Setting up my personal website to be a bigger part of the #IndieWeb and I'm still horribly confused over webmentions. If I, quite literally, don't want to have your data or even sell your data, is there a way people can comment on my blog without me having to host *their comments?* like, maybe they could comment on a Mastodon instance and my site just pulls it in? I still don't get web mentions at all VS Comments. Ah well, time to play with kittens! In the meantime, if someone can point me to a nice novel about web mentions VS comments, link me!
Try to set up a bare bones #ActivityPub server has proved a touch harder than I was expecting. Anyone have any good up-to-date guides? Preferably one with solid examples.
All I'm looking to do is making something that can be followed, and make posts that can be interacted with from #Mastodon at least.
Thinking about how to publish machine-friendly updates for my blog. I was trying to compare RSS vs Atom and I noticed ActivityStreams is a superset of the domain. Does ActivityStreams supersedes RSS/ATOM?
Yes
No
I like Jason’s guidelines—very in keeping with The Session’s house rules.
And I really like his motivation for trying out comments:
The timing feels right. Twitter has imploded and social sites/services like Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon are jockeying to replace it (for various definitions of “replace”). People are re-thinking what they want out of social media on the internet and I believe there’s an opportunity for sites like kottke.org to provide a different and perhaps even better experience for sharing and discussing information. Shit, maybe I’m wrong but it’s definitely worth a try.
Yes! More experiments like this please! Experiments that aren’t just “let’s clone Twitter”.

My misadventures with ActivityPub continues!
So, this morning I posted a blog post on DramaTea, my blog for CDramas and Kdramas.
In a weird twist, my older posts are now appearing in the Fediverse version of the DramaTea blog and my new post is not appearing 😂 And even more mysteriously, my brid.gy integration which has never worked before started to work! Haha! What’s going on?
What can I say? The wordpress.com and Activitypub integration with the Fediverse is still a little rough around the edges.
Comments are also not reliably appearing either. I’ve posted a query on WordPress.com’s support forums, and it’s so far crickets!
Looks like I am not moving away from brid.gy anytime soon. Hope it improves and the team doesn’t ignore the problem.
Let’s see if this post appears on @elizabethtai.com

I really enjoy the ideas behind #IndieWeb and want to actively plan on being a part of it and bringing my sites and work into the fold. Putting this here for accountability :)

Are you a #fungi freak? Well then, does @rodfire8181 have the clique for you! With custom art and a lot of effort this webring is worth the truffle!
anyways, new post!!!!!!!!! #indieweb https://catgirlin.space/activity/fbfa5c1ee0dadcc27ca804beb359d842/
No matter how the other platforms sort out, I'm sticking around #Mastodon and the #Fediverse. The conversations here are unique and I've had some of my best gaming chats this year here. Also expanding into the #IndieWeb. Federation is a fantastic thing.
