lkhrs[m] danicotillas: I can't find your handle either in the actual Mastodon web app (I'm on fosstodon). I don't know the specifics but it seems like your instance isn't connected to the rest of the network

# BillBennett Can you remind me what stops twitter from linking back to an indie web Wordpress site using rel=me?
# BillBennett likewise micro.blog
# [tw2113_Slack_] twitter would have to care first
# [tw2113_Slack_] not sure on micro.blog as i trust Manton would care about that type of detail
# BillBennett Well I think the problem with twitter is that it shortens URLs... or at least it did. I think Twitter could be heading for turmoil, but a link back to the indie web would be helpful
# BillBennett After years of Micro.blog I found and filled in the profile section, that may give me the link back, but it could be cached and not showing up yet

[KevinMarks] Twitter did have rel=me for years

# BillBennett1 Yes, I’ve no idea when it stopped working… it just happened.

# [Will_Monroe] [dshanske] do you make any use of Categories on your own WordPress site? I'm only now realizing that I can provide separate feeds for each Post Kind in my blog's menu. And this has led me to think that Categories may be redundant.

# [Will_Monroe] Thank you, [dshanske]! I think I'm probably headed the same direction. I only seem to need two categories: 1) blog posts w/ titles and 2) everything else w/o titles. Post Kinds seems to provide all of the rest of the distinctions I need to make.

GWG [Will_Monroe]: Did you know that you can do /kind/note,article/
# [Will_Monroe] No, I didn't. I'll have to look that up.

# [Will_Monroe] Well now. That is interesting and it solve the problem that I was only just coming to terms with: How to combine multiple Post Kinds without resorting to Categories at all. 👍
# [Will_Monroe] Post Kinds is working well for me. What is a challenge is bending WordPress's appearance and post formatting to my liking. : )

[chrisaldrich] [pfefferle] If you have a moment, can you think of anything offhand that would be causing danicotilla's set up with the ActivityPub plugin not to work? (see https://chat.indieweb.org/wordpress/2022-04-26#t1651006858760400)
# [chrisaldrich] willtmonroe, the ability to mix feeds with Post Kinds allows one to specify what to send to services or for custom subscriptions to people's sites which support it. For example, I use https://boffosocko.com/kind/article,note/feed/ to send specific content to micro.blog and have (though don't use it much anymore) a "Food diary" that can be found at https://boffosocko.com/kind/eat,drink/ which combines the eat and drink
