👋 Hello @anx@twtxt.net, welcome to twtxt.net, a Yarn.social Pod! To get started you may want to check out the pod’s Discover feed to find users to follow and interact with. To follow new users, use the ⨁ Follow button on their profile page or use the Follow form and enter a Twtxt URL. You may also find other feeds of interest via Feeds. Welcome! 🤗
@support@twtxt.net Hi! I’m hosting my own twtxt.txt, can I customise my URL to that one?
@anx@twtxt.net Not exactly. What are you trying to do exactly? yarnd (the software behind Yarn.social) are essentially multi-user (or single-user) pods (as we wll them) that use twtxt.txt under teh hood.
If you already host your own twtxt.txt (we call a feed) I’m not sure why you need an account on my pod? 😅 (unless you want to of course!)
Also welcome to Yarn.social 🤗
@prologic@twtxt.net I apologise, I’m new to this, probably mixing the concepts by now… I see some users that when I click on their Twtxt link it takes me to their self-hosted twtxt.txt.
@anx@twtxt.net Irs okay 🤗 I’m a bit confused too 🤦♂️
@anx@twtxt.net I guess one thing to keep in mind is we’re building out support for “sync” a local feed twtxt.txt on disk somewhere with a feed you may have on a pod, like the one you have here. If that makes sense? Would that be of interest to you?
@anx@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net O-o, you are? That would be great, really. I have been pondering about replacing my locally hosted feed by this one by cron’ing a wget or something like that…
@marado@twtxt.net Yes! It’s a planned feature, we’ll likely get it done in yarn v0.15 (next milestone). cc @tkanos@twtxt.net who I think was working on this very feature 🤗
@tkanos@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Awesome, looking forward to use it!
@mckinley@twtxt.net Thank you! You even better described what I wanted to achieve :D
@anx@twtxt.net we can always follow both of your personas! It’s quite a common thing around here 😆
@prologic@twtxt.net From a little that I understand about this, wouldn’t that make people discovering duplicated posts? One coming from original local and another entry synced to a local feed in twtxt.net.
@anx@twtxt.net Not according to the #url part of the Metadata spec. We consider the first # url = to be the URI used to form the Twt Hash. So if this is the same in both feeds (for example) with identical content and timestamps, they should hash the same.
What we don’t do however is trust the url field at all.
@anx@twtxt.anxsnest.eu We’re very happy to hear that and we’re here to help you any time! 🤗
@prologic@twtxt.net Twtxting from terminal is addictive :D
@anx@twtxt.anxsnest.eu Heh 😆
