Mohawks:
- (asked about the word 'cyberpunk') ... "I mean if I didn't know what it was supposed to mean, I would think it would mean some guy in a mohawk, it's like modems and mohawks, or something. A guy with a mohawk and a mac." -- William Gibson, Fresh Air, 1989 https://smorgasborg.artlung.com/William_Gibson_Interview/
Matrix disabled on Libera for good: https://libera.chat/news/official-matrix-bridge-farewell
Bridgy - bridge your posts across multiple services: Mastodon, Bluesky, etc. and get replies back for some of them, if you support Webmention
static site generators
POSSE and PESOS
- POSSE and PESOS
- https://git.garrido.io/gabriel/mastodon-markdown-archive/ :: good for PESOS, from Mastodon back to own site
- https://github.com/microsoft/markitdown - Parse HTML and other document types to markdown.
- Site Deaths - site-deaths - a great reminder that if you don't have a copy of it, it might go away with short notice
Sophie Koonin (https://localghost.dev/) brings in Mastodon posts as comments
Websites as "native" Fediverse members - https://maho.dev/2024/02/a-guide-to-implement-activitypub-in-a-static-site-or-any-website/
What's the difference between Bridgy Fed and Bridgy Classic?
For Reilly: can you drop a link to one of your posts on your site that you're not getting webmentions back from Mastodon?
- https://reillyspitzfaden.com/posts/2025/01/databending-part-1/ and shared on Mastodon as https://hachyderm.io/@reillypascal/113776964186364648
- gRegor Morrill: I think if you add this inside your h-entry it will work:
<a href="https://hachyderm.io/@reillypascal/113776964186364648" class="u-syndication"></a>
- (up to you if you want to make the link visible)
- More in this documentation: https://brid.gy/about#link
- On your https://brid.gy/ profile page for Mastodon, there should be a link to crawl your posts for syndication links
- (up to you if you want to make the link visible)
https://www.jwz.org/hacks/mastodon-to-wp-comments.php is a great tool to import Mastodon comments (into WordPress) but shows the flow from Fediverse.
New wiki page this week: streak Is anyone tracking and specifically posting streaks on their own website?
