A Creator of ActivityPub on What’s Next for the Fediverse

So…I know how to cross-post from Micro.blog to a Mastodon account, but what about the other way around? #indieweb #microblog

MEMO

TO: app developers considering #Mastodon and other #ActivityPub related apps and interfaces

Perhaps spend a day or two to add Micropub support to the platform first, then your app could potentially be used to publish to ANY website/platform that supports the W3C spec. #OpenWeb #IndieWeb #FTW

I was curious how easy it is to make a web page from a markdown editor (using "export as html"). Turns out, it's pretty easy! Looks great, too! I used #Typora for this.

I'm sure I'll use this for making landing pages, sharing lists with folks, sharing notes. It feels like this really fits with IndieWeb values of being able to have your own space and own and edit your own content. I'm always looking for ways that people can share their stuff easily.

Added a Micro Blog page on my website that syndicates from my #Mastodon toots. https://abhinavsarkar.net/microblog/

New rambling blog post about a general distrust in the term "terrorist." Not meant to be a deep-dive on the subject, just a brain dump really. #indieweb

@johanbove Hi: yeah i'm mulling over putting a cap of users on it - or not.

This was always meant to be a home for #indieweb, #openweb and #fediverse developers and users, but also intentionally never made it ONLY for them.

Thinking about it.

Apart from that, For about 4+ months I got only 1-2 webmentions, so I believe it is not adding much value to me or my readers. In real life When people actually have some comments on my writings they usually just send me an email or ping me on socials.

I believe the fundamental idea of #indieweb is great but it doesn't have the required attention from people which it deserved. For now I have to put webmentions aside.

This morning I published a post on my #blog about using @eleventy to generate #Netlify scheduled functions.

Actually, the website published it for me...

Morning Routine and IndieWeb

Get up. Make coffee. Grab Smartphone. Read news. Read RSS feeds. It goes like this or something similar every morning and I ALWAYS get stuck on the topic of #IndieWeb. Surfing around for an hour or so. The topic simply hooked me. Today it was the wonderful work from Ryan Barrett (@snarfed.org). Ended up thinking what I can do with …

No, it’s just the #indieweb, #openweb, and #fediverse doing it’s thing.

Two days ago my #BridgyFed followers crossed 8-bits:
https://fed.brid.gy/user/tantek.com

Signs of #TwitterMigration: my prev post had ~2x more #fediverse responses than Twitter, a ~500:1 difference per follower (having ~250x more Twitter followers).

Many possible factors. Mastodon users see more from their followings. Twitter accounts could be mostly bots or abandoned. Recent posts are technical, maybe Mastodon users are more technical. Tech friends migrated first. Or hashtagging #fediverse.

Ro is looking back

#indieweb i'm confused about how to implement webmentions. is this even feasible with a static site? i presume not...

» :fediverse: Bridgy Fed turns your web site into its own #fediverse account, visible in #Mastodon and beyond. You can post, reply, like, repost, follow […] by posting on your site with #microformats2 and sending #webmentions. Bridgy Fed translates those posts to protocols like #ActivityPub and #OStatus, and sends interactions back to your site as webmentions.«

»[It] takes some technical know-how to set up« — true, but still: Wow 😮 & nice 👍

Had a nice chat with @ricmac today, looking forward to upcoming stories on #Mastodon, #Fediverse, #ActivityPub, and #IndieWeb in general!

In the meanwhile, check out Richard's Nov 15 article on ActivityPub: https://thenewstack.io/devs-are-excited-by-activitypub-open-protocol-for-mastodon/

I’ve not posted to Instagram for over a year. I don’t miss the adverts or bonkers timeline. I do miss photos from family & folks I don’t see elsewhere online. This sorts that out via my RSS reader.

#IndieWeb #Instagram

I more than appreciate the extra work involved and affordances of the alternate, but I have to say a small piece of #IndieWeb spirit in my soul died as I read this. _sigh_

I wonder if anyone is documenting the amount of course material that disappears and dies in LMSs the way that some track the loss of data and content when social media silos disappear? Our institutions need to do more to help us here. (https://boffosocko.com/?p=55812436)

By adding on one of a few plugins, one can turn their blog directly into an actor on the Fediverse, syndicating out posts to it, and receiving comments on those posts.
