Eriq Hi! I found Known through the Indieweb website, and want to try it out. It said on the known site that a free account could be a good start. When I try to register is says "Known for Education". Does this mean I have to be affiliated to a University or similar to be able to try it out?

jeremycherfas Hi Eriq
# jeremycherfas I’m not sure, but I think that the hosted free version of Known is no longer available. You have to host it yourself. It is quite easy to do. I have my instance hosted on Dreamhost, and it wasn’t difficult.

[chrisaldrich] Eriq, I think that jeremycherfas is right and that the free hosted version is no longer offered.
# [chrisaldrich] If you don't want to self-host, I do believe that Known does still offer a paid hosted version though if you fill out their form.
# [chrisaldrich] I also think that places like Reclaim hosting offer one-click installs if you don't want to get your hands dirty too.
# jeremycherfas Search on wiki finds no results for Known, but search for withknown goes to http://indieweb.org/withknown which is Redirected from Withknown.

Zegnat [chrisaldrich] last I checked Known has 2 easy guides for setting it up for selfhosting https://withknown.com/guides/ (one on Arvixe, one on Reclaim) but they only host for “groups” and education. For non-education you have to contact them separately through https://withknown.com/contact/ (no standard form)

# [chrisaldrich] I've fired off an email to Erin Jo et al. to see how they'd like to best handle these cases and to see how we can direct individuals.
# Eriq Thanks for the reply, @jeremycherfas! I will look into that option. I currently have my site at a swedish host, perhaps it's possible to have Known there as well.
# [chrisaldrich] jeremycherfas did DreamHost have a one-click set up option? Or did you do it all manually?
# Eriq Thank you for that, @chrisaldrich!
# [chrisaldrich] No problem Eriq, it's a common enough question and we should all have some better/simpler options.
# jeremycherfas I did it manually, but thew fact that I managed it, on a sub-domain of an existing domain, means it really is easy.
# jeremycherfas !tell eriq You’re welcome
# [chrisaldrich] jeremycherfas I think you should give yourself more credit as a developer than you do. ?
# jeremycherfas Total imposter syndrome.

@closetgeekshow noticed that @withknown wasn't seeing my twitter interactions. you need to add your withknown url to the your profile (if it's not your url) (twitter.com/_/status/887713049569898496)
# @closetgeekshow @withknown hrm. it's still not noticing likes, getting the "no webmention targets" message. (twitter.com/_/status/887715889222692864)
