@sandhawke @ckhonson Huh, I'd missed that Mark Zuckerberg prioritized learning about decentralization for 2018. Maybe he'll start coming to Social Web Community Group meetings @dustyweb @aaronpk . Or buy out nextcloud @fkarlitschek. Or withknown @benwerd. Uh huh. https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10104380170714571 (twitter.com/_/status/956361149494321152)

camb By looking at other peoples Known sites I have a good idea of it's abilities. How does following work on known? Is it RSS based? Do we need a seperate feed reader?
#
camb I'd like to try it out before trying to install but I can't find any public demo.
#
raucao camb: you need a seperate reader
#
raucao known just gives you the feed(s) for your site and content, but in order to subscribe you need a reader app
#
raucao either RSS reader, or indieweb reader

#
camb thanks @raucao I've been looking into different feed readers already. I thought Known had some privacy options (like share only with friends). I must have understood wrong. How could one create a closed group, since rss has no privacy options?
#
jeremycherfas !tell cambs There is a community Known blog; I'm just seearching for the link. But maybe someone else remembers it.
#
camb Is Known "public only"?
#
camb Thank you @jeremycherfas !
#
jeremycherfas Got it! http://www.known.cloud
#
jeremycherfas I think it was set up by http://www.jmonroe.me but 'm not sure about that
#
camb @jeremycherfas Awesome! signing up
#
jeremycherfas Good luck. Hasn't seen a whole lot of activity, I must say.
#
jeremycherfas I run Known myself, so if you have specific questions I may be able to help.
#
camb The commenting and stars now work only with posts from known.cloud. How do we comment and like posts on other sites?
#
Zegnat If you click on the button to write a new status, below the input field you can select “Reply to a site”.
#
Zegnat Enter any URL you want to reply to there.
#
camb @Zegnat Awesome. And the stars?
#
Zegnat I am not sure what the “star” would be as a post type. You can bookmark external sites, which can result in the other site showing the feedback on their end. But I am surprised there isn’t a “like” post type.
#
Zegnat I can’t say if Known.Cloud is showing all of Knowns features though. I haven’t had it installed myself for a while now.
#
jeremycherfas Bookmarks now include likes. I think.
#
camb Yes.bookmarking leaves a webmention. From testing this site here I can see that the bookmark left a "mentioned in" on the original post. No like though. https://s.ly/2015/kickstarter

#
camb maybe it's outdated ? I just tried the "like" option in the Wordpress indieweb plugin, but that doesn't seem to have registered the like either.
#
camb Other than that It looks to be a very nice interface. Maybe this is the one that can help win over some friends. :)
#
camb I use matrix/riot for the #indieweb channel. Just thought I'd mention that the #known channel isn't properly updating on matrix. #freenode_#known:matrix.org
#
jeremycherfas Right now, the biggest hurdle is the Known requires you to be able to install it on a server yourself. There's currently no more paid hosting, expect possible at indiehosters.org
#
camb I can install it. And I will probably allow others to register too. I just needed a quick look behind the scenes :) I like it. It looks much easier than expecting average users to use Wrodpress + Indie plugins.
#
camb I'm trying to create a simple "interface" with decentralized FOSS tech at https://odat.xyz
#
camb I like that kown relies on RSS. I loved RSS years ago. Forgot about it for a while, and when I came back it was almost dead :/
#
jeremycherfas The death of RSS has been reported far too often to be believable.

#
Zegnat Did you mean https://indie.host/, jeremycherfas?
#
jeremycherfas Yes, I do. Thanks zegnat.
#
jeremycherfas Mind you, I do not recall ever saying what they say I did.
#
jeremycherfas I see raretrack is quoted too.

@ChrisAldrich @pvagner @benwerd @mapkyca @rMdes_ @andrea @mruncieman @_dgoldsmith @techlifeweb @nxD4n I'm tempted to offer a bounty to see if we can't fix/reconcile difference in bookmarks/likes in @withknown core & that in @kylewmahan's Known Reactions. cross ref: https://github.com/kylewm/KnownReactions/issues/17 (twitter.com/_/status/956619908711944197)
