[Murray]the number of requests I'm seeing for "hosting that will cap your spending at a pre-set amount and just take the site offline" is definitely increasing, but I've yet to see a really solid competitor that doesn't engage in this ridiculous practice suggested as an alternative
_tommysI made a flask app that gets around the newest Discogs UI - for those that don't know, Discogs updated their UI so you can no longer sort by 'original release date' on artist pages. Super annoying if you're more interested in when something was originall released, rather than when the latest reissues came out.

parnikkapore_xHi all, I want to try out Bridgy Fed with my website. Unfortunately, my site's feed is not on the home page, and it looks like Bridgy Fed doesn't support using feeds that are not on the homepage. I don't want to put my feed on the home page, as the site is more like a portfolio and less like a blog. What should I do?
[tantek]parnikkapore_x it works fine both manually (e.g. using mention.tech, this is what I do), and automatically if your publishing system/software can automatically send webmentions for each new post (an include an empty link to http://fed.brid.gy in your post footer)
[tantek]seems/feels more reliable than depending on homepage polling, and certainly lower latency (you federate immediately upon publishing, rather than waiting for your feed to be polled eventually)
LoqiIt looks like we don't have a page for "webmentionapp" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "webmentionapp is ____", a sentence describing the term)
LoqiWebmention is an open web standard (W3C Recommendation) for conversations and interactions across the web, a powerful building block used for a growing distributed network of peer-to-peer comments, likes, reposts, and other responses across the web https://indieweb.org/webmention.app
parnikkapore_xI actually have my own variant of that on Glitch (I want to use it for the "paste the link to your reply here" form, so it's important that the response is displayable HTML); the problem is that it's yet another thing I'd have to do during publishing is all
