Indieweb etiquette question: when reposting or liking a link is it polite-er to link directly to the content or is it better to link through your domain so the like-action itself has a URL?
@eli If you're sending the like as a webmention haven't you go both? The like itself directly links to the target (u-like-of) and the action is your own post. Or am I misunderstanding what you mean?
@colinwalker the issue may very well be that I don't really understand the architecture of webmentions. Thinking more about it, I am asking specifically about linking to targets that aren't "on the indieweb," e.g. news sources.
@eli Right, with you. Well, if it's a non-indieweb property then a webmention is pointless so always best to link directly.
@colinwalker that is an excellent point! I think you've answered it for me. Right now I have two ways of linking to content: one passes directly through, the other supports webmentions. Moving forward I'll use the passthrough for anything that is not indieweb-ified, and I'll use the webmention enabled option for folks who seem indieweb-ready. Awesome! Thanks
@colinwalker now I just have to figure out how to get an entire thread's worth of comments to appear on my website 😜 ...but should probably get some worky-work done first.
@eli Can't help you on either count there 😉 If you find a solution to the first then I'd be very interested.
@colinwalker I am thinking that having a discrete area specifically for replies might be the ticket, inspired Emma Kuo's neonblog
