    @aaronpk really enjoying the custom emoji, thanks

    Aaron Parecki
    uhoh, that's just a regular emoji, and it looks like I'm sending relative URLs to Mastodon so that gets linked to a nonexistent page on cybre.space! So many edge cases!

    An independent web doesn't necessarily mean an open web. Thinking about private sites and networks for groups, families, personal use. #indieweb #justathought
    Aaron Parecki
    Agreed, and an open web doesn't imply a public web. We're experimenting with private content too! https://indieweb.org/private_posts

    Why not just use OpenID Connect?

    @aaronpk PS: I should mention that I started following you from the other instance. But still could not see your post before searching for it.

    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah that sounds like Mastodon's limitation where it doesn't actually go fetch posts from people if someone on the server isn't already following them. Thanks for providing an example where that was confusing!

    @aaronpk yes. Exactly tried that. It does not work. Also, I can't seem to see the boost I did from a different instance looking at this account.

    Aaron Parecki
    I think I fixed it... give it a try again?

    @aaronpk for some reason, this post does not federate well with all Mastodon instances. I'm trying to boost it from another account elsewhere, but I can't seem to see it. Any clue?

    Aaron Parecki
    by any chance, are you trying to paste that post's URL into the search box on other Mastodon instances?

    hm, I've been incrementally implementing ActivityPub, doing as little as possible each time. I don't think I've tried what you're doing yet, trying to find my post from an instance that is not already following me. I'm not actually sure what I need to implement to make that work though! Any ideas?

    Look for mf2 first, use Mercury as a fallback

    If the page has mf2, that is likely to be much better data than what Mercury finds. Indiepaper should first check if it finds an article via mf2, and if it doesn't, then can use Mercury to extract what it can.

    IndieAuth sounds interesting as a more generic way for federated applications to allow app registrations https://indieauth.spec.indieweb.org/

    The question is how do we adapt this after our current, extremely similar but somewhat different system has been in production use for around 2 years #mastodev

    Aaron Parecki
    The existing Mastodon API uses OAuth 2, right? Seems like you'd be able to add this on top and still also support the existing behavior without any changes. You'd get the benefit of auto discovery and global client IDs. Maybe we should chat about this at the next w3c call?

    Careful though if anything on there is supposed to send e-mail: .xyz is among the TLDs that are very strong spam-indicators.
    Aaron Parecki
    j/k, I already forgot the domain I registered. It's actually p3k.app!

    Support fallback to RelMeAuth for websites missing authorization endpoint

    Aaron Parecki
    Unfortunately this won't really work.

    Even if you could sign in to Aperture, you still wouldn't be able to use any of the reader apps. The reader apps expect to be able to get an access token in order to make authenticated requests to Aperture. Getting an access token requires having an authorization endpoint and token endpoint.

    If I allowed people to log in to Aperture without fully setting up IndieAuth, it would just be confusing because then they'd get an error trying to sign in to any apps. I think it's better to not mislead people at that stage, and require that they set up IndieAuth before being able to sign in to Aperture.

    Wow, really interesting.

    Is this plugin on Github? https://wordpress.org/plugins/indieauth/
    Aaron Parecki
    Yep! https://github.com/indieweb/wordpress-indieauth

    That's annoying that wordpress.org doesn't have a link to the GitHub source.

    Being the change isn’t enough

    Aaron Parecki
    fwiw, I registered p3k.xyz p3k.app and I'm planning on eventually moving all my p3k.io subdomains over to it. From a practical perspective, it will take a while, but it's something.

    we've got the seeds of federated twitter, instagram, and youtube. it seems there's a gap in the federated reddit space. group/tag/topic organized links/text.

    @aaronpk ah what i should have said is the feed includes sites that are implemented in ... p3k.io... etc.

    Aaron Parecki
    ooh yes I see what you mean now. Sometimes I forget that my website's software has a name, because it's not really packaged up for anyone else.

    my mastodon feed now includes accounts from pixelfed, pleroma.site, p3k.io, and mastodon. i thank diaspora for blazing the trail. the second wave will or maybe have already reached critical mass. #fediverse

    Aaron Parecki
    I think you mean from aaronparecki.com not p3k.io! My site is now natively a member of the fediverse!

    #46 Feature Request: Reposts Only view

    Aaron Parecki
    That's a use case I totally hadn't considered! Since there's already a dropdown to select certain types to only include, this is an easy change!

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
