Woo, thanks to https://realize.be/ for releasing an update of the wonderful Android app https://indigenous.realize.be/ which adds in a fix to not send multiple bearer tokens in Micropub requests ( https://github.com/swentel/indigenous-android/issues/241 ) This started breaking for me when I upgraded my Micropub endpoint to use the spring-oauth2-resource-server module ( https://gitlab.com/jamietanna/www-api/merge_requests/27 ) which is a well-formed OAuth2 server, whereas my previous implementation was not. Super speedy fix, and glad to be back to using the app again!
This is what I’m running into to try to make new Indieweb technology as simple to explain as possible. Ryan Barrett did some amazing work and made it possible to connect your own Mastodon account to your site. So you can get likes and replies from Mastodon in the comments of your own site. But you...I wonder if it posted just the title and the link as it recognised this post as an article type (you can see objectType: article in the logs).
If you were to create a note then it would post the full content of the note as a toot, I think.

But you...The way I tested it is as you described – by adding the brid.gy/publish/mastodon link as a custom provider in Syndication Links.
My own test post wasn’t great though – it included the link back to my site (even though I have it set not to in Syndication Links), and also included the text ‘Also on’.
When I get chance I will test it further, and maybe write a blog post revisiting all the different IndieWeb to Mastodon options!
In some personal news, I’ve been accepted into the GitHub Sponsors program & you can now sponsor my work on my IndieWeb Jekyll & WordPress themes or to work on other open source projects. More details soon.
A great introduction to indie web building blocks from Jamie.
@artlung Hi! I see you're a fellow indieweb enthusiast. We should meet up sometime. I was thinking about starting up a SD Homebrew Website Club meetup next year (maybe sooner).
A terrific—and fun!—talk from Zach about site deaths, owning your own content, and the indie web.
Oh, and he really did create MySpaceBook for the talk.
