#[0x3b0b]Yeah...when I was deciding what to get set up with, my top three choices coming down to the wire (there were a few others earlier on) were Microblogpub, Known+BF, and Hazawebsite+BF.
#starrwulfe[m]Maybe I’ll try spinning up a small microblogpub instance to try out later.
#[0x3b0b]I should probably acknowledge that part of my sentiment about Wordpress comes from having been on a team that had to maintain at least one Wordpress site with customizations that made it unlikely to survive upgrades without additional effort, and that was at least partly responsible for dealing with security compromises, but was not empowered to make the decision to spend the necessary time to upgrade the site and plugins and make
#[0x3b0b]sure functionality wasn't lost rather than letting it keep running on decrepit and vulnerable versions with haphazardly hot-patched mitigations.
#starrwulfe[0x3b0b]: I know all about that. I've been part of a team that has maintained the same set of wordpress installations for some prominent outlets in Japan for the last 12 years. I'm still at the point where I might bolt into some other product but I also know the "power of the 'Press" if done correctly the first time too...
#[0x3b0b]Yeah, intellectually I know that if you don't get locked into that kind of situation and have that anxiety building year on year, it must not be nearly as uncomfortable. Emotionally...not so much.
#starrwulfeI'm just glad we finally convinced our bosses (accounting basically) to go with managed WP. I'm more of a journalist that happens to be a shadetree coder and process engineer. Not the other way around!

#[tantek]as another way to "add" AP support to your existing site, yet with software you install / manage
#[tantek]curious if anyone has tried it or heard of it before
gRegor joined the channel
#[snarfed]yeah I looked at it a while back. he's good, I'm sure it's good, if developer focused. "ActivityPub to Mastodon bridge" is confusing wording though
#GWGaaronpk: If I asked you where something was on your to do list, would that be an imposition?

#TechLIfeWebHi all, I'm trying bridgy fed and when I try to send a webmention the link isn't found unless I put it within the e-content block. Perhaps I've munged up my html in some other way. Example non-working post https://techlifeweb.com/blog/2023/post-11/
#Loqi[preview] [Scott Kingery] Testing bridgy fed again. I think I have the right syntax for my post but I still have more testing to do.
#[snarfed]TechLifeWeb I'm not seeing any wms to BF for that URL
#[snarfed]I don't see a link to fed.brid.gy in it at all
#barnabyTechLIfeWeb: does your site send webmentions for all links on the page, or only those within the post content?
starrwulfe and TechLIfeWeb joined the channel
#TechLIfeWebsnarfed, right I don't think it is an issue with BF, when I try to send a web mention say with Telegraph I get "No links were found from the given URL. Make sure your post is marked up with h-entry and contains some links."
#Loqi[preview] [Scott Kingery] Another test with bridgy fed within the e-content.

#[snarfed][tantek] et al, I switched Bridgy Fed's AP delivery to followers to a background task queue, webmentions should generally return much faster now
#[tantek]@snarfed possible regression? looks like there was a Bridgy Fed error federating my most recent post (or some other warning icon?) also “no log found” when I click the link https://fed.brid.gy/user/tantek.com
#[tantek]Oh weird the warning icon just turned into a 📫

#LoqiA sparkline is a small, simple, data-dense graphic with typographic resolution that is shown inline and in-context with relevant text https://indieweb.org/sparkline
#[tantek]Thanks [snarfed]! Should I resend the bf wm to make it broadcast again?
#@argyleink↩️ I need to look at ActivityPub next too.
Def agree that WebMentions pacifies the vibes of posting into the abyss while also making the page feel more fun and alive. (twitter.com/_/status/1611041751850168321)
#[snarfed]I replayed the other failed wms too, except for yours, TechLifeWeb, since it looked like they were mostly tests. context: Bridgy Fed's follower delivery was broken last night, from ~8:30pm PT until just now, so if you were testing and nothing happened, that's why, sorry!

#AramZ-S[m]Oh, do sparkline templates only work with a JPG?
#AramZ-S[m]Yeah, looks like. I added a note to the doc, since that's nonobvious from the existing documentation I think?
#aaronpkugh feedbin built in the proprietary mastodon API, which I get why they did it but this is literally what micropub is for
mro joined the channel
#ZegnatI am going to be very unsurprised if we are going to see more of that though
#aaronpkit's one thing for full mastodon/activitypub clients to use the mastodon API, but it's silly when all it does is make a post
#barnabycould make sense if they’re planning on adding additional mastodon-specific support later
#barnabybut also, the mastodon post creation API is almost identical to basic micropub IIRC, so now they’ve implemented one, it might be easier to persuade them to implement the other
#ZegnatThey already have Micro.blog. Is that pure Micropub?
#[snarfed]mastodon doesn't support micropub, right? so it's not like feedbin had a choice...?
#ZegnatThat too, which is why I am expecting we will be seeing more services going with the Mastodon API
#aaronpkyeah they didn't have a choice for *mastodon* but they added support specifically for mastodon the product, not for a standard. e.g. they could have also said "hey look now you can post to your micro.blog account" and they would have built it with micropub instead
#sknebelA bunch of other server implementations speak the Mastodon api format too afaik
#aaronpkweird, the "request_token" step there seems unnecessary for a simple token mechanism like micro.blog and micropub. it seems like it was built to support the services that use a separate client secret exchange for a token first
#gRegorWhat's the PNG you're trying to use? If there's a query string in the URL, might need to use an explicit parameter name/number in the template, like `{{sparkline|1=https://example.com/photo.png?foo=bar}}`
#[snarfed]starrwulfe hard to say, you'd have to be more specific about "making something break," but one easy thing I can do is, if you want to switch to something else in the future, I can give you the private key Bridgy Fed generates and uses for your domain
