@edheil Yes. Here's a colophon page on my main site that outlines most of the pieces for many of my sites: https://boffosocko.com/about/colophon/

 

@edheil Because of the IndieWeb principle of plurality, you've got a tremendous amount of choice. Part of the issue is that there are SO MANY options and potential combinations of doing things.

What do you want the site to do? How much admin time to you want to spend on it? How flexible and modifiable do you want it to be? What skills do you have? What skills do you want to work on?

Both of the options you mention are excellent, though there's probably more immediate flexibility in WordPress with plugins. If you want something with no admin, but still some reasonable flexibility then micro.blog is a great way to go. (All three support a very broad range of all the IndieWeb building blocks. Of course, this doesn't even touch the custom-built or static site generator spaces which are also available options. And who's to say you should only have one site? ;)

This is a great question to ask in the IndieWeb Dev chat channel for advice from a bigger group of people with a tremendous wealth and diversity of building experience. https://chat.indieweb.org/dev

 

Have you detailed the process of importing the content somewhere? I'm curious what the easiest methods for this actually look like now.

 

Looking good James! I'm curious to hear what you think of the Known experience beyond the nginx set up portion. I'm running an older version and ought to upgrade sooner or later, but I'm worried some of the plugins I've come to rely on no longer work in the newer regime.

 

@edheil It creates a 1 to 1 correspondence between the post on your site & your post on Twitter to make it easier for Bridgy to match and sending responses. It also makes it easier to delete copies in the future because you'll know where else on the web you've posted things.

Settings at /wp-admin/admin.php?page=syndication_links will let you set syndication targets so you can use a simple checkbox for cross posting. I particularly love that it dovetails with https://quill.p3k.io/ if you use that with Micropub for posting short notes to your website.

 

@edheil Bridgy matches posts on your site to Twitter using one of a few methods so that it can backfeed the proper replies to the appropriate posts. Providing it with syndication links is usually easiest, and on WordPress try: https://indieweb.org/u-syndication#How_to_link_from_WordPress

David Shanske's Syndication Links plugin also should have a checkbox set up (non-Gutenberg) for more easily syndicating to Twitter and other services if you like. There are many ways to publish to Brid.gy without visiting it for each. Using Shankse's plugin which sends it Webmentions is probably the easiest, though it may require proper markup in your theme. For the technical part see: https://brid.gy/about#publishing which explains in outline how it works.

I think many of the options are documented either here or on related pages: https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started_on_WordPress

For other options and advice, it may be best/easiest to visit the IndieWeb WordPress chat at chat.indieweb.org/wordpress

 

@edheil Easiest to think of it as you have one "account" for each website. Then each site has different sections for each social silo you connect it to.

 

@edtechdev I seem to recall some Drupal work, but haven't looked in a while. I'm surprised there isn't more within the ActivityPub specific space itself. As for markup there definitely isn't a 1-1, onto mapping between the many flavors. Perhaps @KevinMarks may have a resource?

 

Replied to a post on edheil.com :

I do like this idea that we can interact directly from site to site via Webemention. :)

 

@edheil Which of the various methods (manually, plugin(s), other) are you using? On fragility front, I'm not too worried as it is open source and has folks helping. It's also only a bridge as I can reply directly to your site.

Other than maybe or with the ActivityPub plugin, are there any other projects that support multiple post types/kinds/objects so that one could have *one* Fediverse home instead of 10?

 

At Homebrew Website Club watching with great anticipation as @KevinMarks adds microformats to the base Tumblr theme to help make it more IndieWeb friendly.

@ChengduLittleA You're not doing them all manually like this are you? https://aaronparecki.com/2018/06/30/11/your-first-webmention 😹

 

@omgmog@indieweb.social Glad to see others using Known and using it to syndicate to Mastodon!

 

@pixelroiber@mastodon.social @pixelfed@mastodon.social Last I checked, this was the state of the art with respect to PixelFed and Brid.gy https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/927
