what is Foursquare City Guide
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Foursquare City Guide" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Foursquare City Guide is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
gRegor
what is foursquare
#
Loqi
Foursquare is a venue reviews, recommendations, and lists silo based on its previous location-based checkin support, a feature that was spunout to the separate Swarm application which still shares some data back & forth with Foursquare https://indieweb.org/Foursquare
#
gRegor
Foursquare City Guide is /Foursquare

following through on #indieweb topic on "where I can follow posts from indieweb people" and #indieweb-stream
#
[tantek]
perhaps there's always been a distinction between reading posts from a set of *people* (in the community) vs reading posts from *anyone* with the indieweb hashtag
#
[tantek]
what is stream.indieweb?
#
Loqi
stream.indieweb.org is a web view of a stream of public posts with relevant hashtags across various services, that are also shown in the #stream chat channel https://indieweb.org/stream.indieweb
#
[tantek]
I thought it also followed people's blogs from /chat-names
#
aaronpk
not automatically
#
gRegor
I think there's an Aperture channel of blogs it pulls from. I thought we'd captured that somewhere

#
aaronpk
the website itself is mostly a side effect of piping the posts into this channel
#
aaronpk
it used to be just that twitter hashtags would show up in this channel
#
Loqi
[preview] [gRegor] I think it's pulling from an Aperture channel, right?
#
aaronpk
but then I wanted to add following people's blogs directly
#
aaronpk
and at some point added mastodon hashtags
#
aaronpk
twitter was going to the site too, but then my API key got shut down so the tweets disappeared
#
aaronpk
there are a few (unrelated) things to consider right now IMO
#
aaronpk
1. should we keep the mastodon #indieweb hashtag, or has it become too noisy and should be dropped
#
aaronpk
2. in principle, should posts show up from anyone, or only people who have shown up in this community in some way (probably from the /chat-names list)
#
aaronpk
3. should there be the stream.indieweb.org site, or should we turn that off and have the only view of the posts be in the chat channels
#
gRegor
Under 3 ("3a"), if we do keep it, we should probably put a noindex on it

I like stream.indieweb in the same way that Planet sites are good
#
[tantek]
especially if it has its own feed file for traditional usage
#
[tantek]
+1 on noindex for it

gRegor
has implicit h-feed (list of h-entry), so we could plug it into granary if people want Atom
