@pratik I have no clue!
you can’t export your content if you have 500+ photos.
Oh, no, really? That’s not good.

My federated Flipboard profile somehow crossed 1,000 followers for my space articles that are auto-shared there: flipboard.com/@moonmehta
Jatan Mehta
@moonmehta
@pratik Why not just keep around both as federated and let people follow either of the profiles they stumble upon?
Jatan Mehta
@moonmehta
@jimmitchell @pratik I’ve done the aliasing but I don’t see people auto-following my Mastodon if they follow on Micro.blog. I thought aliasing was for the two networks to know that the profiles belong to the same person. Perhaps @manton can clarify.
Jatan Mehta
@moonmehta
@pratik Haha. Just the two: space and non-space. :)
Jatan Mehta
@moonmehta
@pratik One downside of disabling federation on this account is that it could screw up portability when people move their follows or followers to another instance.

A daylong train ride is a one-day vacation with the self if you want it to be. Immerse yourself in reading a new thing, and it might as well be a trip.

@manton I’d like an invite for Threads cross-posting too.

Incredible how well my feed reader Feedbin works on the Kindle despite the latter’s sluggish, barebones browser. Truly the one app to read them all: https://journal.jatan.space/why-use-rss

Many readers have asked me this week if I plan on blogging something today for the anniversary of Chandrayaan 3’s Moon landing. The answer is the same as what I do for Apollo anniversaries: Nothing.
And here’s why: https://jatan.space/on-celebrating-moon-landings/ 💬

It’s not enough to escape Windows in your computer because apparently you need to do it at the ATM too..
..and at the hospital.
Sighs.

If you’re too obsessed with context, you’ll end up wanting to become a cosmologist.

This week’s Moon Monday covers in-depth the next two lunar missions by Intuitive Machines for NASA CLPS, and then some more! https://jatan.space/moon-monday-issue-189/ 🚀🌗

@manton Yes. In my case, the warning only pushes me mentally to shorten text rather than write what I just want to.

@manton Looks good. An option to disable the character counter would be good.

I like that Apple cares about its consumers above all.
This is pretty questionable, especially for events across the last decade.

Which is the best RSS reader for browsing photos, comics, and more such visual content? Inoreader and Feedly have grid modes on their Desktop websites but wondering if there’s an optimized reader for image-first posts?

Do you read articles on Medium? Wondering if I should get its membership. Have the member-only stories you read made you think and improved your understanding of the world?

@soaproot Ah, I see. That would be nice as a start, I guess.

@KimberlyHirsh Haha. I should get them to sponsor my newsletter. XD

@wbknl I like this list too.

@moonmehta
@manton Thanks. Pretty impressive. Intrigued to see where this evolves.

@manton Question related to link archiving in Premium: I can’t find it in the documentation but IIRC Micro.bog archives links within a blog post? Is this a Micro.blog archive or Wayback Machine archive or both? And I also vaguely remember Micro.blog notifying you of dead links or something?
Jatan Mehta
@moonmehta
@aeryn I will try this too, thanks.

@manton I think I’m able to see that wide time difference between checks in the Logs.

@moonmehta
@manton Is Micro.blog slow to pick up posts from an RSS feed lately? For example, this one didn’t show up for half an hour either after which I manually refreshed.
Jatan Mehta
@moonmehta
@jatowler Yes, the Pika blog is on a separate domain thoughts.jatan.space. I plugged its RSS feed to Micro.blog.

@pratik I’m with @jsonbecker on this one. Micro.blog also increased the width on Desktop sometime back. I thought I’d like it in time but I still don’t.
Jatan Mehta
@moonmehta
@manton Done.

@manton Is it possible to change the subdomain of a hosted blog here without resetting the yearly payment already made on the $5 plan?
