I'm so glad @Hypothes_is is recording the sessions of . So much valuable material about and pedagogy to absorb. This will need a few rounds of notes.

@reading @leppert First, let me say a resounding THANK YOU for all your work and dedication to @Reading! Congratulations on a long run of a fantastic and flexible little service. I know I and many others will miss it desperately.

@lordmatt I'll have to watch this post to see where it goes.
This Twitter search for a common pattern will find lots of sites https://twitter.com/search?q=test%20webmention&src=typed_query&f=live

 

@flancian handling is fine though I think there's more raw value in [[wikilinks]]. I've run into the issue between the two from a more natural text perspective on my own website in the past. How do you distinguish or create equality between something like and [[commonplace books]] for example? How do you crosslink things like this or versus the more explicit [[educational technology]] where one is done primarily to save characters on a text limited platform like Twitter?

 
 

@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

 

I can only wonder how many years ago Alito and his staff wrote the bulk of this massive paper?

@mareklachauthor @mareklach@mastodon.xyz Context collapse strikes again. I'm all-too-aware of the buy out of Twitter and its toxicity. My comment was 44 billion percent snark. I've got a single user ActivityPub instance with over 16k posts compared to 11.3k on the birdsite. 😉

I didn't think Building a Second Brain came out until mid-June?! Though I have seen a copy circulating in the wild via Twitter... I'm really curious to know what you think of it. Would you use the broader template of what he's selling?

 

It's looking like it may be worthwhile to set up my WithKnown instance to not only syndicate to Twitter, but also to Mastodon? Let's see if this works?

 

It seems like a good day to highlight this short video presentation I made last year at an academic conference and posted to my own website:
"A Twitter of Our Own" https://boffosocko.com/2021/04/26/a-twitter-of-our-own-at-oerxdomains-2021-conference/

 

Not sure why, but seems like a lot of people on Twitter are sharing this link about downloading an archive of your data: https://twitter.com/settings/download_your_data
