@manton As Anton said, I have found it can take several minutes even for the item to appear in Posts on micro.blog, let alone publish. On a few occasions I have assumed that the ping was not received and therefore manually copy/pasted the post and then came back to find a duplicate. It acts as though the pings are queuing up to be processed later. My microblog posting script really has one line: http.readUrl("[micro.blog/ping](https://micro.blog/ping?url=)" + opml.getHeaders().urlPublic)

@dave In my experience there is a bit of a lag when posting from Drummer to micro.blog. I don’t know whether that is because of the server my blog is on or something happening in general. @manton

@frankm @dave I remember investigating this lag, pretty sure it’s on the Micro.blog side, but I couldn’t reproduce it with my own testing. Is the lag worse than 30 seconds or so?

@manton I posted via Drummer last night and the lag seemed to be minutes or more.

@manton – here’s what the script on my end does

gist.github.com/scripting…

there is a comment about trying to make the update happen instantaneously, but that call gets a 301 error, that’s a redirect, so something weird may be going on there.
