yeah, no, that didn’t work. Back to the drawing board. Or whatever board is needed for my wicked plans of social media subversion via POSSE to see the success they so richly deserve.

@starrwulfe thanks very much for the offer of help. I’ve connected BlueSky, but only one post of three has gone through. Well, its a start. And the only way I can make Mastodon work is to boost my @writingslowly posts to my main @writingslowly account. Any thoughts?

@writingslowly With the latter part of your statement where you're boosting your own posts, it's gonna be that way until your blog is properly "meshed" into the fediverse. I created 2 accounts on different servers that are known to be federated with the big fish like Mastodon.social and mstdn.jp and just have them "auto-boost" every post coming from my site. It also helps if you create an account with one of the big boys to do this.

The bluesky part-- that took me a few days to get going. It's more with the internals over there. Just post normally and it should start rolling along...

@starrwulfe thanks - helpful to hear it confirmed there's no way round the Mastodon issue at present. Must investigate 'auto-boost'. And yes it does seem more like an issue with BlueSky than with micro.blog . It feels like plumbing - obviously not magic, but still a bit mysterious! Thanks again
