So much for not saying too much about Star Wars: The Last Jedi. At 1400 words it's the longest thing I've written in ages!
@colinwalker Good post and I agree with a bunch of points... Won't say more for now to avoid spoilers. Might write something longer after a second viewing.
@colinwalker good post. Is this a native Micro.blog site and that is how you get replies to show up on your site?
@colinwalker I like the general approach you took in not trying to talk about the entire movie but instead some key points. Definitely in large agreement with your post.
@apulianas No, it’s WordPress. I’m using IndieWeb webmentions to bring the replies in - micro.blog supports them natively.
@apulianas If you’re on WordPress you need to install the plugin to receive them (they’re treated like comments) but may need to do some tweaking to your theme.
@apulianas this is a great starting point, and the indieweb community maintains a great wiki of info and other resources to get up and rolling. The IRC channels are also always hopping.
@colinwalker just installed the plug in. I guess now I need to wait for someone to reply to a post to see if it works. I'm guessing old replies won't automatically populate.
@apulianas Looking at your site, do you display comments at all? It doesn’t look like you have a comment section enabled on posts. Webmentions won’t display unless you’re showing comments (you don’t need to be accepting them natively just displaying.)
@colinwalker I didn't know that is an option. I only knew about having them on for individual posts.
@colinwalker is that where the "Set a page for mentions of the homepage to be sent to:" comes into play? It currently has no homepage mentions selected.
@apulianas No, that’s to redirect Webmentions sent to your home page to a specific “mentions” page that you would create and allow comments on.
@apulianas If you have comments enabled on a post replies via Webmention are treated just like comments. There are different types of mention, though: straight mentions like pingbacks, replies, likes so theme tweaks may be needed to display them nicely.
@apulianas As @eli says, the IRC channels are always good resources (you can use Slack if you prefer) and everyone is always very helpful.
@manton Not sure if it was m.b or WP at my end but I had a whole bunch of mentions hit at the same time (20:06) and out of order. Some kind of a glitch because they were too close maybe?
@colinwalker That's my fault. There was a queue of delayed Webmentions... They shouldn't have been sent out of order, but hitting at once I can see how they might've been.
@manton Ah, thanks. I think they just got mixed up seeing as they all came through together. Just wanted to make sure. It's no biggy, I can go back and edit the time stamps at my end.
