Number one on the homepage 😳

Looks like my post was shared on hacker news! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49136063

I want soft networks that people can configure themselves that just pop up you do your thing and they pop right off.

There’s so much overhead in creating an identity on a service like bluesky but what about just for the little things.

We can do that privately, but what if it isn’t private.

This could be a really great service, sort of a real world validator. Track how is RSS being supported by readers, not just the content side.

I did something like this when writing the 0.91 spec, we had pretty much the whole world on my.userland.com, I wanted to see if feeds were respecting the numeric limits on size in the Netscape spec.

Hello Matthias, thanks for the plugin (and the others webmentions etc).

I am seeing that direct replies on rss.chat are being pulled back to my post, not replies to replies. This is the expected behaviour?

So far, I've tested FreshRSS, Feedbin, Feedly, and Inoreader.

FreshRSS is fast and handles all variants. Inoreader also seems to handle all variants, although yesterday it seemed to be delayed, but today it came back fast.

Feedly didn't seem to respond to anything, but it might just be slow/backlogged.

Feedbin seems to be a naive parser because it only worked with the atom:link elements, not the websub:link variant.

I tried testing micro.blog but so far it still says "Posts for this user are still being downloaded." for all variants.

The Settings command is way over on the right, in the "System" menu.

Once there you can enter your name, and a description of who you are.

If you haven't been there yet, help everyone else know who you are.

I just realized you're Matthias. ;-)

Nice to see you here.

I was wondering what's up.

Thanks for trying it. There aren’t any other types yet. Let’s discuss here what we should do next.

👋

I’ve updated my rss chat server on my Raspberry Pi: John’s Pi chat. A new feature is adding a menu of commands to the menubar. I followed the instructions. Just for fun I decided to edit the example in drummer rather than locally. This lead to a mistake where I used the link button to add a link 🔗, rather than a url attribute, with the suitcase button . Anyway easy to fix. I made the outline public and used that in the config. Using Drummer for the first time in a long while reminded me of the scripts menu which, in my mind links to today a type="link" node opens its url in a new tab; other types get their behaviours later. Other types sounds interesting.

Posted from my blog: WordPress RSS Chat Update, where your reply has already been come through. This one posted form rss.chat.

Andrew I’m glad we got that going, now if there any issues Claude is ready to help.

John, were these updates from Wordpress?

Just updated wordpress-rss-chat after a couple of fixes.

I'm now using Dave's blogroll, styled for https://iheartrss.com/

Claude, we need to fix the default markdown style sheet for pagepark.

https://news.rss.chat/blogroll/readme.md

This can be quickly fixed with one of the public domain style sheets.

I'm about done for the day, so I'll hopefully start testing it with readers tomorrow. :-)

Andrew -- the blogroll is up and running, built from your OPML file: https://news.rss.chat/blogroll/ How to put it on your site: The page is three files -- index.html, code.js and styles.css -- published next to the page so you can crib them, with a readme that explains e...

You read my mind :-)

It sounds like a perfect job to set up for your Claude. ;-)

Just added rssCloud support to https://iheartrss.com/subscriptions.opml

It uses source:cloud (which FeedLand supports) so we can see if it works.

Sounds good. I'll get a feed published to handle this. Maybe one that still uses atom:link and one with websub:link so we can track that difference as well.

Andrew this gave me an idea. Let’s put together a test feed subscribe in every feed reader we can find. After a while post something and see who gets it right away.

If anyone here maintains a feed reader that supports WebSub can you please weigh in on the following thread?

Claude -- I want to try an experiment here.

The experiment

My friend Andrew Shell has put up a site that has a FeedLand-displayed blogroll on it.

We work together with Andrew to get his blogroll page up and running and looking good.

Andrew's site

Andrew's blogroll is hooked up to this OPML file.

https://iheartrss.com/subscriptions.opml

Your job is to read up on blogrolls, and set up a page on your site with a blogroll with the content from the feeds in his list. When you click a wedge it should expand to reveal the five most recent items in the feed. Use your feedland to host the list.

Once you get it working, let's get it moved to Andrew's site, and then touch up the CSS so it looks like he wants.

The source for the blogroll software is at feedland/blogroll.

A validator and a way to add menus to the RSS.chat menubar, if you're running your own instance.

Dave, I've tested a wee bit here, demo.rss.chat and the one I've running on my pi along side WordPress. Going to concentrate on the pi one for a bit so as not to clog up this space. I've two accounts on my test rss.chat. It is probably fragile;-)

Hi Andy,
I'll pop over to github and add in my 2 pence worth. I've found the same thing as you, replies to myself did not show up. I followed the same path on my own test site, and made a second account. This worked in the same way as yours.

Nice !
