So nice to see random websites support Webmentions!
@pluszysta Też mam od dłuższego czasu chęci dołożyć cegiełkę do budowy #indieweb ale pewnie nigdy się nie zdecyduję na konkretne oprogramowanie

If you are using Bridgy Fed to federate your posts from your personal site, I highly recommend you first run the W3C Link Checker on a post, and verify there are no “red” errors (or fix any you find), before pinging Bridgy Fed to federate the post.
The reason is that if your post contains broken links, especially broken https: links as part of an @-mention, a weird set of timeout interactions will occur between #BridgyFed and #Mastodon that will cause any Mastodon instances following your posts to drop your federated posts as if they had not been received.
Further, those instances will also ignore any UPDATES to that post.

Tip: use the W3C Link Checker and fix any errors before federating with Bridgy Fed.

Bridgy Fed is attempting to fetch it and times out. When a #fediverse instance fetches the AS2 version of a post, and Bridgy Fed attempts to fetch that post’s links to construct the AS2 for the post, Bridgy Fed times out, which then likely times out the original AS2 request, so #Mastodon instances never get the requested AS2 post.
There are multiple possible problems:
* content authoring errors (including bad links, links going bad)
* Bridgy Fed attempting to retrieve every link in a post in order to construct the AS2 for a post, possibly with too long timeouts, so the overall AS2 construction takes too long
* Mastodon timing out when requesting the AS2 for a post, then giving up and never trying again (e.g. even when it receives an UPDATE for the post)

Two interesting quotes from a video that stuck with me and got me thinking.
19 years of https://microformats.org/ #microformats! (as of yesterday, the 20th)
A few highlights from the past year:
POSSE (Publish on your Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere) has grown steadily as a common practice in the #IndieWeb community, personal sites, CMSs (like Withknown, which itself reached 10 years in May!), and services (like https://micro.blog and Bridgy) for over a decade.
In its 12th year, POSSE broke through to broader technology press and adoption beyond the community. For example:
* David Pierce’s (@pierce@mas.to) excellent article @TheVerge.com (@verge@mastodon.social): “The poster’s guide to the internet of the future” (https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/23/23928550/posse-posting-activitypub-standard-twitter-tumblr-mastodon):
“Your post appears natively on all of those platforms, typically with some kind of link back to your blog. And your blog becomes the hub for everything, your main home on the internet.
Done right, POSSE is the best of all posting worlds.”
* David also recorded a 29 minute podcast on POSSE with some great interviews: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-posters-guide-to-the-new-internet/id430333725?i=1000632256014
* Cory Doctorow (@craphound.com @doctorow@mamot.fr) declared in his Pluralistic blog (@pluralistic.net) post: “Vice surrenders” (https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/24/anti-posse/):
“This is the moment for POSSE (Post Own Site, Share Everywhere [sic]), a strategy that sees social media as a strategy for bringing readers to channels that you control”
* And none other than Molly White (@mollywhite.net @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io) of @web3isgoinggreat.com (@web3isgreat@indieweb.social) built, deployed, and started actively using her own POSSE setup as described in her post titled “POSSE” (https://www.mollywhite.net/micro/entry/202403091817) to:
"… write posts in the microblog and automatically crosspost them to Twitter/Mastodon/Bluesky, while keeping the original post on my site."
Congrats Molly and well done!
In its 19th year, the microformats formal #microformats2 syntax and popular vocabularies h-card, h-entry, and h-feed, kept growing across IndieWeb (micro)blogging services and software like CMSs & SSGs both for publishing, and richer peer-to-peer social web interactions via #Webmention.
Beyond the IndieWeb, the rel=me microformat, AKA #relMe, continues to be adopted by services to support #distributed #verification, such as these in the past year:
* Meta Platforms #Threads user profile "Link" field¹
* #Letterboxd user profile website field²
For both POSSE and microformats, there is always more we can do to improve their techniques, technologies, and tools to help people own their content and identities online, while staying connected to friends across the web.
Got suggestions for this coming year? Join us in chat:

Full post: https://tantek.com/2024/044/t1/twenty-years-microformats
Aside: This is an even shorter summary of that post from ~200 days ago, which #Mastodon readers never got due to a Mastodon #federation bug (details in https://tantek.com/t5Yo1).
Since early 2023, here are the top three updates & interesting developments in microformats:
1. Growing rel=me adoption for distributed verification (✅ in Mastodon etc.)
* Wikipedia, Threads, omg.lol
2. Proposal to merge #microformats2 h-review into h-entry, since in practice (e.g. on #indieweb) reviews are just entries with a bit more.
3. #metaformats adoptions, implementations, iteration

Aside: This is a summary of a longer post from ~200 days ago¹, which #Mastodon readers never got due to a Mastodon #federation bug (instances returned 202 for post inbox delivery, but did not show post to followers or on local profiles, details in https://tantek.com/t5Yo1).
I wrote a retrospective last year: https://tantek.com/2023/047/t1/nineteen-years-microformats
Since then, here are the top three updates & interesting developments in microformats:
1. Growing rel=me adoption for distributed verification (✅ in Mastodon etc.)
* Wikipedia, Threads, omg.lol support
2. A proposal to merge #microformats2 h-review into h-entry, since reviews are in practice (e.g. on the #indieweb) always entries with a bit more information.
3. #metaformats adoptions, implementations, and iteration

Twenty years ago this past February, Kevin Marks and I introduced #microformats in a conference presentation.

Science fiction played a large part in my youth, this is a story about some of the shows that influenced me during the 1970's.
