[Khurt] What does the Webmention plugin for WordPress do for replies and links when the other website doesn’t support Webmentions but supports ping backs?
# [Khurt] When I link to website using WordPress.com, nothing no ping backs appear. Trying to determine if problem is at my end or WordPress.com.

[jgmac1106] I would ignore the comment feed. I know teachers subscribe to them but haven't heard of anyone fixing them
# [jgmac1106] Meant using them

# [arush] @GWG re: the comment feed: The only reason I would fix that in post kinds is if you have to. I've never heard of anyone subscribing to it. On the other hand, it may be the only place to fix it, since right now literally all the oxygen in the project is being consumed by gutenberg, with the exception of major security changes, (see the 5.2 release post), and an accessibility change here or there which apparently isn't being highlighted in t
# [arush] think some comment feed fixes would be useful, but probably there would be more use out of fixing the comment template with regard to webmentions. So I guess what I'm saying is: Ignore the comment feed if it's possible to do so and still get the other feed fixes you want. Sorry for being so long-winded, thinking as I type.

# jackjamieson GWG, I am! What's up?
# jackjamieson I saw your parse_this_clean_content function, but actually I didn't notice the changes to parse-this-rss.php until now
# jackjamieson Looks like it should do the trick. I'm just going to finish another thought (thinking through some Yarns UI) and then I'll give it a try
# jackjamieson GWG, Installing it now, I'll just preview some different feeds and see if I encounter any errors

# [arush] Re: fixing template in webmention: This sounds like a better idea than mine. Re: fixing feeds: Looks like you'll have to fix comments feed in order to get the fixes you want in the regular feed.

# jackjamieson GWG, Just checked with several feeds that had escaped HTML before, and they display perfectly now
# jackjamieson And I haven't noticed any errors in feeds that were displaying correctly before
# jackjamieson There's still one feed that contains divs with style='width:1023px;' - but I know removing that breaks your svgs
# jackjamieson Does that mean I shouldn't be seeing the style attribute in that feed anymore? I'll double check in case I missed something
# jackjamieson Ah, my bad - I installed the new parse-this locally and thought it had synced to my remote server, but it did not. Silly
# jackjamieson (So I was just seeing the results of the changes I made yesterday)
# jackjamieson Confirmed - no more divs with style tags in that feed

chrisaldrich GWG, while you're banging away at RSS, feeds, etc. I'll remind you of this post which may point the way towards some sympathetic help: https://twitter.com/rboren/status/1019281959208529921
# chrisaldrich on the comments feed, most don't use them, though I suspect that with new readers, people might subscribe to their own as notifications of interactions with their own site.
# chrisaldrich If you have to do both main feed and comment feed, is there an easy way to pre-empt comment feed with itself?
