This made me think about finally adding “card” metadata to my pages after me resisting these non-open standards for ages.

Of course, the Twitter dev docs have a Not Found in the middle of their Summary Card example: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-for-websites/cards/overview/summary

Hello WordPress

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

Community Guidelines for Kottke.org

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.

As I said in my comment:

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

Implemented liking/favoriting of #Mastodon posts via Bridgy Fed on my site! (Actually of any post on any site that #BridgyFed can discover an #ActivityPub endpoint to send likes to.)

Tested it by liking @evanp.me (@evan@cosocial.ca @evanpro)’s reply¹ confirming that he received a notification from my prior post². I sent a #Webmention from my like post³ to Bridgy Fed, and it #federated the like to Evan’s server, which subsequently showed up in the "favourites" list of Evan’s post:

https://cosocial.ca/@evan/111237962392745000/favourites

Every step that connects heterogenous #socialWeb systems & protocols feels like progress.

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 :)
