[Will_Monroe] For all of you who are interested in posting to Twitter from WP, my hosting provider appears to be unable to support Brid.gy. Are there alternatives that I could consider that would allow me to 1) post from WP to Twitter and/or 2) receive replies?

#
[Lewis_Cowles] Who’s the hosting provider?
#
[Lewis_Cowles] Have they said why they cannot support? (is it a library that doesn’t exist, is it a problem with the code you’re using?)

#
[Lewis_Cowles] It looks like it only supports AppEngine from the README.md. I think this belongs in #indieweb-dev
#
[Will_Monroe] Reclaim Hosting. This Github issue may provide some information regarding the issues that were raised. I'm afraid that they are a little beyond me technically: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/885. The issue is still open and it may yet be resolved but I wanted to investigate alternatives, if any existed.
#
aaronpk Oh this thread again. Reclaim hosting blocks a bunch of IP addresses and so bridgy and some other tools don't work with sites hosted there
#
[Will_Monroe] Yeah, sorry. I'm not trying to revive the discussion of the issue itself. Just looking for other options.
#
[Will_Monroe] [aaronpk] having said that, if there are other tools that don't work there, that would be good to know.
#
aaronpk Webmention.io won't be able to receive webmentions from websites hosted there for the same reason
#
[Will_Monroe] Oh!
#
[Will_Monroe] That's concerning. I've been with Reclaim for years and appreciate their service and how they cater to students and teachers. But that lack of support is very concerning.
#
[Will_Monroe] I see that Reclaim has a page on Indieweb.org with an entry describing the other services: https://indieweb.org/Reclaim_Hosting#See_Also_2

#
[jgmac1106] [Will_Monroe] send Jim and Tim a personal email saying as much. It's also wrong them being swamped with new customers. Lot of people like Dreamhost as an alternative
#
[jgmac1106] I need to investigate the price difference...I just keep playing whack-a-mole I think with reclaim and bitninja

#
GWG I am happy to help any way I can to get Indieweb stuff working
#
[Will_Monroe] [jgmac1106] thanks for the suggestion regarding the email. Reclaim has been an excellent web hosting service.
#
[Will_Monroe] [dshanske] I appreciate that offer. I'm not quite sure how to proceed since many of the issues seem to be outside of a typical user's control. But I have a pretty vanilla WordPress indieweb setup. I'd be happy to try anything out that could yield more information.
