#Webmention #ActivityPub #WordPress #Comments #IndieWeb

So in this thread, the developers in #ActivityPub and #IndieWeb are going to get a little of the side smoke that really belongs in #WordPress 's lungs, but y'all should catch some because if you're going to make tools for us you need to be paying attention to us. Some of you might be, but maybe some of this is Google's fault since nowadays if you search, people like me are invisible. You're only going to see ____ digital solutions, not ____ cat pics, hand sewn plush, and social commentary.

Frustration kicking in... facing the prospect of a yet another new project nobody will appreciate until it's gone... taking a step back... Okay, I need to articulate some things about IndieWeb and ActivityPub on Wordpress. I am finding some features useful and some not very. In the end, I would recommend to other webmasters to not go through the bother, and just make a Microblog account, feed in your feeds, and install Share on Mastodon. Now the why.

anyone out there using indieauth protocol for their apps/sites?

There are a few options for sending and receiving Webmentions on static sites: indieweb.org/static_site.

I don’t have experience with those, but the indieweb chat has a helpful community if you have questions: indieweb.org/discuss

[The Platform Era Is Ending - by @justin](https://writingcoop.substack.com/p/the-platform-era-is-ending?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email)

“While looking at how to integrate my WordPress site with Mastodon, I learned about the IndieWeb concept of POSSE(Publish on your Own Site, Syndicate Everywhere). Controlling your writing is essential.”

I wrote about the end of platforms, my experience on #Mastodon, and learning about the #IndieWeb.

I'm amazed at how many people “signed my guestbook” back then (that’s “replied to my post” in today’s terms, children). Everyone discovered new things by branching from one site to the next.

Search engines existed but weren’t all that great - they could get you started but there was much more out there to find. That’s where things like GuestBooks and Web Rings came in handy.

I see some of that with the #Fediverse and the #IndieWeb. It makes my digital heart sing a happy song.

So I did a silly thing. I resurrected my Dynamite Magazine fan site from 1998. :owi:

I tried to keep the nostalgic early web days vibe, but added some modern twists.

#IndieWeb microfomats were added, along with #Webmentions. Will add a web mention reply form, I think, too.

Check out the guestbook’s featured comments! Some really interesting stuff in there from original contributors, incudling R.L. Stein and his wife.

For blog posts, the typical convention when federating is to show the title of the post and link to the original. Bridgy Fed does that automatically for me. It reads the microformats in my posts to differentiate article and note posts and builds the Mastodon post.

Edit: I added a second screenshot on the wiki of what articles look like: indieweb.org/Bridgy_Fed#gRegor_Morrill

We'll be working on verifying our Mastodon presence using our own domain in the next couple of days. We love that we can use open web standards like plain old semantic HTML as a verification method and that it's not pay-to-play. #indieweb

What CMS do people love using with @eleventy? :11ty:

Extra points for pre-included or easily addable IndieWeb stuffs (Webmentions, Microformats, etc.)

(I'm asking for my partner who is not a dev, so they're not going to be writing raw markdown files into a git repo, they'll need some creature comforts)

I use the indieweb service Bridgy Fed to federate some select posts from my website (like this one!) to the fediverse. If you click on the permalink for this post, it should take you to the original on my site.

It’s a pretty cool service and builds on some common indieweb building blocks my site already supported, like Webmention.

Listened to Into the Fediverse with Evan Prodromou, co-author of ActivityPub (The Changelog #528) Post details
This week Evan Prodromou is back to take us deeper into the Fediverse. As many of us reconsider our relationship with Twitter, Mastodon has been by-and-large the target of migration. They helped to popularize the idea of a federated universe of community-owned, decentralized, social networks. And, at the heart of it al...

@joel My take (meaning others may take issue with it): different paradigm, but not rival; helper apps available to interoperate w #Fediverse. In #Indieweb, I could be my own island, whereas a federatibg community must exist for Fediverse

A bit confused as to how it interacts with #fediverse - rival paradigms? Interoperable? Just totally different things? #indieweb

Running a #Indieweb #Wordpress site, I am also still trying to determine whether or not I should stick with the classic editor and normal post kinds that go with that, or whether to embrace the new block editor. From an editing and building standpoint, I love what block editing has to offer, but is it going to take a way from the post kinds experience? Also, I'll let you know, but eventually my blog will be a fediverse citizen in itself.
