My blog imports replies from other social media sites and displays them as comments.
This sometimes leads to people replying on my site rather than to the original commenter.
So I've hacked my WordPress theme to say "Reply on example.com" to give people the choice to leave a public comment or a more private reply.
Since I've gotten exactly one webmention for my blog, I obviously had to put some work in to display this webmention on my blog. 😄 Had to do some reading to figure out how to make Hugo download external resources, but otherwise it was pretty smooth sailing. Much thanks to https://webmention.io/. Still not implemented sending webmentions yet though.
#webMentions work like this; you link to someone else's url, it sends a ping to that url's /webmention endpoint, then that site checks to make sure that your site has a link to it.
What stops you from removing said link after the verification has been approved by the mentioned site?
What if I write a blog post titled "This is the best blog on the Internet" and automatically #webmention every single site that accept webmentions, one at a time, replacing the mentioned url each time?
The #IndieWeb service #Bridgy is ready to handle bridge AT protocol and ActivityPub protocol posts and replies once federation is enabled in production (already working in sandbox test server).
The format will be:
To follow a #Fediverse account from BlueSky / AT protocol: <username>.<server_domain>.ap.brid.gy
To follow a BlueSky / AT protocol user: <username>@atproto.brid.gy
Example: @atp.youronly.one@atproto.brid.gy
This allows users from each side to see new posts and to reply to these threads.
What is more interesting is that, if you have IndieWeb support on your website or blog, you will see comments from BlueSky / AT protocol appear as a comment, thanks to #Webmention. It is already possible to do this with Fediverse / ActivityPub. ^_~
Inspiring mix of perspective expanding and personal talks at border:none (https://border-none.net/@border_none) the past two days. Thanks speakers, volunteers, and especially organizers @marcthiele.com (@marcthiele@marcthiele) and @jkphl.is (@jkphl@jkphl).
Looking forward to the next two days at #IndieWebCamp Nürnberg @tollwerk.de (@tollwerk@tollwerk) of personal site demos, brainstorming sessions, and making, creating, & hacking things from UX to protocols to improve & interconnect our websites, with each other ( #Webmention ), #fediverse ( #BridgyFed & #ActivityPub ), and others ( #POSSE#backfeed ).
Still a few spots if you’re in town or can hop on a train and join us Saturday & Sunday!
And I just took a deeper look at my #Webmention plugin for #Craft CMS, which I will now update (from Craft 2 to 4…). But: I wrote so much code that looks so unfamiliar five years later. 😂 There is also no way this can be a quick port to v4 because Craft has changed a lot. I’ll have to rewrite the whole thing from scratch, I guess. 😅
Is there such a thing as an embed / quote posting tool for the #indieweb? An easy to use tool like the hosted #webmentionEndpoint but for displaying a snippet of a page based on its h-entry / other #microformats?
Been 3 times this week that an endpoint came back with a http 500 error.
One with a trace:
Uncaught Exception: DateTimeZone::__construct(): Unknown or bad timezone ()<br>in <b>wp-content/plugins/webmention/includes/Handler/class-wp.php</b> on line <b>164</b>
It's hard to follow a “magazine” and a “user” from #Kbin, or maybe from kbin.social, through another instance (tested on c.im, calckey.social, zotum.net c.wtf). It is usually not found,
I'm thinking it's the CF settings. I once encountered errors when I was setting up my #IndieWeb / #WebMention for my #Hugo blogs. It is related to CF's “Bot Fight Mode”, from my experience it should be turned-off because it is blocking everything, and it doesn't allow any CF bypass settings to bypass Bot Fight Mode.
Not the first huge player clamping down on it's API killing off 3rd party apps and burning bridges. This seems to be the nature of silos (or so called walled gardens).
If only there would be a solution to this dilemma. Something interoperable. Ideally without an API at all.
My blog now shows likes from the fediverse. To like a post, you just need to favorite my toot sharing the post.
The only remaining thing to complete #IndieWeb backfeeding is to show fediverse replies on my blog, I don't think I'll do this as it seems like a privacy issue.
Thanks to the maintainers of brid.gy and #webmention.io for making such great services freely available
For last couple weeks, I've been working on a lightweight #blogging#protocol, 🦕 Dinolog. It can be surfed and managed using #telent or netcat, in addition to the official client.
