How not to replace email (jamey.thesharps.us)
I’d say the single most important lesson to take away here, for a technology project at least, is that interoperability is key.
- Assume that no matter how amazing your new tech is, people are going to adopt it slowly.
- Give your early adopters every chance you can to use your offering together with the existing tools that they will continue to need in order to work with people who haven’t caught up yet.
- And if you’re building a communication tool, make it as simple as possible for others to build compatible tools, because they will expand the network of people your users can communicate with to populations you haven’t thought of and probably don’t understand.

This episode marks a full year that I’ve been creating weekly audio summaries of the IndieWeb newsletter! Thank you for listening!
I’d love any feedback that you have. Also, if you’d take a moment to leave a rating and a review wherever you get your podcasts, that’d be 💯!

@manton Which makes replies problematic, since they're only hosted on m.b right now. I need a way to have my replies end up on my site, permanently.
I post my replies on micro.blog from my website! Like this one! https://aaronparecki.com/replies -

@aaronpk I’m a complete noob. How do I do this???
It works by making a post on your site first, which links to the micro.blog post you're replying to, then sending a Webmention for that link. There's some more info here: https://indieweb.org/Webmention -

@aaronpk I added the webmentions plug in on my WP site. Just not exactly sure how to use it. Can you link an example?
That should hopefully work! Try writing a new post in Wordpress and include a link to https://aaronparecki.com/2018/02/18/10/ in the post, then you should see the comment appear there!
If you're having trouble, stop by the wordpress channel in the indieweb chat https://chat.indieweb.org/slack -
Just created a Lambda function that looks at my website's On This Day page, and publishes the memories to a special channel in my Microsub server. #IndieWeb #OwnYourMemories

@aaronpk WAAAAAY to much work. @replies should just be an option that gets published on your site somewhere automatically. Feature request.
Depends on your definition of "work". I don't host my site on micro.blog, so it's actually *way less work* to have micro.blog pull in my reply from the webmention I send. This way I don't have to do anything special to get my replies to micro.blog compared to how I have to do it for Twitter.
