#
[tantek] historically I have found no interesting or actually useful use-cases for separate link-preview meta properties (OGP, Twitter Cards, etc.), considering them duplicate metacrap
#
capjamesg [tantek] I think it makes a lot of sense for The Guardian.
#
[tantek] however yes, The Guardian using a yellow background stamp of the the year in large letters next to their logo in the preview image for a post makes a lot of sense
#
capjamesg (Of course, they show the same information on articles too.)
#
capjamesg And they even show it in their related articles at the bottom of posts.
#
capjamesg Let me see if I can find an example.
#
capjamesg Ah I can't find it.
#
[tantek] capjamesg, the examples are in #indieweb
#
[tantek] e.g. custom link preview image with year stamp: https://chat.indieweb.org/2023-02-07/1675794192284300
#
Loqi [preview] [[tantek]] interesting they’re also putting a yellow warning year in their link preview images: https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/f110b72b7bd5fef3e6a5482705c940c743eac5b7/0_0_611_481/master/611.png?width=620&quality=45&dpr=2&s=none
#
capjamesg No, I was talking about something else.
#
capjamesg They have that warning on meta images and articles. But I have seen it on "related articles" too.
#
[tantek] what is Related Articles
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Related Articles" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Related Articles is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
capjamesg (not on open graph, next to the link)
#
[tantek] hmm thought we had that
#
capjamesg If we don't I'll define it.
#
capjamesg I have a section on my site for that.
#
[tantek] related articles is /related_reading
#
Loqi ok
#
[tantek] we do
#
capjamesg Perfect.
#
capjamesg What is related reading?
#
Loqi Related Reading or related posts or related content is a discovery feature of some blogging silos (like Medium, Wordpress.com) where at the end of a blog post, the system suggests another deemed-likely-interesting-to-you given your assumed interest in the topic that you just read about https://indieweb.org/related_reading
#
capjamesg I shall add my site.
#
[snarfed] I put a similar yellow warning banner on my unlisted pages, eg https://snarfed.org/unlisted-something-quieter-eelea9aingai5eih
#
[tantek] [snarfed] well played with an example /unlisted post 😂

gRegor Clever robots.txt block with the prefix, hadn't thought of that

#
[tantek] Yes that's a clever how to

#
[jamietanna] Snarfed any idea / reports of boosts not appearing in Bridgy Fed feeds? Haven't seen them appearing for at least a week or two, been meaning to message about it
#
[snarfed] [jamietanna] could definitely be a bug from https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/286 ! I'll look
