For the Micro.blog fans: I just released version 1.0 of the ‘Open Micro.blog Reply’ shortcut! Get it here from the HeyDingus Shortcuts Library.
Ever have trouble getting back to the conversation from a reply you made that’s on your Micro.blog site? This shortcut will bring you right there!
Granted, after making the shortcut, I did also just fix the root problem by adding this bit of code to my
replies.html
andsingle.html
templates:@pimoore You bet!
@pratik @pimoore Thanks! Honestly, it was just something I enabled when setting up Micro.blog and I didn’t really understand what it would do. But since then, I’ve appreciated that I have a record — on my own domain — of my replies. I don’t skim them often, but it’s come in handy when I want to refer back to something I mentioned to someone else. Plus, when I browse other people’s sites, I often enjoy exploring through their replies, so I assume that others might like the same for me. It’s uncovered new people for me to follow, and interesting conversations. Much like the replies tab back on Twitter, I suppose.
@pratik Awesome! 🙌 I think it deletes it everywhere, except perhaps for folks reading via Mastodon because the distribution there is kind of weird. But if you want, we can test it! I’ll make a test comment on one of your posts and then delete it. We’ll see if it disappears from your site.
@pratik It does indeed delete your comments off others’ sites. I made and deleted a test comment here, and it’s gone.
Nice.
@manton @vincent Can this be converted to a plug-in or rather baked into Micro.blog? Because it really seems like this feature should work on the hosted Replies page by default regardless of the theme.
