Micro.blog News

  • New release of the Micro.blog app, version 3.4.5, adding an “Upload” toolbar button and “New Post” when selecting an existing upload, plus bug fixes and other improvements. “Check for Updates” to grab the latest version and see what’s new.

  • Fixed an issue that prevented sign in, registration, and some other features from working. No longer depending on an external JavaScript server that was down today.

  • Updated the blog settings to now warn when changing to EU servers if your domain name is not pointed to the right place yet.

  • We’ve released Strata 1.2.1 for iOS. Fixes refreshing notes and some other tweaks. You can find the release notes and download link on this help page.

  • Fixed an expired HTTPS certificate for the username.micro.blog hostnames. Sorry about that!

  • Add a new “New Book” option in the bookshelves “…” context menu, with improved support for looking up a book on Goodreads by ID when it can’t be found anywhere else. Searching for a book by title or ISBN is still preferred. Also added the Bookshelves sidebar item for Micro.one subscribers.

  • We’re testing a new version of Strata with some bug fixes. If you’d like to follow along on iOS, you can join the TestFlight beta.

  • Fixed an issue with some styling from external blogs interfering with the layout in the Micro.blog timeline.

  • We’ve built on our initial support for servers in Europe to also have full photo and uploads hosting in the EU. Manton has a blog post with more details.

  • Changed profile photo URL for blogs to move away from micro.blog platform URLs, to remove dependency on main platform.
    Updated logging for EU servers and fixed related issues clearing old domains.

  • Started blocking all .php requests to minimize load on our servers when “hackers” try to exploit WordPress-related problems. We don’t expect this will cause any problems, but reach out if you had an older WordPress blog that was migrated to Micro.blog and notice any issues with old redirects. (Most WordPress blogs no longer include .php in the post URLs.)

  • 1… 2… 3.4.5! Micro.blog version 3.4.5 for iOS is now available with a few bug fixes.

  • Disabled the new European server checkbox if your blog doesn’t have a custom domain name. We can only direct traffic to the new servers for your own domain name, not the username.micro.blog subdomains.

  • Improved podcast transcription to allow up to 25 minutes of audio.

  • Fixed the new eu.micro.blog subdomain. For details on DNS changes for Europe-based servers, see this help page.

  • Added new checkbox on Design page to publish your blog to servers located in Europe. See Manton’s blog post for details.

  • Fixed not including photos in Bluesky cross-posts when set to add link previews.

  • Added domain name aliases for Micro.blog Premium to more easily support multiple domain names redirecting to a single blog. See Manton’s blog post for details and screenshot.

  • Fixed editing of blog post titles on the web that contain quotation marks.

  • Fixed accidentally getting Bluesky reposts as if they were replies to you, when the “get Bluesky replies” cross-posting option is enabled.

  • New release of Micro.blog for iOS! Adds a summary field for new or edited blog posts, and a way to add a category while composing a post, both on the post options screen. Also bug fixes including making the back button easier to hit again.

  • Improved speed of generating summaries with AI and archiving pages.

  • Fixed error message attaching videos on the standard Micro.blog subscription. Video and podcast hosting is available in all paid plans.

  • Added new “Include link card preview on Bluesky” checkbox on the Sources page for Bluesky.

  • Added bookmark tagging for all paid subscriptions, not just Micro.blog Premium. Fixed not consistently hiding and showing summaries on bookmarks page (under “…” menu).
