@manton The error was from the Microblog iOS app. It looks like I can reply, but not make a new post? The error text was: “An error occured. Please try again.”

@manton @cheesemaker Just checking to make sure you guys saw the “save the date” that was posted to the Release Notes Slack. (I know a lot of people have notifications off.) It would be great if you and your wives could join.

@manton When you say Apple believes in privacy, I’m afraid you give them too much credit. Apple is a multinational corporation. It doesn’t believe in anything except increasing shareholder value. I’m glad Apple has embraced privacy, but they embrace it because it’s profitable, not out of altruism.

@manton The post this is in reply to was successfully sucked in by Micro.Blog from WordPress, but it never cross-posted to Mastodon. Is there anything I as a regular user can do to make M.B realize it needs to push it to Mastodon? I tried updating the published time in WP, but that didn’t work.

@manton Thanks Manton. I know you have to prioritize features and triage fixes. But having to use the WordPress app has kept me from posting things that I would have otherwise posted. When it works, the Micro.Blog app is a huge step up in usability compared to the WordPress app.

@manton Does Nest have external temperature sensors available (like Ecobee)? Being able to read the temperature in different parts of the house really helped us wrangle our thermostat into submission.

@manton So for my purposes, the ActivityPub plugin is overkill. Micro.Blog reposting to Mastodon pretty much does what I want.

@manton I looked at the ActivityPub WP plugin but it doesn’t really do what I want. I want blog posts to be republished on Micro.Blog and Mastodon (“write once, publish everywhere”). I don’t want my blog to have an ActivityPub identity of its own. And I certainly don’t replies to appear on my blog.

@manton I was testing how usernames are presented as they pass from WordPress to Micro.Blog to Mastodon. A while back, I wrote a WP plugin to linkify usernames. I was trying to decide whether to update it, but I’ve decided to rip out that section of code and let each service do whatever they want.
