#
tanok111 I'm asking because I'm very interested on doing the same for my discord server
#
[tantek]3 ^ some more info on how the chat clients are connected on that page
#
tanok111 could you quote it? I've read it and maybe it's because it's late and I didn't see anything about that

[social] [capjamesg]++ interesting
#
Loqi [capjamesg] has 52 karma in this channel over the last year (205 in all channels)
#
capjamesg My web reader now supports subscribing to ics files.
#
capjamesg I am hoping this is a first step into figuring out what calendar UX I want to build.
#
capjamesg I am not entirely satisfied with any calendar app I have used.
#
capjamesg Maybe I'll stop forgetting bank holidays now.

#
earthbasetwo [tanok111] the specific software for discord isn't mentioned as far as i can see. looks like this is used for slack bridging: https://github.com/aaronpk/Slack-IRC-Gateway
#
Loqi [preview] [aaronpk] Slack-IRC-Gateway: Bridge Slack rooms to IRC channels
#
earthbasetwo there are several options for open-source software to use to bridge IRC and discord tho, just google "IRC discord bridge"
#
earthbasetwo but if you're looking for someone here who has knowledge of the specific one this chat uses, idk either
#
capjamesg earthbasetwo[d] The bridge we use is at https://indieweb.org/discuss#discord-bridge
#
capjamesg [edit] earthbasetwo[d] The bridge we use is at https://indieweb.org/discuss#discord-bridge
#
capjamesg The software the wiki links to is https://github.com/qaisjp/go-discord-irc
#
capjamesg [edit] The software the wiki links to is https://github.com/qaisjp/go-discord-irc
#
capjamesg We have been using this bridge for at least two years I think and it has generally worked okay, although there have been several times that the bridge has stopped working.
#
earthbasetwo ah cool! thanks
#
capjamesg Sorry the discuss page is kind of unwieldy 😅
#
earthbasetwo i literally thought i read the whole thing and didnt see that
#
earthbasetwo and so did that other person lol
#
capjamesg The current setup is the product of a lot of discussion / documentation, which often happens on the wiki.
#
capjamesg Yeah I'm sorry 😭
#
capjamesg To find it I typed in "discord bridge" into the wiki search bar and the top result was a redirect to /discuss#discord-bridge.
#
aaronpk what is discord bridge?

#
[artlung] caveat2 is long messages may not survive the bridge intact (truncation)
#
[artlung] https://codeberg.org/btxx/xhtml-club/pulls/1 My first pull request on Codeberg was merged. That pleases me. XHTML Club! https://xhtml.club
#
capjamesg Nice!

#
tanok111 thanks guys
#
tanok111 so I just type the commands it says in conf on my Libera channel to try to connect it to discord? (I've only used irc successfully for like 2 days)

#
capjamesg [snarfed] Do you know if you need an API token to retrieve posts from a Pixelfed instance?
#
capjamesg I have made a signed GET request to get an outbox but the outbox doesn't actually list the posts, just how many there are.

#
[snarfed] capjamesg I don't know but it should be easy to find out
#
[snarfed] but API tokens for API(s), not AP
