@pixelfed 👏

@pixelfed that's cool... I wonder of this is portable enough for an import on Micro.blog... cc @manton

@numericcitizen @pixelfed I love this! Big fan of self-contained exports that have both JSON and HTML. This seems really similar to the .bar format, maybe it could be tweaked to be compatible? (I'll test whenever this change is live on pixelfed.social.)

@manton @numericcitizen @pixelfed That is so cool! Having it locally accessible with an HTML site is so user-friendly.

@numericcitizen Why not just cross-post to Pixelfed? Unless you want to consolidate your photos presence. I do that with my Glass uploads with Echofeed. Even Micro.blog has a native Pixelfed crossposting feature (it sends all uploads tho and I want to be selective) @manton @jarrod

@pixelfed
This has potential

@pratik you are absolutely right here. Good reminder. It might be the best solution after all. For some reason, I always thought that photos should not be cross-posted, only text posts. I'll try it with my next post. Stay tuned. @manton @jarrod

@pratik well, sadly, the authentication from Micro.blog to Pixelfed.social throws an error "Error while processing the request. Please try again...". Calling @manton on that one.

@numericcitizen Ok. I haven’t used that in over a year @manton

@pixelfed What. A. Great. Idea. Thank you so much!

@numericcitizen @pratik Troubleshooting, it appears Pixelfed is returning a "CSRF token mismatch" error. I'm fixing Micro.blog to show the real error. This appears to be a new Pixelfed problem, though.

@pixelfed This is nice!

@pixelfed brilliant initiative. Thank you for this

@manton @numericcitizen @pratik This has been fixed!

@pixelfed signing from Micro.blog working now. Thanks. Cc @manton
