[jgmac1106] [davidmead] really what would be best would be to copy how a url gets parsed in a bookmark. Title and media type should not be hand entered
#
[jgmac1106] I can't copy that functionality yet

#
[voss] I suspect it has also blocked out some of the legit webmentions.
#
[voss] I think I know why some webmentions didn't show up on my posts on Known. I have the Akismet spam plugin installed, to avoid the webmention spam, of which there's quite a bit for me.
#
[jgmac1106] [voss] native Comment spam or webmention spam?
#
[voss] [cleverdevil] and [davidmead] replied to a post of mine, and their comments didn't show up there.
#
[jgmac1106] We haven't really documented webmention spam
#
[voss] Oh, good question. I was sure it was webmention spam, but you are probably right that it's just regular comments.
#
[voss] I didn't think of that at all
#
[voss] Is there a way to disable comments, but allow webmentions on Known?
#
[voss] Aha, I can just disable the Public Comments plugin I guess.
#
[jgmac1106] Yes, turn off native Comment plugin and webmentions will still work
#
[voss] Awesome, thanks [jgmac1106]!
#
[voss] Done. Turned off Akismet as well. I suspect all should work now.
#
[jgmac1106] It will
#
[voss] Thanks a lot!
#
[voss] Never crossed my mind.
#
[jgmac1106] NP...more Known users more people building stuff for me... Well going offline. Just doing morning message checkin
#
[voss] 🙂
#
[voss] Get back to being offline and focused on your book writing!
#
[voss] Appreciate your help, thank you.

[davidmead] [voss] I ran into that using Akismet on WP too

[voss] [davidmead] works a treat now, after [jgmac1106]'s guidance.

[jgmac1106] !tell cleverdevil I saw you forked the listen post was talking to davidmead we should try to pull the url parser from the bookmark for the read, watch, and listen plugins.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
[cleverdevil] Hey [jgmac1106]
#
Loqi [cleverdevil]: [jgmac1106] left you a message 13 minutes ago: I saw you forked the listen post was talking to davidmead we should try to pull the url parser from the bookmark for the read, watch, and listen plugins.
#
[cleverdevil] Yeah, I am going to work on automatically tracking my podcast listens via Overcast.
#
[cleverdevil] I will likely want to do some cleanup on your plugin, which is why I forked it 🙂
#
[jgmac1106] no Overcast on Android...automated listen posts be great.....how did you turn off warning about nothing in the body? or does template include something
[asuh] and [smerrill] joined the channel
#
[cleverdevil] I haven't really started yet.
#
[cleverdevil] Just researching at this point.
#
[cleverdevil] I likely won't have a chance to actually do anything major on it until the weekend.
#
[cleverdevil] But, I'll clean it up and get it working really nicely 🙂

[voss] I updated the wiki page on Known with a few options on how to avoid spam. I filed it under itches.
