Dear #IndieWeb people

When using h-entry (or, honestly, #RSS even), is there anything people have been coalescing towards that’s kind of a push that says “hey have another look?”

For example, imagine the concept of an RSS reader but you don’t want the reader to have to poll.

I only know of #webmentions and #micropub here but idk if either of those is appropriate for this use case?

UPDATE: I have been informed about WebSub, which is exactly what I was looking for

@zkat TBH, I think ActivityPub has pretty much taken over this space?

But, also, you might be looking for WebSub? https://indieweb.org/WebSub

@lmorchard AP is also an enormous amount of implementation overhead for something that is trying to be very very simple and web-centered

@lmorchard I kept thinking “yeah well don’t AP mailboxes already do this” and then I realized this meant that there would be an expectation that all the REST of AP would be implemented and somehow compatible with an ecosystem there’s no need to have direct compat with

@zkat Yeah, I think websub is a lot simpler and mostly content-agnostic
