not clear from the resolution that the issue pursued that particular case.
#
[jgarber]
Do any of the tests on https://webmention.rocks test endpoint discovery of relative URLs in `<link>` elements when the page also includes a `<base>` element?
#
Loqi
[Zegnat] #28 Test for non-host-relative paths.
#
[jgarber]
I _really_ don’t care for `<base>`, but… it’s there, I imagine folks use it, so libraries should account for its presence.
#
[jgarber]
Nice work, Zegnat! Glad to hear you found the Ruby endpoint gem inspiring. 🙂

↩️ I'm not sure the best way to set it up for your blog, but you can post a reply on your site and send a Webmention to http://Micro.blog, which will then add your reply into the conversation. (If you do that, you probably want to exclude those replies from your feed.)

anyone tried to build a blockchain based system for identity providing? (I'm not sarcastic, that might actually be a useful case, though keeping the private wallet "safe" is still an issue)

We’re needlessly sunsetting more stuff. Don’t worry about updating your apps. It’s not like we’ll allow them to exist much longer anyway.

Blockchain based id systems abound. The notion that a private key is a better identity than a url is rather undermined by quite how much key theft bitcoin suffers from

If academics/publications used webmentions when they credited creative commons content, the originator would get a notification. This could also tip them off that their licensed content is being properly used. #digped #openpedagogy #edtech https://boffosocko.com/2018/08/15/putting-stickers-on-your-laptop-is-probably-a-bad-security-idea-motherboard-vice/

Yep, already experimenting a bit: https://gregorlove.com/channels/
#
[eddie]
I’m thinking about going that route as well. I think I want the approach to have two approaches: 1) automatic channel rules (if it has a photo, send it here. If it has a title and is not a reply, send it there, etc). 2) manually adding a post to a channel even if it doesn’t match the rules
#
gRegorLove
Don't think I'm going to make them top-level URLs; would take some refactoring
#
[eddie]
Are you planning automatic or manual or both?
#
gRegorLove
Manual currently

@schnarfed
↩️ as a last resort, you can always construct the bridgy source URL and send the webmention yourself! ugly, painful, i hate recommending it, but it does work. https://brid.gy/about#source-urls eg in this case, try sending a webmention from https://brid.gy/comment/twitter/megarush1024/1029691332267257857/1029721636382154754 to https://www.arush.io/?p=94027

#
[eddie]
Do you use micropub or some other way of creating posts. I’m trying to think through how I want to approach the manual post adding process
#
[eddie]
I’ve thought of returning channels as part of my syndication targets
#
gRegorLove
My notes stream isn't a channel, so I'm thinking I will exclude certain channels from it, like Stars and Reading.
#
gRegorLove
I don't use micropub near enough. Only for reading posts, really. Yeah, if I used Quill I would probably automate it for stars and photos.
#
[eddie]
Gotcha :thumbsup:
#
gRegorLove
Articles and Photos I manually post with the CMS; Notes + Stars I have a custom posting UI I use.
#
[eddie]
Essentially I’m either trying to decide to overload the Micropub syndication targets for channels or having some type of config returned from my Micropub endpoint that tells the Micropub client to add “Channel” options
#
[eddie]
Ahhh that makes sense
#
gRegorLove
The CMS editor is pretty good, generally. I wanted a front-end editor that also did some magic like prepare for Bridgy Publish, etc.

[eddie], I noticed on /p3k that aaronpk has channels as part of his authn endpoint

[eddie]: gRegorLove's mention of CMS + bridgy publish
#
[eddie]
ohhhh gotcha
#
gRegorLove
I guess that doesn't show anything in the mp client though
#
[eddie]
gRegorLove I think one big challenge is I post *almost* everything from Indigenous
#
[eddie]
So I need a way from inside Indigenous (and maybe Quill) to be able to say put this post in X channel

Right now I have a syndication target called Micro.blog that when that syndication target is selected, it’s put into a specific JSON feed. I think that is an early version of what I’m wanting to do with my channels. Essentially I want to turn my “Micro.blog” syndication into a “Timeline” channel, which would be essentially my best guess at posts that would most interest people. But then, of course there will be automated channels for

If I am receiving webmentions should I check the in-reply-to, like-of etc, matches the target before saving it?
#
[grantcodes]
I think so, someone could reply to another post and link to your site
#
sknebel
a post that mentions another site is still a mention of yours
#
sknebel
even if it is a reply to something else

sknebel
but you'd of course treat it as a mention, and not a reply

oh, you mean on your site

I think it would be called a mention, if it's not a direct reply. To the wiki!

What is mention?

A mention is a post which links to another post without explicitly being in response to it https://indieweb.org/mention

Should've known aaronpk would have an example somewhere 😛

That example is still marked up with p-comment, doesn't feel right to me, since it is not a direct reply

heh sorry. re bridgy fed in generally, it absolutely technically still does what it claims. the problem is, that's just a partial incomplete slice of the total experience of interacting with mastodon (etc) that most people want, so in practice it's often unsatisfying.
#
snarfed
re acct:, it means if you have an acct: u-url in your h-card, bridgy fed will use that as your activitypub user address, instead of [yourdomain]@[yourdomain]
