@mastohost@mastodon.social I totally want the local posting feature in Hometown. Is there any chance you offer it as a hosted package? Would you consider offering it? I suspect a lot of teachers/colleges would love it for this functionality. https:/
@pixelroiber@mastodon.social @pixelfed@mastodon.social Last I checked, this was the state of the art with respect to PixelFed and Brid.gy https:/
@flancian Given the growing number of people on platforms like Obsidian, Logseq, Blot, et al. which can store data in OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox (not Github, which has higher technical bar), Agora import support for them would go a long way toward plurality & participation.
@mdrockwell You can get feeds of YouTube channels using this simple conversion: `https:/
@Cambridgeport90 For the theme, that seems like something Pfefferle would fix pretty quickly (and for everyone else whose got the problem) if you filed it as an issue on the theme repo on Github.
If you haven't come across it, related to the vagaries of keeping up with corporate APIs, I remember Gina Trapani and Anil Dash indicating that they closed their product Think Up (available on GitHub) because their engineering team was spending huge amounts of time keeping up with changing APIs of Facebook, Twitter, et al. Perhaps it could serve as an additional and illustrative case study?
I haven't used SemPress in a long time, but if I recall, I think that it's actually something in the theme that is actually setting the numbers in the titles that you've seeing in #3. Though you may not want to be plumbing around the depths of GitHub, here's the issue (and the reason), which was left unfixed: https:/
The acquisition of GitHub reminds me about how versatile it can be for a variety of use cases. I hope Microsoft continues iterating on it to expand its usability to reach an even larger audience.

@mapkyca @jeremyjmonroe @withknown I haven't seen a plugin either, but it should be doable via API

@jgmac1106 If you're as poor a theme tinkerer as I am but about to embark on adding microformats to a theme, I might recommend taking a look at the individual commit changes that David Shanske goes through in converting the base Twenty Sixteen Theme into a more IndieWeb friendly theme. The list of commits with useful labels can be found here: https:/
I would recommend starting at the bottom and then slowly reading your way to the top to try to understand what he's doing in each section. Note that there are one or two places where he splits a particular change up between a few commits or occasionally backtracks. There's also a section in which he "rips" out the WP core functionality of Post Formats in favor of using the Post Kinds Plugin--I'd recommend you don't do this to make your resultant theme the most flexible. I believe there's also a section in which he adds a "comment walker" and later removes it because the experimentaly functionality was later merged into the Webmentions/Semantic Linkbacks plugin to better handle comments, so you can safely ignore may of those chunks which are now stable.
I suspect that between this and the code models for SemPress and Independent Publisher (which should also have some David Shanske specific commits and related discussion that you can look up) you may be somewhat better off.
Good luck! We're all cheering for you!
The theme does this resizing on purpose. There's a work around noted here: https:/
You can also surf through prior closed tickets to see some additional thoughts on the matter.
Wait... What?! There's a reading plugin for @WithKnown? It appears to be based on Jonathan LaCour's Food plugin, but portends some interesting new "read" post functionality within the IndieWeb community.

RSVP invited · Issue #156 · pfefferle/wordpress-semantic-linkbacks https:/
When Brid.gy sends webmentions for people invited via a Facebook POSSE copy, the webmentions for these people don't show up properly in comments because `semantic_linkbacks_type` is set to "invite" instead of "rsvp:invited".
Manually effecting the change in the database provides the expected display. See: http:/
@indiescripter Like most things social, I've been on @MastodonProject for over a year: https:/
I occasionally syndicate content there, though I have yet to begin backfeeding interactions. I suspect something big will be on the horizon for doing so in the coming months however.
Some of my thoughts and what I've read over the last year on the topic can be found here: http:/
Within the past month [it's guestimated that over 1 million webmentions](https:/
Mastodon already supports most microformats for webmention to be implemented more easily. https:/
There are already a number of open source tools that might also be bootstrapped for something like this as well: https:/
