[jeremycherfas] !tell @gwg if there's a way I can help with the text, please let me know. Any idea what's happening to the URL I save under the Main tab?
#
Ruxton hmm, so I got bridgy+bridgy-publish setup and OwnYourGram is sending the syndications properly, but they never post externally

GWG What kind is set?
#
GWG jeremycherfas: What kind is set when the URL goes missing?
#
jeremycherfas Note.
#
jeremycherfas No, hang on.
#
jeremycherfas Format status and Kind note.
#
jeremycherfas But it kept the Name and the Summary.
#
GWG jeremycherfas: It should be explained better, but a note doesn't use the URL property.
#
GWG jeremycherfas: It would work for a reply, like, bookmark, etc.
#
jeremycherfas OK, thanks. So, if I want to Tweet something that relates to a URL, it needs to be a Reply (inappropriate) or a Like or Bookmark (marginally more appropirate)
#
GWG Basically. It would be something you were responding/reacting to.
#
jeremycherfas Will it syndicate the Title, the body of the post, or the excerpt (which probably doesn’t exist)?
#
jeremycherfas I suppose drawing attention to something is a form of response, yes.
#
GWG You can always link to the URL in the content itself. I suppose I'm not sure what you are trying to express with your post.

jeremycherfas I’m trying to share a link to Twitter, with a few words from myself. Just as I would directly on Twitter. I want it to look good (no naked URL) on my site and to work on Twitter.
#
jeremycherfas If I use Post Format Link then I think the URL attaches to the Title.
#
GWG Well, if that is a like, a favorite, a bookmark, etc. is a conversation I've had in the main Indieweb room many times.
#
jeremycherfas I understand that, and have followed some of them. I’m just trying to understand how best to originate a meaningful tweet that is POSSEd more or less automatically and that looks good both on my site and on Twitter.
#
GWG jeremycherfas: I've been trying to figure that out for a while, to be honest.
#
GWG I've built the pieces, but they aren't quite all there
#
jeremycherfas OK. Understood. I’ll keep at at.
#
GWG jeremycherfas: Anything you want to suggest, I'll listen.
#
jeremycherfas Currently I’m thinking about how to use the WP Link Post Format to get the URL, with markup, into the title, a la Daring Fireball.
#
jeremycherfas I use Independent Publisher, and I see you’ve submitted a couple of PRs, but they have not yet been merged.
#
GWG Yes. I contributed some of their MF2 markup.
#
GWG And I have more I might add at some point.
#
jeremycherfas This issue https://github.com/raamdev/independent-publisher/issues/278 addresses my point precisely
#
Loqi [jbfriedrich] #278 Post format "Link": Title does not link to URL but to post
#
jeremycherfas Can I just bump my question earlier: Will it syndicate the Title, the body of the post, or the excerpt (which probably doesn’t exist)?
#
jeremycherfas Or is that covered elsewhere?
#
GWG The syndication to Twitter using Bridgy depends on the markup of your page, which is partially Post Kinds and partially Independent Publisher.
#
GWG The Bridgy plugin just tells Bridgy to do something.
#
jeremycherfas OK, thanks. I’ll keep digging.
#
jeremycherfas GWG: I really like what Post Kinds does with a bookmark on my own site. Need to see how that translates to Twitter.
#
GWG I have a test account for that

#
[miklb] Ruxton I didn’t realize OYG had added syndication targets. I’ll have to test that myself.

[colinwalker] Hey guys.
#
[colinwalker] Any advice on troubleshooting the webmention plugin on WP. It's not my site. Even basic mentions not getting sent. Plugin seems loaded okay (can see endpoint in header)
#
[colinwalker] Required options apparently selected in Settings > Discussion

GWG Hmm...missed a troubleshooting opportunity
