@matpacker i am not - but I gave it a whirl a while back - you need to tie it to an app token in Micro Blog .
@matpacker You mention, I appear! 💨 am I a Genie? Haha! So Indigenous uses IndieAuth for its authentication. This page explains the different blog platforms that support IndieAuth. If you’re using a Micro.blog-hosted blog, then IndieAuth support is already built in. Just enter your blog’s url (not your profile url) on the login form (https://indigenous.abode.pub/ios/help/)
@matpacker Also, important to note, Indigenous supports microblog, blog and photo posts but does not support replies on Micro.blog yet. (Planned future feature)
@matpacker Hmm yeah that’s tricky. Okay, so the email you get has two “buttons”: Sign in to Micro.blog and Open in Micro.blog for iOS. The top one should log you in via the web browser and the second should log you in the M.b iOS app. So you would want to select the top button to login via Safari. Then if you go back to Indigenous, cancel the login and enter your url again, it should allow you to approve Indigenous rather than enter your email. (cc/ @manton for visibility on potential IndieAuth workflow pitfalls)
@EddieHinkle @matpacker IndieAuth works best if you are already signed in to your default web browser. So I'd suggest signing in to M.b first (via email), then going to Indigenous. It should be able to open Micro.blog in your browser to confirm and then redirect back.
@manton That’s a good suggestion. I’ll add that to my Micro.blog IndieAuth help page: “first log in to Micro.blog in Safari, then open Indigenous”. Thanks!
@matpacker Ahh gotcha. Glad we got that all worked out. Thankfully I don’t think that’s a common problem, which is probably why we haven’t heard about that issue before now. I think most people use the default (Safari)
@matpacker likely the best call - always good to work with people who know what they are doing ...
