Micro.blog

If only I had a blog to remember what I blogged. Oh, right. I do.

This is another shout-out (of many) to Micro.blog, a “unique platform that combines blog hosting with a social media-style timeline and community.” As I wrote previously, I have been working on my workflow for cross posting to different sites.

Since this is a “micro post”, I’ll for now just express my most genuine thanks to Micro.blog (specifically Manton Reece), for providing the help with the last piece of my puzzle – to cross post to all my desirable social media accounts. I’m not talking about Xitter or Facebook, or even Instagram or TikTok, but the social media that has a Fediverse hook.

Again a post with more details about the WORKFLOW is brewing, and I couldn’t be more excited about the progress that is being made in the POSSE-verse.

I’m about to hit Publish and send this post EVERYWHERE…

…For now you can read Micro.blog’s values statement below:

We believe the web is the great social network and that open standards make the web a better place. We believe in IndieWeb and fediverse standards so that you own your data and different apps can work together. We support and encourage our customers to use their own domain names for their blogs. We also encourage third-party developers who want to create apps that work with Micro.blog, and make APIs available for them to use at no charge.

I have a new mastodon account – sort of

The microblogging service that I use, micro.blog, has enabled Mastodon compatible usernames. What does this mean? Well I don’t know completely. As I’ve demonstrated before, I haven’t completely figured out ActivityPub, or IndieWeb, or Federated Fediverse – but I’m trying 😀

Anyway, my username for Micro.blog is @andyrush@micro.blog

Mastodon and ActivityPub – Developers – Micro.blog Help Center:

We’ve enabled a Mastodon-compatible username for your Micro.blog account. This means that you can follow anyone on Mastodon from within Micro.blog, and anyone on Mastodon can follow your blog.

It Mostly Worked

So the cross-posting extravaganza mostly worked. A bare link on Twitter but not sure why it didn’t post the title. No active links in the Mastodon post, but all the text came through. It worked the same way on the micro.blog/andyrush site, again with no active links.

This site, called MicroThoughts, is usually where I post from. Most of the time a micro blog post is composed in a program called MarsEdit, which I’ve mentioned before.

Cross-Posting Extravaganza

I’m testing micro.blog in the iOS app to see where this post goes automatically.

I “microblog” at microblog.andyrush.net (a WordPress blog) which automatically posts to micro.blog/andyrush

It should also send a Tweet … and if everything works … it will post to Mastodon.

About

This is my microblog. It is where I may write something that’s longer than a tweet (280 characters) but shorter than a long-form blog post. Posts here are automatically sent to micro.blog/andyrush and are posted to Mastodon. I blog at AndHeBlogs, but I felt like I needed this space for sharing quick posts as well. Thanks for listening.
