@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?

Lovely gift from a new friend and reader. A view from the Atacama desert in Chile that looks like it’s from the Moon.

@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.

@jatowler Yes, the Pika blog is on a separate domain thoughts.jatan.space. I plugged its RSS feed to Micro.blog.

It’s important to be on social media because it’s useful to know what mediocrity and human gullibility is like.

@manton Does installing your No robots plugin also disable search indexing for my whole Micro.blog profile or just for my hosted blog?

That moment when you realize that Bangalore’s aloo bonda is closer to a vada pav than Bangalore’s vada pav.

And that the pav here is that much farther away from the vada pav pav.

@manton Maybe something like “Connect your social media account or blog to Micro.blog. Your posts will automagically show up on your Micro.blog profile for people to reply on.” Then, clicking on the CTA there could present some common options instead of the current method which just says “Add Source”.

@manton I can see what you mean. Trying to think more creatively then, how about better exposing the “Bring your own blog” functionality instead? At least after someone has already decided not to be a paid customer.

@moonmehta

@manton This is great! Thanks for providing more value to your customers, myself included. Do you plan on providing a bit more value for the Free plan? Perhaps something like limited number of total blog posts like Pika blog has come up with. Or a monthly limit maybe.
