So I made the public announcement to my Facebook friends that assume anything I post is coming from my personal site and any reactions will feed back. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#
tantek
what is disclosure
#
Loqi
A disclosure is a bit of content, typically on a home page, on an indie web site that proactively discloses some aspect about the site that the site owner wants the user to explicitly be aware of https://indieweb.org/disclosure
#
tantek
[miklb]: perhaps add yourself and link to your public announcement here? https://indieweb.org/disclosure#Backfeed_Examples
#
[miklb]
Well, this wasn’t a public announcement POSSE, just a regular FB post giving heads up.
#
tantek
mine wasn't either - I just put it in my "about"
#
tantek
any kind of announcement / heads-up counts - whether POSSEd or not
#
tantek
we're still collecting examples of this to gain experience

is there a way to make ownyourgram swap to https for my site?
#
aaronpk
you'll have to authenticate as the https version of your site. ownyourgram will see it as a new account. once you connect instagram to that one it will remove it from the previous one
#
aaronpk
e.g. type in https:// ... when logging in to ownyourgram
#
Ruxton
oh ok cool, was worried it would double up

#
[miklb]
This might be esoteric, but was just thinking about reply contexts and silos.
#
[miklb]
If I post an article or note and POSSE it to Twitter, any comment or reference to the link is considered a reply.
#
[miklb]
But unless someone with their own site sets the context in mf2 as a reply or bookmark, it’s just a generic webmention and generally displays differently.
#
[miklb]
displays differently on the original article.
#
[miklb]
I guess quote would be another option for mf2.
#
TheGillies
Any way to do micropub with a static site?
#
TheGillies
I guess I could build out a micropub microservice that triggered a site build
#
sknebel
TheGillies: that's generally how people do it. at least for jekyll there are a few around (see wiki /jekyll), I know dgold has just set up something for hugo, ...
#
sknebel
[miklb]: potential counter-examples: retweet with comment (shiws context, but not a reply), and if you link multiple tweets in a tweet afaik only the first or last gets a context
#
aaronpk
[miklb]: im not sure I see the problem? Replies on twitter are just replies. If you're talking about someone with their own site who also posses replies to twitter, then your receiving code can group the received indie reply and twitter reply because they should reference each other
wolftune joined the channel
#
[miklb]
Not saying there’s a problem. Was just reading through a post and replies on Adactio and I’m not sure he delineates where the reply is from. I assumed most were Twitter. Got me thinking out loud.
#
sknebel
I have no data on this, but I'd assume most people sending webmentions from their sites also mark up replies properly. But my blog posts are going to create more pure mentions just from the fact that they a) are longer and b) I can actually have proper links in there - I'll link a lot more stuff while writing them
#
[miklb]
But is it a reply if I write a short note about your post and link to it?
#
[miklb]
But if I write a tweet and and link to your note, and you backfeed from Twitter, it would pick that up as a reply?
#
sknebel
it shouldn't unless it is a reply
#
[miklb]
ah, ok
#
sknebel
random example from my twitter feed: https://twitter.com/Nick_Craver/status/887491092626780160 I wouldn't classify this as a reply
#
@Nick_Craver

#
aaronpk
That's why I show "mentions" separately from "replies"
#
[miklb]
the WP plugin differentiates mentions from replies. I don’t know why I assumed all backfed tweets would come in as a reply.
#
[miklb]
thanks for clarifying.

I just noticed an interesting new feature in the WordPress /Syndication_Links plugin: If I reply to a WP post with Known, the WP displays not only the Webmention, it also automagically displays the syndicated copy _with_ the webmention!

Chrisaldrich, that was why I wanted Semantic Linkbacks to store the syndication and location properties
#
[chrisaldrich]
I remember having seen the code and puzzled over it a bit. I'd even tweaked it to manually include a syndication link.
#
[chrisaldrich]
But I was honestly shocked that it pulled in the syndicated version from the other site!
#
[chrisaldrich]
Of course now I need to go in and tweak the CSS for it a bit now that I know it exists...
#
GWG
[Chrisaldrich], wait till one of your Webmentions has location.

