@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Responding could be harmful
@prologic@twtxt.net That looks nice. So that if you link the post in another app it will show the message
@prologic@twtxt.net I guess as long as jenny just links to the post.
@prologic@twtxt.net I think those are fine because its just sharing someone elses post to people who follow you. Those people who follow you might not follow the orginal person and in return might never see that post unless its retoos/retweets. The thing that is harmful is likes.
@prologic@twtxt.net Nice. Now I know about forking replies.
@prologic@twtxt.net Its a way to make another conversation in a thread of posts?
@prologic@twtxt.net I think now I know what forked threads are and figured out how to use them but i don’t really know
@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t think I have used forked threads before
@prologic@twtxt.net Those sounds really cool.
Is something like “reyarn” a thing or not a thing?
@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah I never used it before
@prologic@twtxt.net In jenny there is the option to reply to forked threads
@prologic@twtxt.net That is cool. The name is cool. Like saying “yarn ballers” but that sounds weird and cool at the same time
@prologic@twtxt.net I guess anything that is open source and is not resctricted can be forked. I would assume jenny is the same but I can wait will movq replies.
@prologic@twtxt.net nope I don’t know why its yarn
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I never seen anyone mention wrong
@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah I don’t know how I am going to know if someone wants to talk with me but I guess for now twtxt works.
@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah I am not one of these people who just have a twtxt file and end up posting a few things but not interacting with anyone. I do want to interact with the people of twtxt and yarn users. And not just twtxt users but I do care somewhat about the yarn users because really yarn is twtxt but with additions to make the experience better and a webui and the such like multi users. On top of that yarn and the twtxt clients add things like threads that are even helpful for twtxt users.
@prologic@twtxt.net I joined so its better with me lol
@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know how to code in go or anything really. Not even really know how to do html and css only basic things.
@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah this is hosted at codeberg pages. Yeah the same issue would happen with github pages.
@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know any other way to host my file at my domain unless I make a sub domain. I am going to ask codeberg if they offer access of logs.
@prologic@twtxt.net Your the one who wrote the page and did not even realise it was there. lol how nice (not a bad thing just funny)
@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah I do think Jenny adds most of the extensions.
@prologic@twtxt.net First I would have to be able to get to my logs and I don’t think i can
@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee We were talking about having links on the yarn.social page for some guide on how to setup jenny + mutt
@movq@uninformativ.de I did not mention you and instead of replying I made a new post oops.
The thing is I don’t know how to search the web logs on Codeberg or even if they are public. That is the issue with just regular text files. The thing with having the follower list in the twtxt file is that then it knows to track friends of friends like with yarn.
If not having www is an issue when I will add it in. Good to know its something I have to change
@movq@uninformativ.de Do you know how I would find people that reply to my posts or replies or even mention my users? Prologic tried to contact me and unless I found him on the yarn pod then I would not know he exists and wants to talk to me. The user agents would work but I don’t know if I can view my web server logs from codeberg pages and I don’t know how to monitor my logs for mentions. What about the way yarn does it by added people you follow to your twtxt file and having friends of friends like yarn does it be a thing for jenny. Just an idea
@prologic@twtxt.net That is why yarn is better then something like activity pub. Everything over on activity pub tries to work with Mastodon not because its better but because its the most popular. Twtxt clients on the other hand tries to work with the yarn additions because most of the additions improve things even for twtxt users.
@prologic@twtxt.net There is also a link to the blog post on the yarn.social site about how to setup jenny with mutt.
@prologic@twtxt.net I have added that to my twtxt file. Even if I can’t see the metadata the people from yarn can. Not a big deal to add the metadata and it helps yarn users
@prologic@twtxt.net I never tried out any of the other clients except jenny with mutt. The best thing about yarn vs something like Mastodon is that its more promoted of the specification of twtxt files instead of server part. Twtxt can be hosted on some free static site host or some git server even so its really low resouces. Just a basic text file. As far as I know yarn is mostly just a web ui around twtxt and an extnetion to the specification to add some more usability and modern things. Anyone can join decentrilized network by having a twtxt file somewhere. If you want to support the specification of twtxt then that is really something most projects don’t do and they promote the server software mostly.
@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah I saw my profile picture on the yarn pod. Its nice that there is also mobile apps for yarn.
I have set an avatar and a description so there is that. Yarn users should benefit from the change
@movq@uninformativ.de There might not even be any benefit to moving that to yarn.social. Besides the yarn site should promote using yarn not twtxt even though there is a little bit of information on the site.
@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t think Jenny does much of anything with the avatar and description but I do know yarn does and its not a bad thing to include the metadata for those users.
@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah I don’t even know how to use them once I added myself to the registries. The jarn search engine is similar to the registries thing but its easier to search and find things from. Also I assume its easier to use it in the yarn pods and whatever elese to get new posts. I would always like to see yarn work with regular twtxt because there is advantges to plain twtxt.
@prologic@twtxt.net I do think the post about how to setup jenny + mutt over on the uninformativ.de blog is still a great post. I used that post to see the steps to set it up and it works fine. Though I can write some blog post with some more documentation for things like auto publishing. The big issue with plain twtxt is that I would have not seen your post unless I looked on twtxt.net when I was looking at yarn a little bit more. Twtxt does overcome the issue by introducing the registry but I can’t figure out any way to use them for Jenny and almost no one uses them in the first place. So I can’t see anyones replies or mentions unless I am following them. Yarn does overcome the issue by friends of friends as you would know as the creator of yarn.
@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah I can try and do that for yarn users.
@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks
autopublishing works with jenny + mutt I think i am done configuring mostly everything now
last test i am done testing now
last test and if this does not work then I just have to run the git commands myself then
test again to see if it works
got jenny setup and threads works completly fine but now I want to figure out how to get auto publishing working
@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee Cool if I end up just running my own yarn pod but for now twtxt on my site hosted by codeberg works fine
@xuu@txt.sour.is hey
@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee yo does this work?
Right now I have to setup jenny for my timeline. Just added myself to the Registry so that part is done.
