Keep some posts local-only?

Hi all; using crossposting for a load of “imported” content is neat, but in some situations it would feel nice having the option to make some posts that just appear on the micro.blog / in the micro.blog timelines without being crossposted elsewhere. Is something like that possible?
Thanks and best,
Kristian

It’s possible, but not necessarily easy-peasy. :sweat_smile: What gets on the Micro.blog timeline and cross-posted elsewhere is decided by the list of feeds on your Edit Sources and Cross-posting page. So in your case, you could have two feeds, like:

:warning: Notice that those feeds are just made up by me to illustrate this example. They do not exist; you will have to create them in one way or another.

You could configure those two feeds so that all-posts-except-cross-posting-posts.xml is not cross-posted (only shows up on Micro.blog timeline) and only-cross-posting-posts.xml is cross-posted (shows up on the Micro.blog timeline and gets cross-posted).

It’s important that those two feeds contain no duplicate posts between them. If a post is present in both feeds, it will get duplicated on the Micro.blog timeline.

Also worth mentioning, even if it might not apply in your case, is that Micro.blog supports per-post cross-posting.
