Started trying out Known (http://withknown.com) as a microblog+  (supports longer-form content, photos, etc) POSSE service (syndicates to Twitter if you want), running at http://coffeecode.ca.

Microformats and WebMentions. This thing could work!

The code is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and the maintainers have been very receptive to my initial patches.

@jrobb@io.jrobb.org I haven't really had a chance to try out WebMentions yet, which appears to be its loosely-coupled form of federation. Given that I can't figure out how to reply to you here on identi.ca without agreeing to let your instance post updates on my behalf/modify my profile/see my list of followers, I'm not sure pump.io's form of federation is all that fantastic.

Also: I wasn't notified via email about your comment, so just happened to notice it running through my stream, and still can't use Firefox on Android to add comments. grumble grumble

Dan, giving permissions to other servers is not something related to the Pump.io federation, is only a detail of how the web interface works.


Using a client like Pumpa or Dianara you can follow anyone without ever giving those permissions.


I seriously recommend you check out the clients =)

That is incorrect. To deliver events that interest you, they need to write to your inbox.

Without ever noticing that you are giving them those permissions.

@dbs how's withknown working out for you 3 months in? I see lots of posts on your site, but can't tell for sure if that's only because you are mirroring twitter there (including not being sure if mirroring twitter is actually what you are doing) or because you're actively using and loving withknown. Thanks!
