• Strata for Android has been updated to version 1.0.2, improving the encryption between platforms.

  • Fixed the .bar format export when using some themes and plug-ins.

  • Improved some photos in the timeline to not be unnecessarily resized again, also improving caching performance via the CDN.

  • Sorry for the brief platform downtime. Our load balancer got super confused for unknown reasons. Did not affect your hosted blogs.

  • Fixed some compatibility issues with video uploads from newer iPhones.

  • We are phasing out the old, mostly-hidden feature of tracking MP3 downloads. There are better ways to track podcasts for those who want that, including the new OP3 plug-in. If anyone was still using this, feel free to reach out to support with questions.

  • Fixed your blog’s sitemap.xml to only include posts and standalone pages. Most importantly, this resolves an issue where shared notes could be exposed to search engines. I’m very sorry for the security lapse. You can customize this by editing Hugo’s sitemap.xml template.

  • Fixed the background color of the profile menu in Micro.blog on mobile devices and small screens.

  • Added new zoom for photos on the web! Most photos in the timeline can now be clicked to show full-screen. Escape key or click anywhere to close the photo.

  • There’s a lot of extra activity today, leading to some delays with sending posts to the fediverse. If you don’t see a post or reply show up right away on other platforms like Mastodon, please be a little extra patient. It should get back to being fast soon.

  • Fixed some issues with auto-linking URLs interfering with Markdown images, reference-style links, and img tags.

  • Added a preview of the prorated subscription price when upgrading on the Plans page. Consider upgrading today! 🙂

  • Fixed counting some emoji in new web editor.

  • Added new Preview button for themes in the plug-in directory. This will create a special preview version of your blog to try out the theme. Also improved the tab bar and navigation around plug-ins.

  • Fixed categories and cross-posting services checkboxes in dark mode.

  • Added showing cross-posting services checkboxes when editing a post.

  • Fixed the crashing but on Android when starting a new post. Update to version 2.2.1 on Google Play.

  • Added Threads cross-posting for everyone. Check out the details in Manton’s announcement blog post.

  • Fixed profile menu background color in Safari on iOS 18 so that it’s more readable. Apple changed something and the blur was no longer working.

  • Updated the Android version of Micro.blog with a bunch of improvements and fixes. You can grab version 2.2 on Google Play.

  • Micro.blog for iOS has been updated to version 3.3 with a bunch of improvements. Check out the full release notes here.

  • Fixed a new issue where the publishing status would be stuck after saving a draft blog post.

  • Improved web sidebar to not scroll with the content.

  • We’ve added an extra step to confirming someone’s email address when they sign up for your email newsletter. It’s still a very easy sign-up, no captcha nonsense, but the extra prompt helps us make it harder for bots to interfere.

  • Strata for iOS has been updated to version 1.1, adding support for scanning the QR code for Micro.blog notes on the web or macOS. This helps get the secret key set across platforms.
