Maybe one day any URI can represent a Fediverse actor.

In my silly ActivityPub add-on plugin for WordPress, I try to “translate” “#IndieWeb-style” replies (i.e., posts microformatted as replies) to proper ActivityPub replies, a process that involves fetching the remote page with an `Accept: application/activity+json` header (which will fail if they have “Authorized Fetch” enabled), and falling back to some regex with a little WebFinger mixed in (to try and identify “Fediverse” accounts)

Our community member, Riiku, dove into a research rabbit hole and returned to tell us what he found about using Omnivore with alternative search engines.

New #indieweb trick on my part: I'm using Pocket to store the things I'm reading that aren't books, and I've set up an IFTTT recipe to post a read to my site whenever I save something new to Pocket. It seems to be the most accessible way of doing this. I tried with Inoreader, but couldn't figure out how to... acarson.wtf

It seems to be the most accessible way of doing this. I tried with Inoreader, but couldn't figure out how to get IFTTT to just pull from the read pile over there. And since I don't use Pocket for the thing it's intended for anyway, I figured this would work. And I'm pleased to report that it does.

Please don't hype #Ladybird. There is #servo that needs the attention!

I'm a big fan of other people's /now pages but haven't created mine yet because I've had so many open questions to figure out.

To get one step closer, I took some time to scope my upcoming /now page.

I am an non-Mastodon user so I feel like using the Mastodon icon would be misleading. Otherwise, I been looking at Fediverse icon to use for my blog so I can link my social media links. What do you think and if you are not fond, what would be better icons to say "I am using Fedi".

What a cool idea by @alex to use GitHub Actions and Playwright to automatically take a screenshot of a website on a regular basis and store them in a git repository.

I'll look into doing the same with my site, seeing how it will evolve over the years will be fun.

#IndieWeb

its still a work in progress but i made a very simple comment section for my https://videos.ofafox.com/ site and i plan to expand it to my games site and maybe more as well.

so now you dont need to be on youtube to leave a comment on my video. however, comments made on my site do require my approval before they are public. i do this because i want to keep comments constructive and keep out spam and hate spewing. but i am open to criticism.

This will be a nice feature if/when it's opened up to people other than big news publishers, but I'm disappointed that @Mastodon decided to roll their own opengraph meta tag instead of using the existing web standard `link rel="author"`.

Am I the only one who finds it weird that mastodon has decided to invent a whole new open graph tag for this purpose, rather than use the already moderately widely used rel="author" attribute?

(Apart from the fact that it seems a bit proud to unilaterally claim the fediverse: namespace/prefix for mastodon)

A quick note on cross-posting

In IndieWeb parlance, POSSE means Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere. I like the concept. Today, I’m changing a few things about how I syndicate my content.

All my main feeds (posts, notes, likes) will continue to automatically syndicate to my account over at Micro.blog. Micro.blog is a wonderful platform. While I no longer host my content […]

@Flipboard @Mastodon Added a comment about it: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/30398#issuecomment-2204184781

It’s sad to not see more cooperation between #Mastodon / #Fediverse and #IndieWeb

The latter is focused on social semantics for the web and the former for social semantics for ActivityPub – when the two overlap they should coordinate – and articles are very much web pages and something the #IndieWeb knows best practices around

I’m a little puzzled about why the new proposed fediverse:creator tag is only for approved web sites. Just a slow rollout? Clearly it’s most useful for news organizations with multiple writers, where there’s not a one-to-one mapping between author and fediverse account.

I wrote about RSS, and it has been 5 years since I started to use it.

The awfulness and disappointment surrounding the Ladybird developers just emboldens my view that the real solution to the browser problem is to build a less bloated web. Building a browser shouldn't be an undertaking comparable to building an operating system.
