Added webmentions but I'm receiving none

Open dgaite opened this issue 4 years ago • 7 comments

I signed up with the indieAuth process, and added my twitter to brid.gy and it's not getting webmentions on my api page. I'm tweeting and they're showing up on bridgy and I also inserted the pingback and webmention link tags on my page. What's the issue?

(Edit: Looks like I have some bad code in there!)

I tried a similar thing. I believe I have the right code installed on my site:


	<link rel="webmention" href="https://webmention.io/svekyll.com/webmention">
	<link rel="pingback" href="https://webmention.io/svekyll.com/xmlrpc"></div>

I logged in and authenticated with email. I'm unsure how to check if things are fully setup or not.

Is webmention.io broken right now? Is self-hosting a better idea right now?

@xrd whats your website? I'm curious how you ended up with "undefined" in the url of the webmention endpoint

@aaronpk Yes, I fixed this so it now displays <link rel="webmention" href="https://webmention.io/svekyll.com/webmention">.

So, I think I have the correct link in the page.

You can see it here at the bottom of the page in the source:

https://svekyll.com/Webmentions/

I made a tweet about it, was assuming that this would get a pingback (but I'm still trying to figure out if my mental model fits how this all works).

Thank you for the response!

In order to get responses from Twitter you'll also need to set up Bridgy, have you done that yet? https://brid.gy/

I had not. I just did. Is there a readme for brid.gy? I'm unsure if I have configured things correctly for my site (svekyll.com) or if I need to add it to the list of URLs in my twitter bio? Should I automatically get that tweet syndicated?

There's lots of info on the "help" page here https://brid.gy/about and also some more info on the indieweb wiki: https://indieweb.org/Bridgy

It should walk you through what you need to do to get it set up once you've connected your Twitter account.

Great. I'll read some more, thank you.

We think https://github.com/aaronpk/XRay/pull/120 may have fixed this. Feel free to retry!
