Mastodon replies in Micro.blog: manton.org

@manton Very nice, Manton! Works very well :) Of note, to undo the filtering, click the active filter again and it clears to show all replies. Thanks!

@manton Will this work for the Mastodon account I crosspost my Micro.blog posts too?

@manton I still can't see the context of Bluesky replies, so I disabled cross-posting all over again. Anyway, a big part of the problem for me is the lack of any control over what's included and how it's formatted in the first place. Plus there are the differences between Bluesky and Mastodon. 1/

@otaviocc Agreed.

@otaviocc @markstoneman Interesting, not sure I agree that the replies should be removed, but I'll think about it. The filter buttons will automatically be hidden when there are no longer recent replies from those services, though.

@markstoneman I'm working on pulling in the full conversation for Bluesky replies. I still find it useful even without that, but totally fine if not everyone wants to use it.

@pratik Yes.

@manton Woo hoo! That's amazing. Guess it's ok to turn off my Micro.blog-powered Fediverse handle?

@manton very cool. Always great to see features like this in M.b. Keep it up!

@manton Your last sentence: works for me.

@manton nice. I have been doing some of this with Bridgy, but I don’t like relying on that external service. This cuts out the middle man it seems. Thank you.

@manton I was just wondering about this and was trying to find an answer in the documentation.

The reason is, I have a blogpost which was cross-posted to Bluesky and Mastodon. A reply from Bluesky is shown below the post on my blog, but a reply from Mastodon is not.

If I understand correctly, with these changes, the reply from Mastodon should also show up? And for future posts only, or the reply from a couple of hours ago should have been picked up as well?

@stijndm The fact that Mastodon replied aren’t showing up yet on your blog is a limitation… I should have that updated this week so that it works.

@otaviocc It will use the currently-enabled Mastodon account, or if there isn’t one it will use your fediverse handle. If that’s not enabled, the reply can’t be sent.

@manton Allright, looking forward to that. Really loving the recent feature updates!

@stijndm This should be working now for future replies. Older replies are still kind of orphaned… I may be able to wire them up again, but I'm not sure.

@manton I was literally wondering how replies worked in bluesky when we crosspost. Glad to see improvements in this area!

@manton nice change .. thankyou

Noting your reply to @stijndm .. is the plan later in the week that all mastodon historical replies will suddenly appear in the timeline .. or am I misunderstanding?

@JohnPhilpin Not all of the old ones, no. It gets the most recent replies from Mastodon and those will show up, but it doesn't try to get all replies from Mastodon (there might be quite a few for some accounts).

@manton Amazing, thank you.

@manton oh, wow, when you said later this week I was not expecting “in a couple of hours, by the time you wake up.” 😅

Thanks for the speedy work!

@manton This is really cool! Does it work for quote posts on Bluesky too? I suppose that’s technically a response too, right?

@moonmehta Yes, quote posts on Bluesky will come through essentially like any @-mention. It doesn't currently include the quoted link, though… I can look at that if there's interest. You can also always click through the date/time link to see the context in Bluesky.

@manton that makes sense - thank you

@manton Great that it pulls in quote posts too. Although I think the quoted link is essential.

@manton I appreciate the consistency!

@otaviocc I think some kind of warning does make sense in that case.

@manton just wanted to let you know I’m not yet seeing replies from mastodon showing up on my blog. (I cross-post to mastodon, if that makes a difference).
