Alternatively, if you do not want to enable this, you can use a third-party endpoint to login to the WordPress backend via IndieAuth.3IndieAuthDescription (IndieWeb Extensions Page)2. Install and activate the Micropub and IndieAuth plugins. The Micropub plugin will allow you to publish to your website using Micropub clients and the IndieAuth plugin adds an IndieAuth endpoint to allow authentication through your site, which Micropub requires. | IndieAuth is a way to allow users to use their own domain to sign into other websites and services.4IndieAuthDescriptions (WordPress.org)https://wordpress.org/plugins/indieauth/The plugin turns WordPress into an IndieAuth endpoint. This can be used to act as an authentication mechanism for WordPress and its REST API, as well as an identity mechanism for other sites. It uses the URL from the profile page to identify the blog user or your author url. We recommend your site be served over https to use this.

Allows you to set the user that represnts the site, allow users to sign-in to your site using their site (I did not opt for this), and allows you to set the deault token expiration which I set to 0 to disable expiration.IndieWeb > IndieAuthPassed: I see the settings.I personally understand the concept of using my blog to log into sites. But will all users understand that? Would it be good to add a few links to sites that do allow this to be used? Also, it might be good to help us understand what an endpoint is. This plugin could become very technical based on the FAQ, if a person wanted to go further. Does anyone else have suggestions for that level of use?9IndieAuthFeatureUse your site to log into other services with IndieAuth.Testing Using Quill.

great to see the micro.blog network coupling with the mastodon network, I will be learning more about that this weekend! does anybody on micro.blog already have a lot of people following them from mastodon? that is neat. does micro.blog also have good support for RSS? #rss #indieweb #activitypub

We’re enabling ActivityPub for everyone now, not just recent users. This is needed so that you can fully migrate followers away from Micro.blog if you want to in the future. It will cause email notifications for some folks who haven’t used Micro.blog in years, but I think it’s the best way forward.

Is anyone aware of software that would provide commenting/likes/shares on a blog that is driven by #ActivityPub?

I've had a hunt but have come up short.

I'm thinking a Disqus like service that can be dropped into an existing static site and provide similar functionality driven by the interactions with a linked ActivityPub note.

This would be similar to #WebMentions via #IndieWeb but potentially more accessible to users who would simply be responding to a toot/post.

#SmallWeb #SelfHost

@ajsadauskas @pfefferle https://blog.opensource.org has it installed :) with a bunch of #IndieWeb plugins too

Added new rewritten, still WIP, micropub-server. Previous one was written in PHP but new one is written in Crystal. (https://hliimatta.me/notes/7p95ga) #indieweb #micropub #crystallang

@admadlad @mmasnick I'd just follow the #fediverse hashtag plus any interesting and adjacent tags (I'm a big fan of the #indieweb which shares a lot of the same concepts and ethos) as a starting point and then build out a following list from there.

well that was unexpected! I have a "secret" hashtag in the post, so the post shows up on the #indieweb hashtag page even though I didn't mention #indieweb in the post at all!

WordPress and ActivityPub

@tchambers Huge congratulations to @pfefferle! This is awesome for the #IndieWeb and #Fediverse.

A table of 0 border thickness and simple CSS1 text styles - web design in the late 90s and also the basis of my #neocities site. If you want to go all #retroweb, you gotta experience the tech of the time. No CSS Grid here. Still, not an animated GIF, nested table, spacer, or iFrame in sight - I never went in for them in the 90s anyway. #yesterweb #indieweb

Blog as if there’s an #AI being trained¹ to be you based on your blog posts.

And what if it was trained on your Universal Outbox²?

@wjmaggos @tchambers Would this be possible with simple HTML sites? WordPress seems very dominant already?

I'm very happy for @pfefferle : he's been working tirelessly on lots of #IndieWeb and #Fediverse open-source software over many years. Now Automattic hired him to better integrate Wordpress with ActivityPub, and he got a Techcrunch article to boot! https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/13/wordpress-com-owner-automattic-acquires-an-activitypub-plugin-so-blogs-can-join-the-fediverse/

@aswath : So you are proposing to 1) have a personal website #IndieWeb-style, and 2) use it to #IndieAuth into all #fediverse accounts you have on various Fediverse apps, and 3) somehow (rel=me, maybe?) claim ownership of all of them, so people can understand that's all you "elsewhere"?

What about people who don't have or don't want a personal website, for whatever reason?

(updated from my last intro)
New server, new #introduction

Hi, my name is Coby and I like to play videogames, make music and write words and code!

Non-coding stuff:
Lately I have been trying my hand at some casual #speedrunning of Metroid Dread and looking for other games to learn glitches for.
Sometimes I write about nothing in particular on my blog which you can find in my bio.

Coding stuff:
For work I am working on tools for decoupled #JavaScript / #TypeScript front ends for headless CMS solutions aka #Jamstack things. At home I have been working on #IndieWeb things like #Webmentions and a blog engine built on #Obsidian.

I went through a coding bootcamp in 2020 and I'm interested in helping underrepresented people get into the industry, please don't hesitate to reach out!
