How do people integrate their long form blogging with their micro blogging? All on the same platform or somewhere else entirely? Still trying to figure out micro.blog.
@bryanrobb for me, everything goes, however, I do have two separate RSS feeds people can subscribe to. Anything that has a title goes to a “blog” feed, the other is for everything
@bryanrobb Mine is just all merged into one. I host everything on a Wordpress site and syndicate here (and via here to other places) in order to participate in the community.
@Gaby I’d be interested in learning how to do this if there’s a non sophisticated (read: not tech savvy) way to go about it.
@adoran2 so do you choose with each post on Wordpress whether it ends up here or not? Or is it automatic?
@bryanrobb It’s all automatic. Every post gets picked up from my Wordpress RSS feed and is posted to the timeline here. Micro.blog then also syndicates it to my Mastodon account (and Twitter, LinkedIn etc. if I wanted it to).
@bryanrobb @UndamnedOne It is really not that complicated. Micro.blog has the ability to set up categories, and can automatically filter posts into those categories, I have one set up for Blog, and is anything that has a title, and another one Notes, anything less than 280 with no title. Each category does have its own feed and people, if they don’t want short posts, they can subscribe to the specific category. I know other folks here have figured out a way to edit their themes so only certain posts with a certain tag/category go to their blog while others won’t show in their blog but will still all show up in the timeline. Like only titled posts will show on the site but short ones won’t. That’s a cool thing but I don’t have the knowledge to do such a thing. So I just opted for setting up two categories and letting people on my Hello!/about page where they can subscribe for what.
