Custom blog post urls

Sorry if this is addressed somewhere - I searched around and didn’t find anything.

Blog post urls through micro.blog are automatically generated, and seem to be based on the scheme of just using the first three words of the title. That results in some less-than-ideal urls. For instance, some recent posts:

  • “Ruby methods are colorless”
  • “Your Ruby programs are always multi-threaded: Part 2”
  • “Your Ruby programs are always multi-threaded: Part 1”

These result in:

These are pretty rough urls. The last two in particular can’t even be differentiated except by date. They’re pretty bad looking to share, or infer anything from the urls.

Is there a way to customize this? Or to get more words included by default?

Custom slugs are unsupported but you can add redirects for specific posts if you want.
