Micro.blog News

  • Fixed an issue with embedding Bluesky cards and Standard.site publishing for AT Protocol.

  • Added RSS.chat as an option when manually cross-posting to other services. Manual cross-posting uses a different list of platforms, available on the Posts page → “Cross-post…” button.

  • Sunlit has been updated with some more little fixes. If you’ve been waiting to try Sunlit again, this is the version to try.

  • Micro.blog for Mac version 4.0.5 is now available. It features a better publishing progress pane and a few bug fixes.

  • Fixed another issue today with blog publishing not updating with latest posts.

  • Improved post deletion to more consistently handle removing posts from the timeline and your blog. Before, the social and blog hosting parts of Micro.blog were more disconnected, sometimes requiring removing a post in multiple places. It’s now smarter about doing the right thing.

  • Fixed some temporarily glitches with blog publishing. Also fixed signing in with email for Sunlit. Apologies for the flakiness!

  • Fixed adding muted domain names. Before, it could mute Bluesky usernames but not reliably mute everything from a particular Mastodon hostname, for example.

  • Sunlit has been updated with fixes and design improvements for Liquid Glass. Sunlit is our iOS app for photo-blogging, with great support for posting longer posts with multiple photos and text sections.

  • Fixed an intermittent issue today with posting errors, especially when uploading a photo. Sorry about that.

  • Fixed import from Write.as and added option to only import specific blogs.

  • Updated the Mac app to version 4.0.4, fixing a few issues and adding a new Scheduled tab to more easily keep track of posts scheduled to publish later. Reminder you can use File → Schedule when writing a new post.

  • Fixed an issue with processing RSS feeds where the summary was set incorrectly, which would lead to too much text for long-form blog posts being included in fediverse posts.

  • There was some downtime for our EU servers. We’ve fixed the issue and hosted blogs in the EU should be back online now.

  • Added custom channels (for grouping multiple RSS feeds) to our Microsub API support. There is also a new default Feeds channel for seeing all posts. Compatible with client apps like Monocle.

  • Improved accessibility text generation to prefer using a blog’s defaultContentLanguage Hugo field if set, otherwise it will use the account’s language.

  • Upgraded a couple servers this morning. The upgrade went smoothly and you shouldn’t notice any changes.

  • Improved automatic podcast transcripts with new model. Works better for longer episodes.

  • There was a new issue that caused some recently-published blog posts to sporadically return 404 not found. The error has been fixed. Sorry about that!

  • Added video podcasts for Micro.blog Studio. Micro.blog can make an MP3 from uploaded videos, linking the audio and video in the podcast RSS feed. Manton has blogged more about it here.

  • Added YouTube as a video cross-posting option on the Sources page.

  • Fixed another new issue with cross-posting large images.

  • Fixed some potential new flakiness with cross-posting photos to other social networks.

  • Minor improvements today to the Uploads page (better mouse highlighting) and collections list (added photo thumbnails).

  • Fixed a new issue where profile photos would revert to a favicon from your external blog instead of Gravatar. Now only sets to an external favicon if Gravatar is blank and you haven’t uploaded a photo.
