Bummed out by the fact that Quill wasn’t enabling me to syndicate directly to Twitter, I followed up on some good advice from Daniel Gold: Back to basics, uninstall and reinstall plugins one by one. Shades of WordPress. So I did that, and here’s what I found:With IndieSyndicate configured (via silo.pub) I can posts to Twitter just fine, but Quill still does not see that as a Syndication target and Quill cannot post to my site.In retrospect, that’s obvious, because there is no endpoint at my site.So I enabled IndiePub and now Quill posts fine, but it still does not see any Syndication target.I probably just have to live with that. At least for now.Finally, re-enabled Brid.gy and everything looks good once again. Just for the record, here, I’ve decided that for now I do not need these plugins: Static pages, Firefox, Events, Custom JS, Custom CSS, Comics, Audio, API tester. That may change in time.

Nice to see older episodes still being found and still being appreciated. Chris is right, I should do more like this. And I wonder whether there will be an uptick in the downloads.e

Still plugging away at getting this working the way I want it. Test with IndieSindicate only.

After a morning wrangling automating POSSE from my stream site, I quite understand why Colin Devroe is just turning it off. I too might abandon the effort. Maybe it doesn’t matter nearly as much for minor things like Twitter to originate everything on my own site. Everything larger than 140 characters originates with me anyway, and I can always syndicate that by hand. What’s nice is to be able to bring the reactions back here.

Testing syndication from Quill#indieweb

Set up syndication through silo.pub

OK, so only in Italian Insider, but who knows what goes undetected.

Extract disarms MRSA. But Quill bookmark fails to pull in URL, which is www.eurekalert.org/pub_relea… #antibiotics

I’m not using Reactions, so I cannot comment on that. I did, however, test quill.p3k.io to like a post, and the post’s card came through perfectly formatted (just not centred, which I can live with). See here stream.jeremycherfas.net/2017/mich…

Having switched Quill's endpoint to my new instance of WithKnown, I thought it only right and proper that my first post there be my first post from Quill.<p> #indieweb</p>

@matigo Make it so.

I'd say that this would make the whole idea of #indieweb a lot more tenable to a bunch of people in what the gurus call [generations 3 and 4](https://indieweb.org/generations). Maybe even 2, which is where I see myself.

All that stuff and nonsense about having a local development environment and then pushing that out to a production site *via* whatever sync method you can manage to work at any given moment would disappear in a puff of smoke. I'd happily pay for one of those coffee-cup sized servers.

*p.s.* I'm posting this first to my own owned-content, in those that it may encourage you to hook up, although I know you have lots of other things on your mind.

A giant leap ... My own installation of #withknown in a sub-domain on my main site. Getting more serious about the #indieweb, but lots more still to do.
