• Fixed an issue that could cause slow full rebuilds with Hugo occasionally.

  • Updated the style of the header on blog-related pages like Posts, Pages, and Uploads to have a cleaner look that also takes up less space.

  • Added domain name expiration emails even if auto-renewal is disabled. We had erred on the side of fewer emails, thinking that if you had auto-renewal off you didn’t want the domain, but some people might want to disable renewal but change their mind and keep the domain.

  • Fixed video processing for some videos with uncommon resolutions and colorspaces.

  • Improved the quick search (press the / key on most web pages in Micro.blog) to better handle keyboard selection, added more locations to jump to.

  • Released Micro.blog 2.5.2 for Android, improving the reply pane and fixing related issues.

  • Added a new poster frame selection page to the web, for new video uploads. For videos uploaded starting today, you’ll see a “Change Poster” button when clicking a video on the Uploads page, with a selection of frames from the video.

  • Threads cross-posting appears disabled right now as Meta reviews our data policies. Should be working again soon when they approve us. Update: It’s back.

  • Released update for Micro.blog for Android, version 2.6.1, with a few bug fixes. This was intended for release last week, so we already have another update in the queue for Google to approve, with reply pane improvements. Should be out soon.

  • Fixed editing the email intro for a newsletter.

  • Released new Mac app with improvements for opening videos and other fixes. “Check for Updates” to download the latest, version 3.8.2.

  • Released an update for Micro.blog for iOS, improving the reply pane and other issues.

  • Fixed adding and editing standalone pages on the web. This and a couple other pages with the editor broke recently. Sorry about that!

  • Fixed editing recent replies on the web.

  • Released an update to Strata for iOS, fixing a bug with new Micro.blog users signing in via email.

  • Added support for following Bluesky users with either their .bsky.social handle or their own custom domain name. When following a custom domain name, Micro.blog will attempt to merge posts from their blog and their Bluesky account together in the timeline.

  • Improved video playback sizing in the timeline, and added width and height to the default Copy HTML tag on the web.

  • Strata for Android has also been updated to version 1.3. We’ve skipped version 1.2 to keep the version numbers in sync between mobile platforms going forward. See the full release notes here.

  • Strata for iOS has been updated with improvements to search and UI tweaks. We’ll follow up with the Android version in a few days. Android is out too after a very quick review from Google.

  • Optimized blog publishing after you post a reply, especially for blogs with thousands of posts. Micro.blog will now update your Replies page (if you have one) without running other pages through Hugo if they are not affected by new replies. Much faster in some cases.

  • Fixed issues with sorting in blogrolls. You can edit or add new blog recommendations under Design → Edit Recommendations. These recommendations will show up on your profile, and there are plug-ins to add them to your blog too.

  • Fixed an issue showing the archived text for older bookmarked web pages. As a reminder for Micro.blog Premium, we save a copy of any bookmarked web pages, including the styling and images used in the web page.

  • Fixed errors from Medium cross-posting interfering with other Micro.blog cross-posting services. The Medium API is no longer working. We are investigating and hope it’s something Medium can resolve.

  • Updated Micro.blog for iOS to version 3.6.2 with some more bug fixes.

  • Removed the 25-minute limit for auto-generated podcast transcripts. For longer audio files, Micro.blog will split the MP3 into segments so that each can be transcribed without hitting backend limits, then assembled together again. There may be a minor glitch in the text if it was split on a word.
