Micro.blog

I follow the Discover timeline via RSS. What would be SUPER COOL is a way for m.b to add a “reply on Micro.blog” at the end of these posts, so it’s a single click to get back to the timeline to reply to them! 😃 👍 @manton @jean

@Burk YES!!!

@Burk @manton @jean I would 100% second with this. I have been doing a simular thing though RSS and it takes a bit of work if I want to respond to a post. I know there is the Plug-in that can kind of do this but for the normal user they probably won't enable it or if they then change their theme (like I did) it might break or go away.

@Burk Yes please! I generally click the conversation link to see the convo on the web and came sometimes reply from there. An easy link with a single click would be fabulous.

@Miraz @burk but that would mean modifying the feed to have a linkback not to the original post but to the MB timeline, right? Is that possible?

@pratik Every post has an ID associated with it in Micro.blog. As the Discovery feed is derived from the data stored in MB, it should be easy to append to the post text. Not saying I will do it, but it certainly is possible.

@vincent See, you say things like this and expect me to not ask for new features. What else are you holding back on? 😆

@pratik Keep 'em coming. I'll just add everything to a list, and then one day it will come 😋

@vincent As long as I'm not screaming into an abyss

@pratik Every feature request will be put into our special folder. 🗑️ 😉 @vincent

@odd I swear that's what they call my feature request list over at MB HQ 🙃

@pratik You should change your username 🤣

@sod I didn't know you had made an alternative feed! Great experiment.

@Burk I'm not that savvy. How do you get a RSS feed for the Discover page?

@sod this is super nice!

@sod That’s fantastic! Is there a way to make this work for the timeline feed as well?

@joelhamill The JSON feed is https://micro.blog/posts/discover. It's not RSS, but most modern feed readers can handle it. There's a list of feeds over at the Help Center.

@sod sweet. I was not aware of the list of feeds. Thanks.

@manton I haven't really told anyone before now. 😊 Thanks! It might be a nice feature to add officially. The feature could be opt-in by adding ?includeConversationLink=true or similar to feed URLs.

@sod Definitely love for this to be the default @manton

@sod Cool stuff!

@sod wow this is awesome and yes something like that is what I was thinking.

@sod brilliant .. the inability to reply or follow makes the official rss feed close to useless for my needs, which is why I just use discover in the app … Thankyou.

@vincent 😂😂

@sod On the list of feeds, what do they mean by this one: "Friends’ posts for what the specified user sees in their timeline"?

@JohnAN Based on which username you put into the URL, you will get that user's timeline as an RSS feed. For example, your timeline is available at https://micro.blog/feeds/JohnAN.xml.

@sod Aha. Gosh you're good value :) Thank you for the info.

@joelhamill I was going to reply with the .rss feed, but check this out instead! micro.blog/sod/14620...

@sod Super rad, thanks!

@sod Ah! This is going to reveal who's following whom 🙃
