Thank you @ChrisAldrich for giving these 2 pointers. I am excited to participate in the event; just 1 question though: how to RSVP yes? Checked and clicked a few links but couldn't seem to get it done

I’ll put your name on the list, and you can visit that page on the day for the video link to join via Zoom. No need to fuss with a “formal” RSVP unless you want to try it for fun. Incidentally your tweet which mentioned the event post has created an informal RSVP on the page already. 🙂
Most are logged into the system with their website which will give you a one-button RSVP link. However, most have actually RSVP’d on their websites and sent a webmention to that page for their avatars and details to show up on the page. (Here’s mine.) If you don’t have your webmention sender live yet, you can do it manually: https://telegraph.p3k.io/send-a-webmention.
If you want to go through the exercise and need some help, pop into the IndieWebCamp chat and we’ll help you get sorted.
Thank you @ChrisAldrich. I really appreciate it. I will be seeing you there 🙂
How about Bridg.y? Can that be used?
Syndicated copies:
Brid.gy is great, but if I’m understanding your question, I’m not sure how it could be used to display your Webmentions on your site. Anything is possible, but that functionality may be way out of its scope. It’s primarily used to do two things:
1. Send you webmention notifications from various silos like Twitter. Once you receive them, then you’d still need a way to save and display them if you wish.
2. Accept incoming notifications from your original posts as a means to cross-post your content to social media platforms

Joined the session on webmentions @ChrisAldrich. Definitely an eye opener. Will there be anymore later? I would love to know if there is a way to insert webmentions by server sites which do not support it, so that there is less dependency on them? What say?
Inserting them relies on people building tools using those services’ APIs to watch for them and send them. (This is what Brid.gy does btw if you’d like to help or see how it’s done.) Hop into the IWC online #dev chat channel for more specifics and others’ opinions/ideas.
