Anyone knows an alternative to http://webmention.app for sending webmentions? This one doesn't seem to work properly most of the time, and it's not updated since 2020 :/ #ssg #webmention #indieweb

it works, but all messages will be relayed through the bot
#
petermolnar
on the discord side it looks fine, but on the IRC side the nice nicks are usually the source of the problem
#
sknebel
maybe the old solution gets an answer for why it had problems

I'll certainly return to that one if that weird TLS issue gets solved somehow but currently I don't have the capacity to debug it myself

yeah, its weird, if it isnt libera blocking you for some reason

@lightcoin
I like the indieweb POSSE tactic: post on own site, syndicate elsewhere. I always post long-form on my own site first, then eventually post to Medium later. Will eventually figure out a good POSSE workflow for microblogging, too.

petermolnar: can you rename the bot from hoenir to something that better indicates it's a gateway?

right now it looks like a random person is mentioning capjamesg[d]

i feel like it's less important on the actual session notes pages
#
aaronpk
more important on the instruction pages for the overall IWC
#
[tantek]1
yeah, as capturing how we did things back then. there's an element of building on and using existing services before building / installing / setting up your own that is exemplified there.

#
tracydurnell
lost in the discord ether last week -- at HWC last week @lahacker and I were discussing that there might be a place for a happy medium between the informality of HWC and intensity of a full IndieWebCamp
#
tracydurnell
one idea could be designating the first HWC of the month as "the one to come to if you're going to come to one"
#
aaronpk
isn't that the popup sessions?
#
tracydurnell
and potentially saving up some ideas for discussion topics that would benefit from more of a quorum (in the etherpad? in the event listing?), and anyone who shows up votes on which topics to talk about, more like an IndieWeb camp
#
tracydurnell
we were thinking it was different from the pop up sessions because the topic's picked in advance and they're longer devoted to a deeper dive on one topic
#
tracydurnell
whereas a slightly more formal (?) HWC might still cover multiple topics yet slightly less freeform than a typical HWC?
#
tracydurnell
another approach could be picking something from the "to do list" and devoting a little discussion time to thinking them through, like a few weeks back we talked through ways to visually represent IndieMark and ways to refresh or update the concept
#
tracydurnell
which is more popup like ;)
#
jacky
oh I like that
#
tracydurnell
which idea did you like jacky?
#
jacky
using the idea of the first HWC of a month as a way to be a guiding compass of sorts for the rest of the month
#
tracydurnell
ooh, guiding compass, I like it ;)
#
jacky
it's like an extended popup in a way
#
angelo
tracydurnell++ well put
#
Loqi

#
angelo
what can we call the first-of-the-month HWC?
#
jacky
fore-hwc
#
jacky
tbh tho I don't think that this should take up too much of the time of the first HWC of the month - to preserve that informal behavior
#
tracydurnell
yeah we were thinking it would still work with the same variety of usual activities / topics -- discussions, demos, etc -- while adding a little extra intentionality / purpose?
#
tracydurnell
and potentially some discussion could zoom out to big picture 'state of the web' topics
#
sknebel
I know even less attractive in summer, but a weekend HWC would still be nice
#
sknebel
and would allow bridging timezones a bit more
#
tracydurnell
it's still spring for a few months ;)
#
tracydurnell
good idea on the time overlap :)
#
tracydurnell
I think it'd be fun to do a weekend HWC that worked across more timezones
#
sknebel
(my wednesday evenings are my own IRL thing each week, and customers keep putting regular meetings on thursday mornings so staying awake for US ones is ill-advised)
#
tracydurnell
(it does seem like Wednesdays are a popular night for activities)
#
sknebel
s/own/one
#
angelo
i was originally thinking that there might be an anxiety about showing up because you don't know what to expect in terms of activity.. even a simple "these people are actually physically in the zoom right now" would move in that direction but being able to raise your expectations and plan ahead for the "big one" would go one step further
#
angelo
for example, if there's ten people in the room you can join, leave your video off, say "hi" and just lurk.... if there's just one other person in the room it's a very different thing.
#
tracydurnell
haha totally
#
tracydurnell
and being able to lurk for a few meetings would probably make some people feel more comfortable :)
IWDiscordGateway and petermolnar joined the channel
#
jacky
I like that idea as well - I guess it would require a bit more coordination from organizers of those times
#
jacky
tbh I can also do some sort of setup for a weekend HWC (I'm usually just reading Sunday mornings, the late afternoon and evening are harder)
#
angelo
i think the added coordination (topics/voting) is only necessary if more people actually show up to the big one.. in which case we could start by just referring to the big one as such and react accordingly.
#
tracydurnell
makes sense to me -- we could do a trial run in May and see whether more advance coordination seemed needed?
#
angelo
couldn't hurt!
jacky joined the channel
#
angelo
we could put the event page up now with a slightly different title.. the only real difference on the outset would be slightly raised expectations of attendance.
#
tracydurnell
we could always come up with a brilliant name in the future and just call it something marginally different like "May HWC" or "Monthly HWC" to start?

think we could just pick a weekend for a HWC and slap it on the calendar, or need to do more coordination than that? ;)
#
tracydurnell
like, May 14 or 15? ;)
#
jacky
tracydurnell: that works, yeah!
#
angelo
when it comes to weekends i believe the assumption is that we have more leeway to decide time of day. to maximize timezone compatibility we've repeatedly settled on ~9a PST for popups.. which is mid-morning for us on the west coast of US, early afternoon for east coast and early evening for european zones.
