[tantek] [snarfed] do BridgyFed bridged fedi versions of our personal domain based accounts allow "discovery" per https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/profile/#discoverable ?
#
[tantek] Seems to be a requirement for people to be able to add you to the Fedi starter packs: https://fedidevs.com/starter-packs/
#
[tantek] [snarfed] sample error message
#
[tantek] https://chat-uploads.indieweb.org/files/2025/01/dev-20250130-111030-fedipack-no-results-found.png
#
[tantek] and same lack of results for just `@tantek.com`.

jak2k I have created a small IndieAuth client library for rust & actix-web: https://crates.io/crates/indieauth-client/ Could you check if it works for your site?
#
[snarfed] [tantek] yes, BF sets both the discoverable and indexable flags, https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/1419

doesnm joined the channel
#
[snarfed] (I don't know why that site isn't finding your actor, happy to debug with them if they want)
#
[tantek] Thanks [snarfed] — that browserpub site is useful. Also my direct domain appears to work! https://browser.pub/https://tantek.com
#
[tantek] (I mean works in that site)
#
[snarfed] "AP found via rel=alternate" 🎉
#
[tantek] uh, that's a little surprising since the only rel=alternate on my home page are to my mf2 primary feed and my Atom feed 🤔
#
[tantek] I wonder if they actually found `<link rel="author" type="application/activity+json" href="https://tantek.com/@tantek.com">`
#
[tantek] and are just saying "via rel=alternate"

capjamesg[d] [edit] [Joe_Crawford] I appreciate https://lab.artlung.com/server-side-image-map/
#
Loqi [preview] Image Maps like we made them in 1997
#
[Joe_Crawford] Apache still supports those! 🙂
#
Soni can you make bridgy do something like this https://github.com/SoniEx2/loic
#
Loqi [preview] [SoniEx2] loic: Low-effort IRC client
#
Soni (yeah we know, bridgy isn't a fedi/bsky client, but still)
#
gRegor Heh, one step closer to bridgy reading email
#

#
Loqi [preview] [tantek] #257 Bridgy from and to email lists
#
[snarfed] Soni chat bridges are great! not a goal for Bridgy (classic or Fed) specifically, chat is pretty different from social media, but I'm supportive of other projects, like the ones IndieWeb chat use
#
Soni [snarfed]: that's not what this is
#
Soni this is a client for social media (chat is a social media, sorry) that does something unusual
#
Soni you should try making something similar for fedi/bsky
#
Soni and call it bridgy
#
Soni bridgy app or something
#
[snarfed] ok! I'm not really a client or app developer
#
[snarfed] (and the Bridgy branding is probably too overloaded already 😁)
#
Loqi yea
#
Soni nah, it's only too overloaded when you stop being able to milk it for users

capjamesg[d] Does anyone do anything to highlight links that are no longer working on your website?
#
capjamesg[d] I have a lot of links to old projects that are no longer online and don't have an archive.
#
capjamesg[d] I wondered if I should make a /gone page that says "hey, this was a link to a project I'm not running anymore."
#
[Joe_Crawford] I've added `<s>` or `<strike>` around them so they're marked as striken.
