aboxsots Does anyone know why receiving a like from a WP post shared to Bluesky (domain-authenticated) would appear as a comment on the WP post itself? Would that be Post Kinds or Webmentions, and is there a micro setting to disable that from happening? TIA.

aboxsots In other words, the post is shared on Bluesky, gets a like on Bluesky, and a notification for "getting a like" appears as a new comment on the WP post. Not sure if that was clear in the previous comment.

GWG Did you set up Bridgy?
# 00:43 
GWG It converts Bluesky responses to webmentions, picked up by the webmention plugin

aboxsots I do have bridging on Bridgy enabled. The only Webmention  post type support I have checked in the IndieWeb plugin is "Posts." "Likes" has been unchecked while I get the notifications. Is there another way to prevent them from appearing as comments other than unchecking "Posts"?
# 03:13 
GWG You have a likes post type?
# 03:14 
aboxsots Under the Webmention settings>Receiver>"support for post types" there's a checkbox for "Likes" amongst others
# 03:14 
aboxsots I'm not sure if that'd be the setting which would cause it to appear as a comment from a like on Bsky, though
# 03:15 
GWG It is not coming from the webmentions plugin, something else registered a like type
# 03:17 
aboxsots Ok, is there somewhere else I could look within the IndieWeb suite? Or is it not related to IW at all?
# 03:18 
GWG It isn't any of the plugins I contribute to or have installed
# 03:18 
GWG Do you use Friends?
# 03:18 
aboxsots I haven't heard of it, no
# 03:18 
GWG Not sure then
# 03:18 
GWG But if you want what was discussed
# 03:18 
GWG https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-webmention/issues/343
# 03:19 
GWG We never added that feature
# 03:22 
aboxsots Gotcha. Is there a possibility of there being a bug with this specific scenario?
# 03:23 
GWG There is no bug, it is working as intended. 
# 03:23 
GWG We never wrote a feature to filter by type
# 03:23 
GWG The issue I linked is the feature request for that
# 03:23 
GWG It could happen
# 03:25 
GWG There is a manual option you could add in a theme or such
# 03:26 
aboxsots Ok, I see that snippet at the bottom, I'll try that as a stopgap.
# 03:29 
aboxsots Not a super huge deal right now with only one here and there but could see it getting a little overwhelming with the possibility of many mentions in the future.
# 03:30 
GWG I need to get back to writing enhancements
# 03:31 
GWG Too much to do, so little time
# 03:33 
aboxsots no worries! Que será, será
# 03:34 
GWG I intend to get to more stuff, just so much
