Loqi [holonet.social/@justin] It took all day to customize the Ghost theme, but I’m happy to say my website finally passed all the #IndieWeb checks! Next up (some other day), connecting webmentions to the Fediverse. Want to check it out? Visit https://justincox.com/! (https://holonet.social/@justin/111598927378055537)

Loqi [mastodon.world/@jasonmcfadden] Been having fun tweaking my HTML site on Neocities. Thinking I'll migrate Jason Journals there away from WordPress in 2024.Just about purged almost all JS from the site, so just HTML and CSS.https://jasonmcfadden.neocities.org#indieweb #neocities #HTML (https://mastodon.world/@jasonmcfadden/111599362515677078)

Loqi [holonet.social/@justin] Anyone know how to help with #Webmentions?I have #Bridgy set up and it’s sending based on interactions on #Mastodon. However, nothing is being received by Webmention.io. I’m lost at what to do next for https://justincox.com/. Any suggestions?#AskMastodon #IndieWeb #webdev (https://holonet.social/@justin/111601416147058012)
#
sknebel [snarfed] ^^^ is there a way of getting to the webmention endpoint response from the bridgy logs? (I suspect the webmention.io validation fails for some reason for them, but cant check with the visible logs)
#
sknebel (or I guess aaronpk, would they be able to see failed-to-verify WM attempts in the dashboard on webmention.io?)
#
sknebel (does webmention.io fetch the webmention *target*?)
#
aaronpk I haven't surfaced errors because it would be so noisy
#
aaronpk maybe if I drop pingback support it would be ok
#
[tantek] or switch pingback support to an explicit "opt-in" on people's dashboard, so drop pingback by default
#
aaronpk it is already opt in because you have to add the tag to your own website, but maybe a switch in the dashboard would also be useful
#
[tantek] this is a good point
#
sknebel aaronpk: does it fetch the target to double-check there is something there that wants mentions?
#
aaronpk hmm no that's a thought
#
sknebel (their site is behind cloudflare, so if that captchas webmention.io that'd be a silent failure
#
Loqi [techhub.social/@alabut] @erinc makes sense, thanks for clarifying! I'm also interested to see where Threads is going with activitypub, we live in very interesting times. I hung out with @tantek.com this weekend at the #indieweb hackathon and he said he's got some longer notes coming from the meetings at... (https://techhub.social/@alabut/111602341404958896)
#
aaronpk oh yeah that's a tough one then
#
aaronpk sounds like a checkbox for that feature might be good too

Loqi [cleverdevil.club/@jonathan] Super cool. I’d love to have an app that lets me write entries and then have them posted to my website as private posts. Micropub for publishing of course :) #IndieWeb https://toot.cafe/@chartier/111603123372616812 (https://cleverdevil.club/@jonathan/111603234818248663)

Loqi [toolsforthought.social/@jslr] It's been a shockingly long time since I did anything with my website (don't go look— it's embarrassing).
