I still think there is a place for a self-hosted open source FriendFeed, with #activitypub and #webmentions on top, there is still room for a decentralized social feed reader that can mix all kinds of feed sources.
I would like to filter out all the empty 'bridgy response' comments. It is webmention comments of the 'like' and repost' type, which are displayed seperately.
So, in classic IndieWeb fashion, I want my website to be my hub on the internet.
But I’ve been looking into all the different standards (#Webmentions, #Micropub, #ActivityPub, etc.) but I'm not sure which one or which combination of them is best for my needs.
So I thought I might reach out on here with what I'm trying to do and see what people thought were some go ways to go about it.
New addition to my #WebComponents collection: <mastodon-post>!
Embed mastodon posts on your web pages by progressively enhancing a regular link and without the need for an <iframe>. Use the built in semantic template or apply your own! Read more about it here: https://darn.es/mastodon-post-web-component/
Now, this is super interesting. Last night, I asked how people display #Webmentions on their (#IndieWeb) sites. I already got a few really good answers, including e.g. the sites of @sia, @nhoizey, and @andy. 🙏
But now, I want more. 😁 And I’ll write a summary (with details), of course.
Have you seen a Webmention implementation with great UX or anything that looks like a great best practice? LMK below!
Now I'm hooked... I gotta get that set up for my website. I currently use Giscuss, which is fine, but it is also limited to users wanting to sign in with Github to comment. Adding #webmentions would be something else 😍
Thinking about Hacker News but sprinkled with #activitypub
imagine being able to reply and participate to any #HN post from the #fediverse and with #webmentions have fediverse comments mingled with native HN activity.
Hey folks! Distributed.Press is venturing into the world of federated social and are working on our moderation tools. Specifically this will be on getting #WebMentions into #p2p published blogs.
What sorts of tools do you wish you had for making #moderation easier? I'll document some of the ones we're already planning in this thread too.
Webmentions: how I used 1990s technology to avoid writing JavaScript.
> When I started building websites over 20 years ago, I used Perl and CGI to run simple scripts, like a guestbook (I wrote my own). I prefer Ruby these days—and Perl has deprecated CGI—but could that approach still work? I thought it would be fun to try. It turns out it does work!
Maybe a silly #webmentions question, but is there a way you can recover deleted webmentions at webmention.io? I was having trouble with a Cybercultural post that didn't display all webmentions via Bridgy, so I manually deleted the ones that were in webmention.io/dashboard and then re-submitted the relevant Mastodon post to Bridgy — thinking that might send all the mentions to webmention.io this time. But nothing is showing up in webmention dashboard... cc @aaronpk
Well that's been quite a tough few days coding for this very enthusiastic but amateur developer. Anyway, managed to get "webmentions" working on my @eleventy based blog.
Everything on the #IndieWeb wiki looks insanely cool, and there is a lot of documentation, but am I the only one who hasn't a clue how to adopt 99% of what is on there?
#ActivityPub and #Fedi might be hard for folks to grok at first, but the on-ramp for #WebMentions for me looks like the Cliff's of Dover.
That said, I am acknowledging that plenty of folks are using IndieWeb to make truly insane things. I just want in! :P
#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?
Publish a post on your website, and link to a post on my website. Then paste the URL of your post on your website into the new box and click the up arrow.
I did a write up of setting up Webmentions on my site! I had mentioned it earlier, but there was one stumbling block that took me longer to figure out.
Webmentions let me get notified when people share my posts, respond to my comments on other sites, etc., and lets me use my site for a lot of the kinds of interactions I'd otherwise have to do on social media.
To the #Eleventy community: does anyone know of any projects to make an 11ty website a first class member of the #fediverse, similar to what The Verge is doing (via WordPress it seems like) and 404 Media will do once Ghost is ready (ref https://digiday.com/media/why-publishers-are-preparing-to-federate-their-sites/). I did implement #webmentions on Cybercultural.com, using Bridgy etc, but it was unsatisfactory so I took it offline. I do want Cybercultural to be an “actor” on the fediverse tho, so now thinking about how to achieve that via 11ty.
We need an #RSS reader with "Reply" and "Repost" buttons. These actions would occur on a blog you connect with #Micropub or #XMLRPC, and use #WebMentions to notify the originating site.
