As discussed at https://indieweb.org/2021/Pop-ups/Microsub, this would be a shift from the paradigm of following feeds to following people.

  • Search parameter should be explained that it does not need to be a feed URL. It could be a name looked up in a contact list, for example, or any other discovery methodology.
  • We could instead focus on entering h-card url the endpoint could figure out how to derive feeds from h-card in order to emphasize the following of people.
  • The endpoint could be more opinionated and return the feed it thinks best represents the identity, as opposed to all possibly found feeds. There may need to be separate discussion outside the spec re how to best find this feed.

This also has implications on the client side, where currently, most clients are letting users choose from multiple options.

Spec should recommend clients display the author property of the feed over the URL.
