“The Weekend I Accidentally Walked Through Coorg” by Suneela & Yeswanth

«A Friday night with no plan turned into a bus to Madikeri, a walk through forest paths, a few strange encounters, and a Coorg story I still remember more than ten years later.»

I don't really know what it does, but the vibes are vaguely IndieWeb with the AT protocol as the golden hammer.

I built a small AI assistant that drafts Mastodon and Bluesky posts for my blog.
After 40+ published posts, the most useful lessons were:
• Don't hand strategy to the LLM when you have almost no engagement data
• Treat it as an assistant, not an autonomous agent
• Human review matters more than sophisticated prompting
• A Python container is often easier than serverless
• The whole setup costs about €0.20/month

Fixing my ActivityPub and WebMention comments to make them play nicely.



I was struggling to get both comments and replies to post while only showing “facepile” for likes and boosts. I had no one to blame but myself as I coded the theme from scratch.

I’m posting this so the next time I have this problem (there is always a next time), future me can look up the answer.

This time, present and ast me had no answer or even much of a clue.

After giving up and asking ChatGPT WTF things were not doing what I wanted (show replies and mentions at the same time), I found a workaround, which left my comment count off.

My fix to show all comment types (but not likes and boosts) was an array constant in functions.php (theme).

define('LORDMATT_COMMENT_TYPES_NO', array(
'like',
'repost',
'boost',
));

This defines a list of comment types that don’t need to be shown. Defining this way only works in PHP 7+, so use it with care.

Then I did this in comments.php (theme) to reach the “it works, nobody touch anything” state.

$comments = array_filter(
$comments,
function( $comment ) {
$type = strtolower( get_comment_type( $comment ) );
return !in_array(
$type,
LORDMATT_COMMENT_TYPES_NO,
true
);
}
);
wp_list_comments(array(
'type'=>'all',
'max_depth' => 10,
),$comments);

My comment count was off. This is because I was undoing whatever filter was trying to help me but only for the show comments part.

This time, the same approach worked, but a filter in functions.php

add_filter('get_comments_number', function($count, $post_id) {
$comments = get_comments([
'post_id' => $post_id,
'status' => 'approve',
'type' => 'all',
]);
$comments = array_filter($comments, function($c) {
$type = strtolower(get_comment_type($c));
return !in_array($type, LORDMATT_COMMENT_TYPES_NO, true);
});
return count($comments);
}, 10, 2);

To be honest, I’m not the greatest fan of functions defined in function calls, but it got the job done.

There are probably better ways to approach this. I’ll probably write something better commented and tested for efficiency so I can roll this out as a fix for a few other places, where all the mixed comment types don’t work properly.

Feel free to criticise my rushed code.

I’m sure that, with some work, I could write a plugin that makes sure it all just works. This hack will do me for now, though.

I’ll update this post if I do something sensible with the code.

Use at your own risk: This current code is hackish and too small to worry about, so I release the truly minimal value I bring to the party for this specific code into the public domain insofar as is reasonable and mine to do so.

2 weeks of Cheeppy posts on Mastodon. Looking back.

We shipped 4 new recipes (sunglasses, swimwear, jewelry, shirts). Featured 3 customer wins across Shopify, Wix, Etsy. Argued for editorial over clinical, taste over equipment, mood over category.

Next: more recipes, more creators earning revenue, more bilingual content.

We are here for the indie brands.

I think someone should make an anti-SEO web accessibility guide. Discussion of proper website structure is so annoyingly intertwined with SEO. I would be proud of bad SEO as i see it as a rejection of modern enshittification and corporate control. I want straight answers to things like "what happens for real users if I put certain content above the h1" and stuff like that.
