slashbark could someone tell me if the indieweb signup is invite-only?
strugee joined the channel
#
[Kupietz] @slashbark there is no signup. You use your website to sign in. See https://indiewebify.me/ and the specifics of setting up your website to be able to sign in with it at https://indieweb.org/How_to_set_up_web_sign-in_on_your_own_domain
#
[Kupietz] I assume you mean sign in to the wiki, that is.
#
slashbark [Kupietz]: yes! thanks for the pointers

slashbark [KevinMarks]: agreed
#
[capjamesg] Are there any best practices on having top-level pages that mention brand names? I was just thinking that /zoom shouldn’t necessarily be my canonical URL for starting a call because I might not use that service forever. Maybe action URLs should be generic as possible but ones that depend on a particular service (i.e. listing your IG archive under /instagram/*) should use the service name?
#
[Kupietz] You can always put in a 301 redirect if you change services later.

#
[tantek] capjamesg, yes opinions on this :) if you use a site brand then I say you're implying the same URL design as the site after the brandname/
#
[tantek] Like your silo archive example

#
[capjamesg] burgeonlab I am curious to see what you make re: sharing code snippets on your site!
#
[capjamesg] I made https://jamesg.blog/code/example a while ago but I never really developed the idea as far as I wanted.

#
burgeonlab [capjamesg]: oohh you caught that quick! I was hoping to share some of my Hugo partial and shortcode snippets (they're two types of HTML templates used in Hugo) for creating bits of my site. For example, I want to include the code for creating the charts on my https://burgeonlab.com/stats page using Apache ECharts. Or small things perhaps like how to do the Hugo conditional to add the
#
burgeonlab right u-category class link for when the tag 'indieweb' is used.
#
burgeonlab [capjamesg]: Oh you didn't split the different items. I didn't get it on first scan it was one long code block. 😅
#
burgeonlab I need to check out that marquee section. I always thought those looked cool

#
[Kupietz] Anyone have any idea why https://mastodon.social/@michaelkupietz.com@michaelkupietz.com/116433696720442526 didn't turn up in #indieweb-stream? It's on Mastodon and tagged #indieweb but it never showed.

#
[social] [Kupietz] I see posts from you in Mastodon, the last one is “New WordPress Plugin…“. That post doesn’t show up with a tag.
#
gRegor I see it on https://mastodon.social/tags/indieweb, maybe a hiccup in polling the RSS for that
#
gRegor that's also the link they have in the rel-alternate for the RSS? Are they using conneg for RSS?
#
gRegor indeed they are. I see it in the RSS when I set `Accept: application/rss+xml`
#
gRegor conneg--

Loqi conneg has -6 karma in this channel over the last year (-7 in all channels)
#
[Kupietz] [social] That's strange... Are you positive?

#
gRegor Can vary by instance, I don't think all of them visibly show the hashtag, though they're there in the data.
#
gRegor instance and Mastodon version, that is
#
gRegor indieweb.social and mastodon.social both display them though, and those are the feeds for the stream channel
#
[social] I use Ivory and it shows tags as a footer to the message.
#
gRegor huh, odd
#
[social] What I was seeing

#
[social] Oddly, I search for the indieweb tag and [Kupietz] post shows up fine in the listing.
