NaNoWriMo, gift subscriptions, and more on Micro.blog manton.org

@manton Do you have to #tag the word Inktober, or will it work like for NaNoWriMo (ie without the #tag)?

@kaa Without the tag. It will find the word if it's just mentioned in the post, no need for #.

@manton These are some great features Manton, should make the experience on the web a lot better. Especially the gift subscription is a wonderful idea - would be a nice way to inspire more (hesitant) people to join the m.b community. Kudos and thank you! 👍🏽🙂

@manton 🙌

@amit Thank you!

@manton Perfect :)

@manton this is great, thanks Manton. That link you included on webmentions was really useful as well.

@herself Glad to hear! Thanks.

@manton Awesome job!

@manton Great new improvements. Love the gift feature - is it possible to gift existing users? Ie. Could I gift myself? (I'm trying to avoid monthly exchange fees, would be happy to pay annually.)

@syneryder Thanks! Including a message is a good idea. When they redeem it, it does show the name of who invited them, and this could be expanded.

@oyam No way to use it for existing users yet, but we can consider it. It would be a nice work-around until we have yearly payment for all subscriptions (planned for next year). Now that I've done this I can also manually apply it to other users if you want to send me an email.

@manton Just noticed there are three posts from @til in the NaNoWriMo Discover that don’t have “NaNoWriMo” in them! 😲

@smokey Thanks, I've removed the few that showed up incorrectly. (It was because "nanowrimo" was in one of the URLs.)

@manton Is gifting subscriptions still a thing? I can't see the option. Or maybe only hosted users can gift?

@theguycalledtom Somewhere along the way the link got out of date and removed. From the web I think you can click here and still access it. Thanks! (It does require a paid subscription to be able to pay for someone else's blog.)
