Micro.blog News

  • There were some slow responses and potential errors for a short time today. Very sorry about that. Micro.blog should be fast again.

  • Fixed compatibility with some ActivityPub servers including Friendica.

  • Fixed deleting and renaming uploads on the web to properly update URLs for other sizes of photos.

  • Fixed an issue with HEIC photo uploads not getting processed correctly or ending up the wrong size, for about an hour today. Most photos are sent as JPEGs, so I don’t think this affected anyone. If anything looks wrong with your photos, please let us know.

  • Fixed link-style posts wrapping oddly in the timeline before the linked domain name.

  • If you tried the new “Archive with months” plug-in, we continue to tweak it, including a fix today for blog post summaries that include markup.

  • Fixed an issue muting some words and phrases, such as Mastodon hashtags. You can manage your muted users and keywords under Account → Edit Muted and Blocked Users.

  • Fixed an issue loading .mov video uploads for our European-based servers and CDN.

  • Added a new plug-in called “Archive with months” that reorganizes your blog’s default Archive page by month. You can preview what this looks like on Manton’s own archive page.

  • Fixed Bluesky replies to not prepend your Micro.blog username unless the reply was directly to one of your posts.

  • Added a new array .Site.Params.years available in Hugo templates. This is just a list of all the years from your first blog post to the current year. Useful if you need to get this quickly for navigation and menus.

  • Fixed a new issue with uploads to our European servers not being served correctly. All the uploads that weren’t loading should be fixed now.

  • Updated the Mac app with a couple improvements for copying HTML for photos and an Edit menu → Copy Link shortcut for copying blog post links.

  • Fixed a performance issue for the European-based blog hosting. One of our servers was temporarily down. (Your websites remained up, though!)

  • Fixed automatically generating the accessibility description on the new post page. This accidentally stopped working a few days ago. Upload a photo and tap the thumbnail if you have AI enabled.

  • Fixed a new problem where updating older posts from iOS or Android would change the published date to the current date. If this affected you, you can edit any post on the web to fix its date.

  • Added photo toolbar button to blog post editing on the web. See Manton’s blog post with a screenshot and full details.

  • Updated the README for the Recommendations blogroll shortcode plug-in to document the different parameters you can use for showing a blogroll.

  • Fixed an issue where the automatic keywords for a blog post (which can be used when setting up a category filter) were not saved.

  • Fixed some replies from Mastodon not appearing in the Mentions section of Micro.blog. They were still on the conversation and timeline, but you might have missed them since they were missing from Mentions. I’m very sorry about this bug!

  • Micro.blog for Android has been updated in Google Play. Some of the changes:

    • Changed photo options screen to automatically fill in auto-generated accessibility description if not set.
    • Improved handling photo upload progress including canceling.

    Plus several bug fixes and other improvements.

  • Fixed video uploads not always getting saved correctly, so that sometimes only the poster frame image would remain after an upload. Should work more reliably across platforms, with videos up to 75 MB.

  • Fixed bookmarks and highlights search, for Micro.blog Premium subscribers.

  • Updated Micro.blog for macOS to version 3.5.7, fixing several bugs.

  • Fixed another new issue where replies from some Mastodon users were not correctly added to Micro.blog, particularly from new Mastodon users.
