Another detail about Micro.one, especially for folks who want to share it with friends and family as soon as it launches: it will be limited to 3000 total subscribers. That’s a tiny number at the scale of big silos, but it’s a lot for us. Needs to be sustainable in the context of the whole platform.

what are the differences between this and the main micro.blog product?

Manton Reece

@azizforamerica.com I haven’t mentioned all the differences yet. I’ll have another blog post about it and probably a FAQ too.

Sam Radford

Are there any plans to make video embedding easier? Feels like should just be able to post a link and everything else gets automatically handled.

Manton Reece

@samradford Not immediately but I'd like to improve it. Where are you embedding video from?

Sam Radford

Just YouTube. I tried the embed code, then discovered the short code thing you can do. But I think I expected to be able to paste the link and micro.blog handle the rest. Also, had to update css as there’s no padding around the video.

Manton Reece

@samradford Thanks, we can improve the default styling for sure. Maybe when you paste a URL it should just convert to an embed for you, which could be edited. I sometimes worry about doing too much automatically for people who want to tinker with exactly how it looks.

Sam Radford

I think that would be my preference. I hear you on balance between ease of use and ability to tinker. But, even as someone who doesn’t mind tinkering, I was hoping for a more automated out of the box option. Thanks for all your work on this—I am, overall, a very happy customer!

@bazbt3 No problem, I'll remove you. Thanks for the support, let us know if you have any questions about WordPress migration.

Is it worth it for me to try micro.one?

JL Gatewood

@bazbt3 glad you like it here! Share any tips or help needed if you have any 😎

Manton Reece

@starrwulfe Probably not if you’re already using Micro.blog. It’s not going to have anything new yet.
