It can be so hard to debug IndieWeb problems when they arise in Known. For now, this should be a , because Chris Aldrich reported a problem. But even if this works, I may need to go outside this installation to test properly. Or, perhaps, try webmention.rocks.
@raymondcamden Are you actually displaying the webmentions anywhere? I looked at your site and couldn't see any, so it is hard to know how to proceed. You might get more help at https://chat.indieweb.org/dev/2021-02-13#bottom
@OwenAdamsYT1 If you are talking about the list at https://indieweb.org/site-deaths, it does specifically refer to "content hosting sites" not the individual sites I think you are lamenting. No-one could keep track of all of those, although there is archive.org in a pinch.

Here's hoping this sensible person soon becomes active in IndieWeb things.
One step closer to PESOS from Instagram
1 min read
I had been barking up the wrong tree, trying to address `photo/edit` in order to create a photo post in WithKnown. Going through my old notes, I figured out how to do it through `micropub/endpoint` instead, which makes a whole lot more sense. Probably I should have started there.
Anyway, I know have the bare bones of being able to post automatically to WithKnown from the RSS feed of my Instagram account. Now I "just" need to build out all the rest; read the RSS feed, extract the relevant bits of data, construct the API request and bung it off.
Which will probably take forever, but hey.
PESOS from Instagram?

At last night's online HWC we talked a bit about getting pictures in and out of Instagram, now that they have become so much stricter about the API. Getting images into Instagram except through approved apps seems to be getting harder and harder, and is probably impossible by now. Getting images out of Instagram is also not obviously easy. But ...
A new (to me) thing, called Bibliogram, can, under the right conditions, create an RSS or Atom feed from one's profile. I poked around, and the feed contains a link to the image, caption and date and time. The link to the image works. So maybe ...
I could send the feed to IFTTT or Zapier or similar, and have that create a post via Micropub to my instance of WithKnown. Or even, if I ever get it working, to my main site, which uses Grav.
But I can't even try for a couple of days.
Did MySpace Kill the Potential for Customization on Social Media?
Sure, the defaults are elegant, but they are constant reminders that you’re ultimately building castles in someone else’s sandbox, which is sad and unfortunate when you’re trying to build the coolest castle you can.
This is about far more than merely being able to customize the look of your site, although that is clearly important too.
