@numericcitizen I know you’re experimenting with Medium, so just a little bit of feedback from an outside reader: I clicked on this link because the title is intriguing, but I don’t have any interest in signing up for a whole new Medium account just to read it… so I clicked away. Totally up to you, of course, but as a reader I prefer the posts on your own websites. 🫶

@pimoore Whoop whoop! Congrats and I hope the 51st sol orbit is your best yet. Happy birthday.

@jsonbecker Right? It’s a generous offer.

@vincent It very well could be a beta bug, and I did get a prompt in the end and was able to enable notifications. Still haven’t actually received one for a mention yet, but I just toggled the setting here in the Micro.blog app to see if that gets things going again. Thanks for looking into it!

@dvdlite That’s my guess. But I feel like toggling on that setting in Micro.blog should initiate the prompt either way. Otherwise you’re set on a goose chase until you happen to receive a mention.

@jarrod (Even if original AirPods still fit my ears the best.)

@habibcham @hiro 🙏🙌

@estebantxo Me too!

@dvdlite I checked there too, but Micro.blog wasn’t listed. But I did just get a prompt from the app. Not sure what instigated it.

@help What’s the method to enable notifications if it doesn’t have a notification option in Settings? cc: @vincent

@val He said it was way past his bedtime and I had better be heading to the bedroom. 😆

@estebantxo @Annie @devondundee Thanks everyone! It’s been a big undertaking and scary to start from scratch, but I’m also pretty psyched to have something of my own and to be more in control of my schedule.

@pratik Certainly not! 😅

@jsonbecker It's the first step to getting you back on the court!

@fabio I like to think of it as another way of saying, "It's going to be okay. It's never as bad as you think."

@jarrod I’m a prolific user of Kill The Newsletter for ones that are troublesome to get into RSS form.

@jean I used to get this problem a lot. I think it was a file extension problem or something similar.

@matthewcassinelli Brutal!! 🤣

@snazzyq Glad I’m not the only one to think so. Sometimes it doesn’t even bring up a first-party app like Messages! Super frustrating when those settings are more taps away with its redesign.

@sigmund I can already tell that this is going to make me tear up.

@gabz He's so cute!

@manton And I s'pose as long as I'm reporting bugs, it looks like the editor's preview for Markdown links is getting tripped up by URLs with @-usernames in them. (And the jumping cursor just deleted a bit of what I had written here. So weird!)

​

@manton 👍 Awesome, thanks!

@pratik No trouble at all! 🙂

Hey @manton, how come emojis can get counted as multiple characters in the editor but not when they're actually published? This post was 300 characters on the dot, but the editor counted it as 303. I wasn't sure if it would get truncated, and it didn't. (Btw, I'm still seeing some weird cursor jumping in this reply box as I type today on macOS.)

​

@pratik I did see it, but I'm behind on email (where I got it). Sitting down now to get caught up on some stuff. Thanks for the reminder!

@jsonbecker That feels about right to me.
