• Final round of blog post summary improvements:

    • Added summaries to posts via ActivityPub.
    • Updated default Sumo theme to latest version which adds support for post summaries and reverts to default email newsletter template.
    • Updated /feeds/username.json timeline feeds to include summary if available.
  • Added blog post summaries to cross-posting for Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, and LinkedIn. When your full-length blog posts with a title have a summary, the summary text will be added on a new line after the title and link.

  • A few recent fixes:

    • Fixed cross-posting options not showing up everywhere for mixed-case hostnames.
    • Fixed some blogs incorrectly showing expired before the subscription ends.
    • Fixed migrating followers away from Micro.blog.
  • Added “Show Summary” option (in the “…” menu) when creating a new post on the web. Also added support for the special more comment tags in Hugo to also set summaries in Micro.blog.

  • Updated the Posts page on the web to show fewer posts per page. Makes it faster for the common task of going back to edit a very recent post.

  • Fixed some potential JSON Feed encoding problems with the new blog post summaries. This could have caused errors in the timeline or cross-posting.

  • Added new summary field when editing posts. See the help page for an overview of this feature. Still to come: support in brand new posts (not editing posts) and the mobile apps. Thanks!

  • Fixed errors introduced this morning when viewing a conversation in the mobile app or Mac app.

  • Fixed pulling in some Mastodon replies and showing them on your blog.
    Fixed errors with posting when using the micro.one domain name.

  • Added a new screen to manage muting and blocks in Micro.blog for iOS. Update to version 3.4.2 on the App Store. Full release notes are in the help center here.

  • Added new settings to Account → View Fediverse Details to control whether blog posts are sent to the fediverse, and muting.

  • Apologies for a few intermittent errors in the last couple minutes. Everything is fixed now.

  • Strata for Android has been updated to version 1.1, adding new tabs for Bookmarks and Highlights.

  • Improved video upload quality and compatibility with web browsers.

  • Micro.blog for iOS has been updated:

    • Fixed scrolling photo collections list with many collections.
    • Fixed text editing cursor jumping to end when deleting text in the middle of a blog post.
    • Fixed text view height getting obscured by keyboard on iPad.
    • Updated photo grid to show four columns on iPad.
  • Added an underline highlight when using the new keyboard shortcuts “1” through “7” for the web sidebar. Also added “0” for Notes if your account has that enabled.

    Added a “New Post…” menu option for uploads, to start a new blog post from a photo that was already uploaded.

  • Fixed Twitter / X import problems for very large .zip archives.

  • Added more keyboard shortcuts on the web: “n” starts a new blog post, “1” through “7” keys jump to Timeline, Mentions, Bookmarks, etc.

  • Added importing Pika blog archive files. Micro.blog can process .zip files that contain the HTML files and photos from Pika. For now just supports blog posts, not standalone pages.

  • Fixed an issue with sometimes only including recent posts on your blog instead of all posts. We are in the middle of making blog publishing faster and will roll out more improvements this week.

  • Updated the more compact “list” posts view on the web so that Micro.blog remembers if you want that to be the default view. Also adjusted a couple things in the list such as using a simple Conversation link instead of the larger button.

  • Fixed a new issue introduced yesterday where some CDN photo URLs were not correct. If any photos or thumbnails were not loading for you, they should be working again.

  • We are welcoming @sod to the email support team this week! To clear the slate and make things easier, I’m closing any email from over a month ago that didn’t get a reply. I’m very sorry for the things I missed. Please re-send any questions that still need attention or ask @help.

  • Added “Show Title Field” option in “…” context menu on the web.

  • Fixed not being able to enable Medium cross-posting for some users.
