I thought I would prefer #posse more but #pesos is simpler to implement.

Publish on your Own Server and Syndicate Elsewhere vs Publish Elsewhere and Syndicate to your Own Server.

I can use mastodon as a frontend and have my site store my posts. That seems simpler than having to update mastodon when I publish something.

I also don’t want everything I publish to be posted here so I think it actually makes more sense to simply get mastodon posts from my blog.

I guess the first thing I'd probably want to have working is the #Guestbook since it will handle #Webmentions from other #IndieWeb sites and #Mastodon users via #BridgyFed I did get that working previously, but it felt a bit hacky the way I managed it.

Oof, bit of a hassle to tear down then rebuild my website, but it's back up sans any content. I'm really trying to learn this whole #IndieWeb thing, but I must lament that documentation is thin on the groundd & it makes figuring things out a bit frustrating at times. Maybe the slow & steady approach might be best... one element at a time.

Today, I delete my Facebook account. I had used it for a year and did not get anything good.

Now, I am happy that I have fewer social media accounts that I need to maintain.

How are IndieWeb people posting to Instagram these days?

I know, I know, fuck Zuck, Meta, Facebook, etc. but unfortunately I do have friends and family on there that I want to be able to share things with so I want to find a way to do it POSSE style.

#IndieWeb

For what its worth, I am pretty sure I also got things working with my Micropub endpoint, which makes life a heck of a lot easier for future projects with the AT protocol. Looking forward to being a better citizen of the new social web.

I am still navigating the complexities of embedding content vs. linking to it, etc., but I’m sure I’ll figure it out.

Tiny notes as I work on migrating my IndieWeb webring 🕸️💍 to a new tech stack.

Downloading the database from the glitch.com project’s .data folder was easier than I thought.

I’m also working with a slightly different schema to drop the unmaintainable emoji slugs, so learning the sqlite3 syntax for selectively dumping columns was very helpful!

Still a few rough edges to knock off, mostly around making sure I can successfully fetch folks’ pages and find the webring links on them, but it’s close!

Saying Hello

Hello world, and welcome to Greg’s Place! Since this is my first post, I’ll keep it short and just say that I’m eexperimenting with the #IndieWeb and #ActivityPub in particular in relation to how it would work with #Wordpress Crossing my fingers and hoping this goes off without a hitch… if you see this status update, please feel free to comment and say #Hello

Experimenting with Bridgy Fed

Oof, so the experiment with the ActivityPub and Friends plugins for WordPress didn’t exactly go to plan… I’m not entirely sure why things failed, but at least I have another option to experiment with known as #BridgyFed If everything goes to plan, those of you reading this via #Mastodon should be able to respond back from your preferred client using @gregsplace.net Go ahead and give it a try, as I’d like to know if Bridgy Fed actually works compared to the poor experience I got with the ActivityPub/Friends plugins.

Hi Greg, nice to see you around. I hope you have a lot of fun with your experiments 🙂

Good afternoon fedisons, we’re doing Tuesday.
Before I go any further, by "fedisons", I mean all my people using Mastodon and any other ActivityPub powered software, plus the O-status and ActivityStream folks, and let’s not forget everyone using #indieweb building blocks like webmention and micropub.
Anyway …
John and I both had soup for lunch, and we have pleasantly full tummies. We got a very late start this morning. Neither of us got up until after 9, and I didn’t… https://arush.io/?p=254780

Special shout-out to @sod who has been working with us to update all the Micro.blog themes with improved Microformats markup and other fixes. A bunch have been updated already! Check your Plug-ins page every once in a while to see if there’s an update to a theme you’re using.

Hi Greg, nice to see you around. I hope you have a lot of fun with your experiments 🙂

Having my daily “what if I just scrapped everything and rewrote it all” moment.

Though, thankfully, this time it’s not because I’m working on some god awful code full of technical debt, I’m working on my own website. 😎 (I hope my sarcasm is being conveyed by that emoji)

Does anyone else constantly have this feeling? How do you convince yourself not to do it?
I’m sure I've heard a statistic about how it’s almost always more time consuming and more effort to start over, right?

What I Want From The Internet - Christopher Butler

You can, today, still go back to the can-to-can structure that a personal website, an RSS feed, and a browser provide. It’s not perfect. It leaves an enormous amount of signal unheard. It requires more work to find things, and to be found.

But you can do it. And I hope you do, in some way.
