I x-post all my notes (short, long-form) also to Twitter. While the Long-form content works fine with Brid.gy to get the comments from Twitter below my posts on M.B, I have to add some extra markup everytime after posting a short note to achieve the same there.
Is there an easier way to do the following?
short note on M.B. → x-posted to Twitter
Copy Link to tweet on Twitter
Edit Note on M.B. add the hidden <a-markup rel=“u-syndication”…>tweet url… into it
Could the last part done in any way automatically?
Since M.B knows the tweet id after x-posting it would be nice if that could find it’s way back into the note so that Brid.gy can track comments.
This does seem like something that could be automated, although we would probably need to expose the tweet ID somewhere via the API. If there’s enough interest, we could also consider a preference to handle this automatically. (Or alternatively, a preference to always include the URL in the tweet, which Bridgy could then notice.)
I’m experimenting w/ Brid.gy in order to syndicate from my Jekyll blog to Micro.blog and Mastodon - and maybe, if I feel like it…Twitter.
It would be nice to be able to use some of M.b’s features in the site without having to switch wholesale. It’s good at making some parts easy, but for more control I can always fall back on Jekyll.
I do know M.b started w/ Jekyll for its template system and I considered moving to Hugo when that decision was made, but unfortunately was never able to replicate most of the functionality I wanted/needed there.
