#[tantek]when you migrate a site to another domain, does anyone here use rel=canonical on the old site to link to new permalinks etc. so that Google and other search engines as they recrawl both new and old domains prefer the new domain and re-assign any credibility etc. to it?
#[fluffy][tantek] yeah the old URLs redirect to the new-old domain now
#[tantek]and secondarily, do we have a "backlink" rel value for canonical? like rel=alternate or something?

#[tantek]right, this is for the case(s) when update mentions are not practical (for any reason)
#[tantek]in essence a way for only the new link to send a webmention and have the receiver interpret the update purely from follow your nose discovery
#[fluffy]oh that also reminds me I need to update my pushl config, like it would have been pulling from the old domain but it sent the updates from the new one
