@atomicpoet There's a Chrome extension, nos2x, that acts as a way to generate and carry the keys from one client to another, however my success in actually using it has been mixed. The only client I've actually been able to use successfully, I had to copy in the private key.
The idea of a client storing the private key seems like an enormous security concern, especially after the security incident!
@rmdes Have you gotten this to work for any other account? I'm also using the Friends and ActivityPub plugins and while my blog account seems to have followed this one, I can't seem to get it to follow anyone else.
This comment is from my own blog! I’m using the #ActivityPub plugin as the main driver of federation, with the other main IndieWeb plugins (webmention, syndication links, post kinds, etc) to fill in the gaps to bring back comments from elsewhere, incl. Mastodon, and to reply to posts/toots. The Friends plugin acts as a feed function and a way to add people, though it’s not perfect and it doesn’t work for discovery of new content.
With all of these, I’ve been able to implement lightweight federation, though there is room for improvement.
Yes, sweet! Real posts will include a link and an except and anything else will use the standard post format. Now I just need to make this work well in different use cases, like when I use an external Micropub app that can’t set the Post Format, so the published post defaults to Standard. And get rid of the annoying extra line when there are no #hashtags.
Did we get it this time?
Third time’s a charm.
Standard post format should have a link.
Let’s try this again.
Hey, whadda you know. My PHP knowledge hasn’t completely atrophied. I can now create posts with content and a link and simple statuses without one.
A couple weeks ago I mentioned that this place was transforming a bit, to become more of hub for contents of all types. Since then, I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to do things. I’ve been experimenting with adding a Reply button to the Friends plugin and I’ve been experimenting with modifying the specific content posted to social networks from this blog, trying to remove links back to the blog for simple statuses (they seem spammy) while maintaining it for regular posts like this one. The Reply button trial has worked but I ran into some roadblocks with modifying the post content.
I’m giving it another try with this very post. Let’s see if I’ve broken the plugin. If not, I’ll try to expand on my experiment by optionizing the concept.
