[chrisaldrich] What is ActivityPub?
# 
Loqi ActivityPub is a decentralized social networking protocol (W3C Recommendation) developed in the Social Web Working Group based on pump.io and ActivityStreams. Conceptually they were all preceded by OStatus. It was briefly known as ActivityPump before being renamed to ActivityPub https://indieweb.org/ActivityPub

IWDiscordGateway <person> I have a super noob question. I use GitHub Pages for my blog and I'm looking at the IndieWeb template. I'm wondering what these specific lines do: https://github.com/indieweb/blank-gh-site/blob/main/index.html#L7-L15
# IWDiscordGateway <person>
# IWDiscordGateway <person> I know that IndieAuth is a way for others to log into your site with their site. But what do these links do specifically on their own? Are they what lets me log into other sites? Do they let others log into my site? If the latter...do I also need micropub or something connected for it to be useful? Thanks in advance!

[KevinMarks] @JSQ have you tried VS Code as an editor?

# 
AramZ-S[m] Yeah, JSQ VS Code tends to be my preference and is more broadly supported, but I'm not sure how well it works in Fedora

# [KevinMarks] @person those lines enable delegated login to the wiki and other indieauth tools based on the rel=me links elsewhere in the profile.

# [chrisaldrich]1 @person, or in simpler language, they let you use https://indieauth.com to log into the wiki and other sites. They *do not* allow anyone to log into your site.

# wiki[m] hey everyone. I was trying to implement an indieauth identity provider. After adding the `indieauth-metadata` link and making that endpoint return a json file I expected things to half-work, but I tried to login to several sites (like indielogin.com) and every site failed to detect an authentication method. They all started working when I added the link rel='authorization_endpoint', though. Is indieauth-metadata discovery not widely
# wiki[m] implemented, or did I misunderstand something and it's for some different spec?
# wiki[m] I'll put them all in then, thanks for the help
