TIL there's #indieweb living standard https://indieauth.spec.indieweb.org/20201126/
Slowly getting #IndieWeb configurations setup on my site. Added h-card values to my post templates.
I am having trouble figuring out how to set the way that posts display on Mastodon. There used to be a page in the IndieWeb or ActivityPub settings where you could choose the order like Title, Excerpt, Link, etc. Now I can't find it. So it just posts either an image or just the link with no context. I don't know how it got that way or how to change it. #IndieWeb #ActivityPub
I’ve been working to integrate #IndieWeb practices to my #wordpress site. I didn’t add ActivityPub yet because it seems to conflict with my WebFinger setup.
Is there any advantage of having the site findable in the Fediverse? It seems like having my username as the address identified when searching for my domain is more important.
Am I missing something?
We call this POSSE — for Publish on your Own Site, then Syndicate Elsewhere.^1
By prioritizing your own site, you decide whether (and when) you want to syndicate your posts (or a particular post) to a feed, to a fediverse, to a social media silo or silos, and/or to email like a newsletter.
You can make it as simple or as detailed as you want. It’s up to you.
Choose deliberately. Change your mind when things change.
You can opt out of any destination, either by not opting-in, i.e. explicitly not sending your posts to them, or blocking them if necessary.
Here are a few of the destination decisions I’ve made, and reasons why.
You can delay sending a post to an RSS or Atom feed, say 10 minutes after the time of publication, to give yourself a chance to edit your post, fix typos or links, before a classic feed reader retrieves and perhaps caches your post.
You can further delay sending to known uneditable destinations, like Twitter or email, to give yourself even longer to make further edits, corrections, updates, or improvements based on feedback to your original post.
Some destination decisions may depend on the type of post.
When you post a reply to someone else’s post, in addition to sending a webmention to that other post, it makes sense to also distribute it to where that other post was originally distributed, or a subset thereof, threading your POSSE reply with their original post POSSE copy.
https://indieweb.org/reply#POSSE_a_reply
For example, if you reply to someone’s IndieWeb note, and they’ve POSSEd that note to Twitter, you should POSSE your reply to Twitter as well, threading it with their POSSE copy, if you’re still using Twitter that is. If they did not POSSE their original note to Twitter, there may be reasons to POSSE your reply to Twitter anyway, if your reply makes sense there on its own.
https://indieweb.org/Twitter#POSSE_Replies_to_Twitter
Some destinations have content limitations^2, and you may want to take that into consideration when authoring your content, or not.
For example, you may want to more carefully copy-edit the first 256 (for now) characters of a note if you plan to POSSE to Twitter, so that the content that makes it through makes sense as an introduction, or a summary, or a hook, and perhaps has discovery features like hashtags.
https://indieweb.org/Twitter#POSSE_Notes_to_Twitter
You can use that POSSE tweet text length limitation strategically, placing content after that 256 character cut-off that you may want to edit or expand in an update, or content Twitter may mess-up, like @-domain mentions I described yesterday (day 14).
When you publish a multiphoto^3 post, if you’re POSSEing to Twitter, you may want to re-order your photos to choose which four photos show up in your POSSE tweet, e.g. if you happen to be using Bridgy Publish to cross-post your photos to Twitter. You can always re-order your original multiphoto post after POSSEing it.
If you’re POSSEing photos to Instagram, since you can only do that manually, there’s no need to edit your original to fit Instagram’s 10-photo limitation, or 2200 characters caption limit, or 30 hashtags limit, or 20 person-tags limit.
https://indieweb.org/multi-photo#How_to_POSSE
Or you can reconsider what if anything you get from syndicating to Twitter or Instagram.
Are people still seeing and interacting with your posts there? Are your friends?
If & when social media algorithms deprioritize your original posts in favor of showing more ads, you can deprioritize posting to social media.
If & when your friends quit social media silos^4, you can quit posting copies of your posts to those social media silos.
You decide what content goes where, when, why, and can change your decisions any time you want.
POSSEing to social media was always a stopgap.
As social media silos self-destruct, you can stop syndicating to them.

Thank you for letting us know that you got your webmentions working! I saw your post this morning and was happy that something I said had a small part in your #webmentions accomplishment and #IndieWeb journey. (https://tmichellemoore.com/?p=152118)
Ik ga me wat meer verdiepen in #indieweb en mijn blog nog meer de kern maken van alles wat ik doe online.
Thanks to some inspiration from the IndieWeb community (@aaronpk, @capjamesg, @tmichellemoore) I have added Webmention to my site - currently only replies which I'm finding useful for commenting when relevant on my own posts also. #indieweb
My First. Ever. Blog Post!!!
I'm very proud 🦚
And humbly open to any and all feedback!

This morning I learned about custom block patterns for WordPress. I knew about blocks. I knew about patterns. I didn’t know about custom block patterns. I am going to try to make a custom block pattern for an RSVP. If all is successful I will add it to the pattern library on WordPress.org. I am still reading and viewing videos, so more on this over the next few days.

#indieweb question:
Say one is planning on changing the domain name of their personal website. What's a good strategy to use to prevent links to the website's pages from breaking on popular search engines? Is setting up domain name forwarding from the old domain to the new domain enough? If so, for how long? I'd eventually like to stop paying for my old domain name / not renewing it every year.
Exciting times on the #Fediverse / #IndieWeb …
“It feels like the time is right for a truly universal timeline.”

@chockenberry I agree with your vision of a true social reader and its something we've been thinking about at #indieweb for a while. Anything we can do to help? https://indieweb.org/social_reader
@tmichellemoore messing with this it looks like the h-card shows up on the author page if this is unchecked but its set to on by default for some reason in the #indieweb plugin.
Picking a toot: a short write-up on adding “Share to #Mastodon” links to the Wok via #tootpick
(This is also my first test to see if it works, and it seems to work so far.)
Edit: aha, just as quick as I posted this, I clicked #indieweb and saw the hashtag #100DaysofIndieWeb which is what I was thinking of.
The IndieWeb event about Webmention just finished, and it was great!
Thanks a ton to James for such an informative talk! I learned a lot! These sorts of presentations are so valuable, especially for us newbies. There's so much to learn and talks like this help so much.
(There will be a recording posted soon! I think he said it will be on the event page but I'm not sure of that: https://www.codementor.io/events/decentralized-website-communication-with-webmention-fwusximcte)
