[jgmac1106] I would sooo follow authors over publications
# [jgmac1106] especially tech press that publish 14k different feeds of garbage to help pay for the few gems...usually written by the same people

chrisaldrich amen jgmac1106
# chrisaldrich I'm reminded of some of the thoughts I wrote about here: https://boffosocko.com/2017/01/13/the-indieweb-and-journalism/
# chrisaldrich If you find examples of journalists who have personal sites and provide a portfolio or even a personal feed of their work, do document them on the Journalism page.

[pfefferle] [chrisaldrich] I added the hashtag functionality to the activitypub plugin
# [pfefferle] [chrisaldrich] add settings to disable/enable it?

# [chrisaldrich] Thanks [pfefferle]! I'd my gotten about halfway through testing to figure out the responsible plugin. I should have guessed it was you after all the looking I did at similar functionality in the IndieNews plugin yesterday!
# [chrisaldrich] A setting might be useful for no other reason than to advertise that the functionality is hiding in there.

# [pfefferle] I‘be seen your issue... I have not invested a lot into the indienews documentation, because there was a lot of critique over the last month, so I was not sure if it is a good idea to promote it any further, but I wanted to have it for myself
# [chrisaldrich] I'm thinking about working on abstracting out the dashboard part just to have the news portion without the syndication functionality.

# [pfefferle] You are using syndication links?
# [chrisaldrich] Now that syndication links plugin has syndication endpoints I only need the news part...
# [chrisaldrich] Yes.
# [pfefferle] Ok
# [chrisaldrich] And SL has just a nice little barrier of settings to help prevent spam...
# [pfefferle] But then it sends everything, indieweb or not?
# [pfefferle] And does only support one category for indieweb.xyz 😉
# [chrisaldrich] SL covers any xyz category one could want and gives better options for what gets syndicated or not. (especially since I tag lots of things as indieweb 🙄)
# [chrisaldrich] It essentially creates a checkbox per target. And also works with micropub clients with support.
# [pfefferle] Ah ok, nice
# [pfefferle] GWG is a beast 😊
# [chrisaldrich] GWG++ indeed
# [pfefferle] But the dashboard stuff is not very hard.
# [chrisaldrich] Yes, it looked fairly straightforward.
# [pfefferle] Ah, he still uses the old editor meta-boxes... I avoid adding editor settings, because I am still not familiar with Gutenberg editor meta-boxes
# [pfefferle] 😞
# [pfefferle] That’s why IndieNews has no editor settings 😉
# [pfefferle] And why I try to re-use as many of the core settings as I can... IndieNews uses the category as sub for indieweb.xyz and checks for an indie tag to send it to the indieweb news site
# [chrisaldrich] So it will even syndicate tags like indiecat?
# [pfefferle] Yes
# [pfefferle] But you can overwrite it with a tag you want
# [pfefferle] It’s a constant

# [chrisaldrich] I came across a new WordPress plugin for creating On This Day or /OTD functionality for those who are interested. https://indieweb.org/on_this_day#Alan_Levine
# [chrisaldrich] GWG, I knew there was another recent implementation I meant to document...
