HEY renewal day. I was going to get another year, but I’m not sure I can justify it really. I like the blogging element as well, though again I can’t really justify maintaining both that and my micro.blog one. Hmm.
@AndyNicolaides don’t want to encourage you to buy something you don’t need, but the new m.b feature to import feeds to your blog (and not just timeline) makes having multiple sources better.
@toddgrotenhuis wait...what's this feature? So I could pull from a feed (like instagram? or a podcast RSS?) and it would appear on my blog as a post?
@toddgrotenhuis @chrisjwilson wait, I think I’ve missed something also. Can I pull in HEY World blog posts into my main blog / feed?
@AndyNicolaides @ChrisJWilson I don’t think it would handle instagram yet, as it’s currently doing text only, but @manton plans to fix that. his announcement
@toddgrotenhuis @chrisjwilson @manton ooh wow, I missed this. I just tried it and it seemed to work perfectly, pulling in a post from HEY World. It even pulled the header image in!
@AndyNicolaides @toddgrotenhuis @manton wow, so it’s a way to implement a PESOS rather than POSSE ? That’s really interesting .
@ChrisJWilson @AndyNicolaides @toddgrotenhuis I would fall over if Instagram ever worked. Although, I suppose they don't care about photos anymore so I guess there's a chance?
@frostedechoes I’d cancelled mine, then I saw you can now pull in blog posts written there onto my micro.blog blog and it tempted me back.
@frostedechoes I tested it yesterday and it worked a treat. It pulled in the header image I used as well, into a micro.blog blog post. I like the editor in HEY so that’s great for me.
@jasonekratz @AndyNicolaides Mine doesn't renew until like March or April next year, part of me wants to walk away. even though I have my iCould email forwarding to HEY, there are certain accounts/emails it won't get forwarded, not sure why. I like how it makes email easy and somewhat fun to use and that I have access to it no matter the platform, but the price tag.... usually when I renew is because I have had a few beers and like with every great decision I've ever made, I say fuck it! lol
@AndyNicolaides I canceled my Hey subscription and switched to Fastmail with a custom domain. I set up the Feed and Paper Trail features of Hey using Rules in Fastmail. I don't need the Hey World blog when I have Micro.blog.
