@ohBananaJoe just made a correction to my HEY World URL

@ohBananaJoe Feel free to add my HEY name as well. 😀

@ohBananaJoe 😆🙈

@ohBananaJoe Yes, please. 🙂 // @paulopinto

@ohBananaJoe in the HEY users table, fascinating how people put their /username in the URL, I’m the only one who wrote username.micro.blog version… the former is pointing to the MB timeline, the latter pointing to the actual MB hosted website.

@ohBananaJoe No, I was just curious… as I was the only who wrote it that way, I thought that was me who erred…

@ohBananaJoe hehe

@ohBananaJoe Maybe because I see all the HEY chatter, I expected a bigger list!

I’m resisting. I just swirch my main address from Google hosting to FastMail, after many headache-inducing DNS tangles.

@ohBananaJoe sure!

@ohBananaJoe Interesting! Still holding up on subscribing. Maybe you can help me figure out if the SEND-AS feature (which I cannot test with the trial version) works when you use username+APP-Specific-password (generated from the likes of Google and Office365). :)

@jean interesting. have fastmail (tried to use runbox.com, but it was too unreliable, went back to fastmail), but thinking of Hey. haha.

@ohBananaJoe weird. Couldn’t see that on my trial version. Will reinstall and see. Thanks.

@ohBananaJoe You could add me to the list too if you like: bsag@hey.com and world.hey.com/bsag

@ohBananaJoe Thanks! It’s great to discover more HEY World users - thanks for compiling the list.

@ohBananaJoe oh. Been trying it from the app. Will try it on the web. Thanks.

@rom HEY World is unavailable on trial accounts.

@rishabh not testing that. Trying to figure out if app-specific passwords work for Send As SMTP settings. Not available on app. Might be on web.

@maique thanks. Actually looking for this answer to confirm. Have you tried it with those “not supported” when used with app-specific passwords? Haha anyway, thanks for confirming app-specific password support.

@maique @rishabh @ohBananajoe thanks guys. I was doing it all wrong. I had to create a trial account (and not use the app to create a disposable email) and add the SMTP. I managed to get it to work with Outlook.com using app-specific password. :) Thanks again. Much help. I have 13 days to figure out if it is a keeper. :)

@maique thanks. forwarding my simplelogin.io temporary addresses to it and see how good it is at sorting. :)

@ohBananaJoe I am muttering to myself: “I do not need HEY. I do not need HEY. I do not need HEY.”

Not sure it is working.

@ohBananaJoe I like being on lists. Can I be on the list? Jack Baty, jbaty@hey.com, micro.blog/jack

@ohBananaJoe Technically there is one at world.hey.com/jbaty but I haven’t done more with it than a couple of test posts. Thanks for adding me!

@ohBananaJoe That seems a good use of it. I’m still tinkering with Substack but since I’m also using Ghost for blogging, their built-in membership/newsletter stuff is pretty solid also. Not sure where HEY World fits with all this yet. It’s such a cool service though!

@jack Signed up.

@ohBananaJoe Boy, is this the longest thread or what?! 😀 // @jack
