@manton I might as well turn this on as well, even though I’m using Nostr. Barely visit bsky these days…

@maique I had to take a break from Bluesky, there was so much going on over there.

@maique @manton glad that I am not the only feeling that. I was barely checking because it was overwhelming with content.

@otaviocc Same. Whenever I go out of the comfort zone, it’s a mess!

@otaviocc I understand that. But so far, the only spoke about this possibility of federation, but until I see it happening, I'm considering it vaporware.

@manton Does your site offer a long posts-only RSS feed? I wonder if it would be too heavy-handed to have one available for all Micro.blog sites by default.

@jarrod Mine does, at /categories/essays/feed.xml. I think we never standardized it for everyone because I couldn't figure out what it should be called. "Long posts", "essays", etc... Everyone has a slightly different name.

@manton Maybe everyone gets automatic category filters of “long posts” and “short posts” by default, but they can be disabled or renamed?

@jarrod Maybe. Although I also wonder if the extra complexity ("what are these categories?") outweighs the benefit. We could have a tutorial on setting this up, or maybe a quick one-click solution similar to the filter checkbox for photos.

@manton That might be a nice middle ground. I know personally like subscribing to folks’ longer stuff via my RSS reader, but the way Micro.blog sites are by default that means I also get all the short posts too. With the guidance toward adding a title when longer and how those posts are displayed differently on the timeline, I think it would be pretty natural to have a little more automatic separation in the way people can subscribe to someone’s posts.

@birming Currently you'd need to use a theme to adjust the home page truncation automatically. But if you know where you want it truncated, inserting <!--more--> for the cut will work on the web and in the newsletter.

@manton isn’t there already a ‘standard’ category called ‘Titled Posts’ ?

I would also vote for a better category management system first and before going too far down this route.

Makes note to self to add to the @pratik thread in help…

@JohnPhilpin I read that as “Tilted posts”, and it got me thinking about my unofficial RFC about diagonally oriented screens. (Link is in absentia)

@JohnPhilpin Nope, there are no default categories for new accounts.

@manton oh - i see what I have done - it is a rule I set up that is categorizing into 'Titled Posts'.

@jarrod mine is called “macro” but same idea as Manton. Auto category when a post has a title.

@jsonbecker yes - just realized that I had set that up - thought it was automatic. Now just disabled. It was great to pick up all the title posts to see what is there - but there are some posts I make with title - that don’t fit into my 'Long Form' posts - do now moved back to manual while I slowly sort out the history.

@jsonbecker Me too, I set them up manually as “micro-posts” and “macro-posts” but I’m considering changing them to “short-posts” and “long-posts” for clarity.