Ruxton
are post kinds supposed to be marked up u-like-of or p-like-f? wiki says u-like-of, but wordpress post kinds looks to be doing p-like-of
#
sknebel
both can be correct, depending on what the actual markup looks like
#
sknebel
but generally I'd expect an u- as well
#
sknebel
(since you probably want to get the URL from a link)
#
Ruxton
ya, I just sent a like to a known install and WP plugins is marking post up p-like-of and noticed it didn't get parsed as a like by known

[Ruxton] The Fugees – The Score
#
sknebel
yeah, that should be a u-like-of
#
Ruxton
is there a difference in use case between u-like-of and p-like-of?
#
sknebel
it's microformats parsing rules. u-like-of says to take the URL of the thing (e.g. the href of an <a>, or in this case the url property of the nested h-cite microformat)
#
sknebel
p- means the text/name, that's why the parser output shows the title here as the "like-of"
#
Ruxton
the data for like of looks to have parsed ok in that link though
#
Ruxton
sorry just trying to understand what's happening
#
sknebel
yes, but the "value" is the title, and that's what known probably looks for
#
sknebel
if it were u-like-of, then the "value" would be the URL, and Known should recognize it
#
sknebel
(known also could look at the entire h-cite and check it's url, but it probably doesn't do that)

Ruxton

Anyone do homepage replies on their site and then POSSE it as a tweet with the user’s @name? I experimented with bridgy, but it did things differently (https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/760) I was wondering if this is a real use case that anyone has done?
#
Loqi
[EdwardHinkle] #760 Replying to a user's homepage creates a tweet to one of their recent tweets?
#
[eddie]
I think the primary use is for fallback. Since homepage webmentions aren’t supported super-widely the thought was that if someone doesn’t have homepage webmentions at least they might get the tweet. Seems like similar behavior and intention, I think?

Cool, wanted to make sure my brain was working properly ?

(replying to a home page is unusual and rarely used in indieweb, if ever. not sure what it would mean. :P)
#
sknebel
snarfed: especially with private webmention (where you don't want to mention everything in your post) we've been using it to start conversations
#
snarfed
sknebel: huh. so your CMS(es) have special code for private pages that only sends wms for class="u-in-reply-to"? interesting. wikified anywhere?
#
sknebel
snarfed: apparently not, will add it later
#
sknebel
but generalized, it could be mention is just a mention (talking about someone, if in private I don't want to notify you of that/give you access to the private conversation), in-reply-to as an explicit "hey, I'm talking to you"
#
snarfed
oh sure! just hadn't heard of it before. and it is an unfortunate overloading of in-reply-to, which doesn't actually mean that, and it'll make services like bridgy interpret and use it badly

snarfed: Ohhh, mention. That makes sense. Mentions don’t require any specific mf2 markup, do they?

yeah, for private webmentions that wasn't really a concern for now and we didn't feel like making up a special case, but now we have a clear example of something weird happening, so worth looking into it

so Quill and OwnYourGram are posting to my site, the attached photos are copied, but the site is returning a location header error, and "The file could not be moved" - not sure what I need to fix here

dixongexpat
Site is using default blog on Kirby CMS
#
aaronpk
sounds like maybe a file permissions error?
#
dixongexpat
@aaronpk I tried to redo file permissions and ended up borking my site for awhile LOL
#
dixongexpat
The site creates a folder, inserts a file, inserts the image.
#
dixongexpat
So I can see no missing files
#
dixongexpat
in the Kirby panel, I can see the image and the article text
#
dixongexpat
and it is properly dated and shows up on the timelin
#
aaronpk
searching that error, it looks like that's returned when kirby tries to copy the file and it fails
#
aaronpk
which is why i'm thinking it's some sort of file permissions error on the server
#
dixongexpat
the last line of the error is this: {"error":"error","error_description":"The file could not be moved"}

dixongexpat
that's from quill

yeah quill is showing you what the micropub endpoint returned
