#zack1Hello, all. I have a question sort of related to microsub. I'm building a client for myself and some entries have a category field. Is there any standard way to query a site to get the link for each category?
#aaronpknot really, there's no guarantee a website will have a link for a category
#sebbuand there's no guarantee categories (or genres, or tags) will be the same between 2 sites
#aaronpki guess the other way to ask that question is: if the website does have a link for category pages, how could that be exposed in microsub
#aaronpkit would actually need a microformats representation first, which interestingly isn't really a thing. most people include just the category name in the microformats value. you _could_ publish a URL value instead, but there's not really a way to provide both
#aaronpkmicropub query implies you're querying your own site, is that what you mean?
#zack1ah, duh. you're right. No i was just thinking about it wrong
#zack1On my site, tags are marked up like <a class="p-category" href="/tags/tagName">. Couldn't microsub servers check if a p-category is on an anchor tag with an href?
#zack1Or is overloading the p-category class a bad idea, since the p-* implies plain-text property
#aaronpkright, a microformats parser will return only the plaintext value for p-*
#aaronpkif you were to use u-category there, the value parsers see would be the URL
#aaronpkbut parsers aside, most consumers of the value expect it to be a string right now, which was my other comment about there not really being a way to provide both a name and URL for the category property in microformats
#zack1ah, gotcha. The only microformats that have both a name and a url are all h-* types and that sounds like way more work than its worth for this

#[grantcodes]@nolith [aaronpk] was right, to get your posts to show up in Together you need to support micropub queries
#noliththank you aaronpk and [grantcodes]. I was not looking at the micropub extensions, that's way I could not found anything usufull. I'll read the specs and see if I can implement it in my endpoint
#[grantcodes]Give me a shout if you have any issues with together
#nolithThanks I'll do. I'm at a very early stage in my indieweb journey.

#nolithI'm trying to feed my Atom file to micro.blog, but the only outcome I can get from my settings page is `Error: request timeout`.
#nolithMy atom feed xml downloads in less than a second so I can't believe it's a timeout problem on my end of the connection.
#nolithDo you have ideas on how I can get my posts on micro.blog?

#[manton]@nolith Every once in a while I see issues like that, but I think it’s outside my control… I just tested downloading your feed on my own laptop (works) and from one of the Micro.blog servers (times out).
#gRegorLovemaybe a user-agent thing on the request from microblog?
#[manton]Maybe, but I just tested using curl on both machines… Unless it’s a combination of user-agent and something else.
#[manton]I can ping, but HTTP requests just hang, which does sound like it might be a security thing.

#noliththanks [manton], that site is statically generated and hosted on GitLab pages. Where are hosted Micro.blog servers?
#[schmarty]Hehe yeah I tried to look at your posts and articles feeds and they were gone but I figured you were aware. 😅

#jackyI'm aiming to let granary work on them by taking the h-feeds on the page
#jackyI do want to self-host those feeds in the future tho
#jackyone big thing I'm working on are private feeds and I wouldn't be able to pass that through something like granary
#jamietanna[m]Last couple of days I've been slowly starting on my indieauth server implementation - been taking note of a lot of the conformance features as Cucumber if we go that route for indieauth test suites
