Random Observations from the Fediverse No.1:

…There are a lot (and I cannot stress this enough,) a lot of really small fediverse instances and they are showing off all the numerous Top Level Domain Names that are out there that I could never think of that many uses for.

…Theres instances that end in .rodeo, .boo, .fail, .hair, .ninja

And my favorite: .ooo as in 🫢

So I’m using abc as a hostname because of course the TLD is .xyz so of course, but also I want to make this the “sidecar” to the main show that goes on over at starrwulfe.xyz. With that in mind, should I be making categories for “kinds” that you see in some other blogs?

  • namely the Reads, Watches and Listens activities for stuff I’m doing… I think I need to rework how that was done over there and make it more succinct.

  • Then there’s the notes sections. Which acts like a catch-all for random short posts with no title… Conversations into the either.

  • Also the Like, Bookmarks, and Replies sections that’s especially part of the efforts of POSSEing up all the comments and content from around the internet back here.

Also bear in mind the communications features are in both places for first-party integration into the Fediverse; the main one at @starrwulfe@starruwulfe.xyz and running ActivityPub for Wordpress and this one here @starrwulfe@abc.starruwulfe.xyz on micro.blog. So I’ve got double vision.

Should I bottle all that up and bring it over here while leaving the “main blog” to host articles, long form content and the like? (Certainly, I need to give it a better coat of paint in the form of themeing; I never got around to actually doing that part as I want to work on the plumbing first…

…Dammit, I don’t even have my categories set for where this post is going to wind up! 🤦🏾‍♂️

Oh this is nice– and answers a question I had about how to go about doing “Easter Egg Articles” that would only get out to the subscribers without needing to collect and house email addresses and other personal info.

also s/o to @pfefferle@mastodon.social for the info!

Well webfinger to certain threads.net accounts does indeed work.

Good nite #fediverse and #indieweb peeps, see ya in the morning! 😴

The best brisket I’ve probably ever made in a Crock Pot was had. #fatnessfirst

👷🏾‍♂️ #testing again, sorry! 🚧 OK, lets see if the fediverse is ready for this….
