@prologic@twtxt.net: Reduced refresh interval to 7200 seconds :-)
@win0err@kolesnikov.se Maybe you can help us with that part of the spec? 🤔 It was added to honestly squelch really only one grumpy Twtxt user at the time, so we did it 😅 But really a well behaving client will periodically fetch a feed but respect HTTP headers like Last-Modified and so the hit on a web server is minimal at best. – And as you just found, many clients don’t yet actually even respect this field, only really yarnd does (I believe). – And if you set it too big well then maybe nobody sees your post for a while 😅
I would offer documentation on our use of the WebSub protocol, however this is not possible to implement for feed authors in all cases, especially on multi-user hostrs like many of the tilde(s) I think… – Is this something we should document as an optional client feature? (I feel most feed authors probably wouldn’t care all that much)
@win0err@kolesnikov.se If you’re referring to the original twtxt, then yes, it left a lot of things out and quite a bit of it is ambitious 😢 – It might be worthwhile one day either:
- rewriting the spec (which @mckinley@twtxt.net has done a nice job of, but I still want to host that at https://dev.twtxt.net in Markdown 😅)
- start writing “client recommendations” (like what we did with extensions)
