Yeah, I don’t think it’s wrong, just interesting to note. Helps think through what UX areas need to be refined on the direct IndieWeb tools 🙂
Its always interesting to see where replies to my posts originate from because I POSSE my replies to Twitter and Micro.blog and of course send IndieWeb replies via webmention. So when someone like you or @cleverdevil has the same POSSE’d post on all the services it’s funny to see where the replies come from (Indie Reply, Micro.blog or Twitter) 🤔 either because of push notifications or ease of replying you both tend to use Micro.blog
That’s definitely something I’d like to add to iOS… I don’t really know how often I would use them though. And Micropub/mf2 is still a little confusing around implementation on those to me, and I’ve never felt the compulsion to look in-depth at it.
That’s a good suggestion. I’ll add that to my Micro.blog IndieAuth help page: “first log in to Micro.blog in Safari, then open Indigenous”. Thanks!
Hmm yeah that’s tricky. Okay, so the email you get has two “buttons”: Sign in to Micro.blog and Open in Micro.blog for iOS. The top one should log you in via the web browser and the second should log you in the M.b iOS app. So you would want to select the top button to login via Safari. Then if you go back to Indigenous, cancel the login and enter your url again, it should allow you to approve Indigenous rather than enter your email.

You mention, I appear! 💨 am I a Genie? Haha! So Indigenous uses IndieAuth for its authentication. This page explains the different blog platforms that support IndieAuth. If you’re using a Micro.blog-hosted blog, then IndieAuth support is already built in. Just enter your blog’s url (not your profile url) on the login form (https://indigenous.abode.pub/ios/help/)
Austin folks interested in the IndieWeb, blogging, Micro.blog, or building your own web site… The next Homebrew Website Club meetup is this Wendesday, 6:30pm at Mozart’s Coffee. Hope to see you there!
I’m telling you this stuff is often too important and worthy to be owned by an algorithm and lost in the stream.
