[eddie] !tell Zegnat: yeah, Micropub post list query (q=source) is what MarsEdit needs. I’ve flagged the new developments for Daniel so he can provide feedback on anything missing he needs for it
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

@jgmac1106 As a side note I forgot the one thing that handles Twitter threads and webmentions better than WordPress and Bridgy Publish is Known. If you simply send out a reply to your own status updates and syndicate both to Twitter the magic just happens.

swentel snarfed, interesting side effect from the uri wrapping: even the canonical links to the user on older posts get the new one - which is good of course, mastodon isn't annoying on that level ;)
#
snarfed swentel: interesting indeed
#
swentel looking at the accept patch now
#
snarfed also promising for migration, since that implies @username@domain is more important than actor id for AP, or at least mastodon
#
swentel yes indeed
#
swentel one other thing I also wondered: if you reply on a post which was posted by fed.bridgy, does that get into the inbox and send a webmention to the original post on the site ?
#
snarfed yes!
#
swentel hmm interesting, because I tested yesterday, but didn't see anything .. ;)
#
snarfed https://fed.brid.gy/#receive
#
snarfed hmm ok. i can look
#
snarfed do you remember when?
#
swentel I replied on "Awesome snarfed, it works! :)" (https://mastodon.social/@swentel/100895743653130715)
#
snarfed eh no matter
#
Loqi [swentel] @realize.be That's pretty awesome!
#
snarfed thx
#
snarfed oh that's a reply to your original post from your mastodon account, right? not to the bridgy fed reply?
#
swentel oh no, so the reply underneath ("That's pretty awesome!") is from my swentel mastodon account on "Awesome snarfed, it works! :)"
#
snarfed heh, sorry, hard to follow. here's what i see there: https://snarfed.org/swentel_post.png
#
snarfed original post from mastodon, first reply to OP from bridgy fed, second reply to OP from mastodon
#
snarfed ie, two replies to an OP from mastodon. i don't think mastodon considers the second reply to be a reply to the first reply? not sure though.
#
swentel right it's a confusing ui indeed
#
snarfed i'll look in logs anyway
#
swentel but the second reply has a '1' counter
#
snarfed oh huh yes true. ok!
#
swentel and the canonical url of that page is the url of the last reply
#
snarfed found the logs
#
snarfed may be a quick fix
#
snarfed this is a great example of how self dogfooding is important. i don't really interact with anyone on mastodon any more, so i don't notice every time mastodon changes its AP handling and breaks bridgy fed's logic
#
snarfed (i have good daily automated tests for granary for *reading* from silos, but it's harder to do that for writes, etc)
#
swentel I've seen others complaining about mastodon's AP handling as well
#
swentel btw, likes still work fine too
#
swentel haven't tested reposts, but I'm sure that's fine
#
swentel ok justed tested
#
swentel works fine :)
#
swentel and those 2 get automatically notifications which is great
#
swentel only replies don't, which is kind of meh, but I know how to trigger that

#
[jgmac1106] [snarfed] didn't know the correct repo, but wanted to suggest change on brid.gy homepage that after registering wordpress.com they should use the html widget and not the text area widget

Loqi [snarfed] bridgy: Bridgy pulls comments and likes from social networks back to your web site. You can also use it to publish your posts to those networks.

#
snarfed [jgmac1106]: thanks! yeah i saw a ton of new wp.com signups last week. you have good reach!
#
snarfed sounds like you're familiar with the html widget. you've tried it and it works? if so, mind updating the banner? feel free to do it in github's edit web ui if you want, no git needed: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/blob/master/templates/wordpress_user.html

[jgmac1106] oops, what a crappy typo

[jgmac1106] fixing now, but if people never want to publish or publicize let me know
