@ricmac I've got an article on feed readers and the open web I've been working on recently that may be right for altPlatform.
Let me know if you're accepting submissions and, if so, where I can send it for review/consideration.
This has been driving me crazy, so I stripped everything down and rebuilt from scratch. I'm not sure why it didn't show up before when I previously cycled through other plugins as the potential cause/conflict, but it appears that Automattic's [WP Super Cache ](https:/
Turning caching off on this particular plugin (or un-activating it altogether) allows the retrieve button to work properly. My JS skills are woeful and I'm not seeing anything on direct inspection that would cause this problem when it's enabled. If anyone has useful thoughts about the conflict, I'd love to hear them.
It appears that WP Super Cache hasn't updated since October, so it likely wasn't a change on their end, but rather a change when Post Kinds upgraded.

Another interesting piece that's related to webmention and feed readers is the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/">W3C Micropub spec</a> that I believe was released on the same day as ActivityPub. There are already feed readers like www.woodwind.xyz that allow you to not only subscribe and read your friends who publish to their own sites, but you can use it to micropub "likes" and "replies" to those posts directly from the reader and to publish them directly to your own website if it supports the micropub spec (and yes, there's already a WordPress plugin for that). These micropubbed posts can then, in turn, send webmentions from your own site to your friends' posts to be displayed as comments there.
More details on all of these and how they can interact can be found on the wiki at https:/
Manton, after having heard/seen your microcasts (and those of others) as well as your mention of podcasting tools above, I thought I'd point out that there's a micropub tool called Screech for podcasts: https:/
