    What is Micro.blog up to?

    Aaron Parecki
    Well @snarfed said everything I wanted to about Micro.blog and @manton, but there's one thing I wanted to add.

    Micro.blog *does* accept webmentions from external websites even if that website doesn't have a micro.blog account. That is described here: https://help.micro.blog/2017/webmention/

    What you might be seeing is that some micro.blog users don't display comments on their posts, so even though they will have received your reply, you won't see it listed as a comment. It will still show up in their timeline though.

    Recently, Micro.blog also added support for people to include their replies on their own blogs rather than only inside the micro.blog timeline. This is described here: https://help.micro.blog/2020/hosted-replies/ Not everyone has enabled that feature, and not everyone wants that either.

    I hope this helps clear some things up. @manton is definitely 100% in support of the indieweb goals, and has done an amazing job building Micro.blog. The latest features around receiving external webmentions and hosting replies on peoples' own blogs have made it a really excellent first-class IndieWeb option.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
