Prompted by Cory Dransfeldt’s post I imported my Letterboxd data into Trakt. This in addition to owning my own Watches using a custom GoBlog plugin.

❤ Liked: My 20th anniversary of blogging!
Twenty years ago today, I wrote my first blog post! (I stopped blogging from about 2009-2011, so I haven’t technically been blogging for twenty years yet — guess I get to celebrate twenty years twice 😂) My old blogs In the intervening years, I’ve blogged at: a college blog, a daily photo blog, an original art blog I ran briefly with a friend, a post-college blog, another original art blog I ran slightly longer with my sister, two blogs through office jobs, my fiction pen name, my ongoing Casc…
If there’s no custom domain, what does the Mastodon-compatible username look like? @username@micro.blog of course! In this way, Micro.blog looks a lot more like another Mastodon instance, but an instance that also has a full suite of blogging features, IndieWeb protocols, and everything else we’ve been building for years.
I abandoned my barely active account on birdsite recently and I was giving the Fosstodon instance a try, but I’ve been cross-posting from my IndieWebsite to M.b for a while now. Micro.blog is offering (including free users like me) a great opportunity to bridge 3 communities together. This is game changer.
Once you GoBlog, you never go back. Thank you for all the improvements, Jan-Lukas.
I faced the same dilemma recently, but here’s the thing, even though I built websites for a living in the past, the truth is I am not a pro web dev and this is all quite technical.
I decided to implement (WIP) webmentions, micropub and everything IndieWeb because I’ve found value in learning about it.
There’s still some things I need to figure out, but I’m gonna stick with receiving webmentions notifications on RSS and displaying my likes/replies to posts around the web as social notes.
I’d say if it’s already setup and it doesn’t affect your workflow, stick with it, invest that time and energy on writing new posts. I’m sure like me there’s lots of people that enjoy them.
Thanks for the welcome, James. And specially for taking the time to point out fixes, really appreciated! I'm still trying to figure some things out, but will work on it.
