@starrwulfe I got your .xml files and I'm testing with them. On first glance, it all seems fine and should be working. Will report back in email when I know more.

@robertbreen Sorry, I missed that mention because for full-length blog posts, Micro.blog doesn't include them in the Mentions section... I know, this is confusing. (Also weird about the help center! That's totally automated, had no idea.)

@otaviocc I think I know what that is, will fix it. Did by chance you just re-enable cross-posting? Anyway it shouldn’t happen again.

@starrwulfe Can you email me the XML file? I’ll check out why it might not have copied the images. For the fediverse handle, currently that will need to be reset for the new domain. I’d like to make that migration easier in the future because right now you lose followers when it changes.

@Skarjune We never had PayPal. Bank account, debit, credit card, or Apple Pay should work.

@starrwulfe Fediverse accounts are per Micro.blog account, not per blog. They are basically tied to your profile... If you have multiple blogs that all feed into the profile, then all of those posts will go out to the fediverse. For BridgyFed to Bluesky... I'm not sure I've tested that. There's also the option to let Micro.blog cross-post to Bluesky, and it'll also bring replies back in.

@toddgrotenhuis It's still working for me, but I've heard from a couple people who had that problem. Disabling and re-enabling Threads cross-posting should fix it. I think it's some kind of authentication issue, looking into it.

@jimmitchell Thanks for bringing this up again. Lemme see if I can finally track it down.

@timapple It's just a hardcoded list right now, but if you send me which Nostr relays you want, I can add them for everyone. I'd like to make it configurable later.

@otaviocc I think it should be fixed now. Let me know if not!

@crossingthethreshold @vincent There was a networking issue, fixed now... Let me know if it doesn't come back online. Your site is loading for me now.

@iChris Yikes, those checkboxes are huge in Arc, thanks. I'll fix that.

@otaviocc I checked and I was having trouble loading your feed too, but now I think it's working, so maybe a temporary glitch in the network somewhere. Let me know if it doesn't fix itself in a few minutes.

@pratik Glad that was it. We'll lift this limitation after I'm positive we've got all the other bugs worked out. (Trying very hard not to introduce new bugs!)

@help

@SimonWoods @pratik One thing that's not obvious... Auto-complete only works at the end of a post currently. Might be something like that interfering rather than the Mac dock feature specifically.

@skoobz I'm not seeing your Threads username. Can you send it to me again? Thanks!

@skoobz Not seeing problems here. I'll re-invite you in Threads if it got disconnected.

@jonah When the cursor goes to the top or bottom, is it when pressing the arrow keys?

@help

@maique I'm seeing this too for very long posts. It seems to lock up, then does eventually work but it's slow. Probably will disable highlighting for long posts if there's no obvious fix.

@jonah Trying to reproduce this so I can fix it... Also considering an option to disable the editor.

@aurora Looks like because an email was marked as spam, it stopped sending future emails. I've cleared the block, should work now.

@cliffordbeshers I can reproduce this now and I'm working on fixing it. The "_tag" is an internal reference that shouldn't appear like that.

@maique No, it hadn't been rolled out, but it's live now.

@tinyroofnail Oh, I remember now. Only del is supported, because strike has been deprecated in HTML. (I'll still add it again.)

Avatar

Micro.blog
@help

@tinyroofnail Strikethrough isn't currently a supported tag in the timeline. I don't think that was intentional... I'm going to add it today. It should appear correctly on your blog, though.

There was a glitch this morning that prevented some blogs from updating right away. Everything should be running smoothly now. If you see any issues, let us know!

There might be some very brief downtime late tonight (midnight CST) for an upgrade. 1-2 minutes at most. Finalizing the rollout of new blog hosting features.

Sorry for the downtime. An issue with one of our servers caused much of Micro.blog to be down early this morning, although hosted blogs continued to work. All good now. Thanks!

We need to upgrade one of the Micro.blog servers tonight, midnight CST. There will be about 10 minutes of downtime on the timeline, but blogs hosted on Micro.blog will stay up throughout the upgrade.

We’re going to upgrade one of the Micro.blog servers tonight at midnight CST, so some parts of Micro.blog will be offline. It may take up to 20-30 minutes (hopefully less).

Apologies for some extra flakiness (and “not found” error messages) for a few minutes this morning as a Micro.blog server upgrade went off the rails. Everything should be running smoothly now. If you see any problems, please email help@micro.blog.

There was an issue this morning with parts of Micro.blog that lead to slow connections or timeouts. I’m bringing everything back online now, with a couple features temporarily disabled (some profile photos, some Mastodon-related requests). Thanks for your patience!

There was a temporary glitch when deploying some Micro.blog changes today that affected creating new posts. Should be resolved now! Apologies for the outage.

If you noticed any new posts failing or taking longer than usual to show up today, that problem has now been resolved. Thanks for your support! (I’ll be keeping on an eye on this so it doesn’t happen again.)

Push notifications to iOS for replies are working again. Thanks for your patience while we sorted that out.

Avatar

@help

If you’re using iOS, you may have noticed that push notifications for @-replies haven’t been sent the last few days. I’m looking into this and hope to have it resolved soon. In the meantime, don’t forget to check the Mentions section for replies.

We are rolling out updated Facebook cross-posting today with support for Facebook pages. Facebook has turned off posting directly to your profile, for all apps including Micro.blog, but pages are still allowed. Click “Edit Feeds & Cross-posting” to set up page posting. Thanks!

After some server improvements today, looking into a new issue with the web version of Micro.blog signing you out too soon. Sessions usually last for months. (iOS and Mac apps should be fine.)

Welcome! The full timeline and reply interface will be rolled out soon. In the meantime, create a new microblog or configure your account to point to an existing blog. If you have any questions, check out the help site.
