To the #Eleventy community: does anyone know of any projects to make an 11ty website a first class member of the #fediverse, similar to what The Verge is doing (via WordPress it seems like) and 404 Media will do once Ghost is ready (ref https://digiday.com/media/why-publishers-are-preparing-to-federate-their-sites/). I did implement #webmentions on Cybercultural.com, using Bridgy etc, but it was unsatisfactory so I took it offline. I do want Cybercultural to be an “actor” on the fediverse tho, so now thinking about how to achieve that via 11ty.
I did a write up of setting up Webmentions on my site! I had mentioned it earlier, but there was one stumbling block that took me longer to figure out.
Webmentions let me get notified when people share my posts, respond to my comments on other sites, etc., and lets me use my site for a lot of the kinds of interactions I'd otherwise have to do on social media.
We need an #RSS reader with "Reply" and "Repost" buttons. These actions would occur on a blog you connect with #Micropub or #XMLRPC, and use #WebMentions to notify the originating site.
Someone from bsky mentioned he doesn’t show peoples’ avatars and just uses this library for identicons. It looks amazing! I will use this too for rendering webmentions in my blog. https://github.com/laurentpayot/minidenticons
Hey @henry just saw your talk at #11tyConf, loving the energy! 🔥🔥🔥
Too bad you only had 11 minutes, I'm currently exploring #WebMentions and would've loved to hear about it more in-depth. Did you already blog about this, by any chance?
Publish a post on your website, and link to a post on my website. Then paste the URL of your post on your website into the new box and click the up arrow.
I would like to filter out all the empty 'bridgy response' comments. It is webmention comments of the 'like' and repost' type, which are displayed seperately.
Maybe a silly #webmentions question, but is there a way you can recover deleted webmentions at webmention.io? I was having trouble with a Cybercultural post that didn't display all webmentions via Bridgy, so I manually deleted the ones that were in webmention.io/dashboard and then re-submitted the relevant Mastodon post to Bridgy — thinking that might send all the mentions to webmention.io this time. But nothing is showing up in webmention dashboard... cc @aaronpk
I've been pecking away at adding #webmentions to my #eleventy website for Cybercultural. Nearly there now, via documentation from the Eleventy community (special shoutout to @bobmonsour's page: https://www.bobmonsour.com/posts/adding-webmentions-to-my-site/) and also some coding help from Perplexity! I just need to add more styling and will be able to go-live hopefully before next week's edition of Cybercultural. #fediverse
New addition to my #WebComponents collection: <mastodon-post>!
Embed mastodon posts on your web pages by progressively enhancing a regular link and without the need for an <iframe>. Use the built in semantic template or apply your own! Read more about it here: https://darn.es/mastodon-post-web-component/
All this sudden attention to the fact that social media replies (loosely defined as #Webmentions) to your blog posts are likely coming from people who have utterly no clue that they are also being published on your blogs, where were you last month when the push from some of the #IndieWeb to "#ActivityPub everything" was being questioned. 😉
Everything on the #IndieWeb wiki looks insanely cool, and there is a lot of documentation, but am I the only one who hasn't a clue how to adopt 99% of what is on there?
#ActivityPub and #Fedi might be hard for folks to grok at first, but the on-ramp for #WebMentions for me looks like the Cliff's of Dover.
That said, I am acknowledging that plenty of folks are using IndieWeb to make truly insane things. I just want in! :P
Well that's been quite a tough few days coding for this very enthusiastic but amateur developer. Anyway, managed to get "webmentions" working on my @eleventy based blog.
Now I'm hooked... I gotta get that set up for my website. I currently use Giscuss, which is fine, but it is also limited to users wanting to sign in with Github to comment. Adding #webmentions would be something else 😍
