# 16:36 capjamesg [snarfed] Is there a way that I can use Bridgy fed to announce I have a new post to Mastodon without actually showing the post contents? # 16:36 capjamesg I want people to be able to follow me at @jamesg.blog@jamesg.blog but not share all my blog posts out on the platform. duanin2, sarna and [aciccarello] joined the channel
# 17:42 [aciccarello] I wonder if you could set up a specific RSS or microformats feed to pass to bridgy fed gRegor joined the channel
# 17:48 gRegor capjamesg, articles show up via BF with just the title and the link # 18:16 Loqi gRegor has 38 karma in this channel over the last year (106 in all channels) # 18:18 gRegor Are you seeing something different? I tried looking up your profile but it didn't seem to have any posts (on indieweb.social instance at least) [snarfed] joined the channel
# 18:30 [snarfed] (minor detail: technically Bridgy Fed federates out both the title and full contents. it's Mastodon, and some other fediverse platforms, that choose to only render the title and link, not the contents) # 18:31 gRegor I guess that explains why I've noticed the BF profile page shows it federated a post and the short text it shows is the start of the e-content # 18:39 capjamesg [snarfed] Is there a way to turn the full content syndication feature off? # 18:39 capjamesg gRegor I think I set up Bridgy Fed a few years ago but didn't do anything with it. barnaby, [mattl], geoffo, vidak and [benji] joined the channel
# 21:49 capjamesg Of note, I got keyboard selection of the checkbox to work with a little CSS! # 21:49 capjamesg I disabled the outline of the checkbox and made it tiny, then set a negative margin on the next next to it to remove the tiny bit of space the browser added. # 21:50 capjamesg I then have a CSS rule that increases the contrast of the parent <label> of a selected checkbox.
[aciccarello] What do you imagine the post looking like?
