Following multiple requests, we've made the decision to turn on Mastodon's latest discovery setting...

External sites will now be able to see referral traffic from indieweb.social 🚀

This setting allows publishers to see where the traffic to their site is coming from. The more Fediverse they see, the more they'll start taking decentralised social media seriously.

It won't signal out individual users, only the server 🕵️

Steve Bate has a long blog post about why ActivityPub’s client-to-server protocol has not been implemented:

Yet despite its promise, ActivityPub C2S has seen minimal real-world adoption. Most Fediverse platforms — including Mastodon, the dominant implementation — have actively avoided supporting it. Instead, they expose custom APIs that tightly couple client behavior to server internals.

More clients should use Micropub. It is also a W3C recommendation, but unlike C2S, Micropub is already widely implemented and has evolved through extensions to accommodate most real-world use cases.

Earlier this week I posted about rough edges I encountered using WebC. I wanted to follow up with specific technical details from the ones I documented in the process of converting my website to it.
