Paid vs free micro.blog

Hosting on Micro.blog
1

Hi guys! Hope you are well.

I have the following question. Searching on help.micro.blog it seems to be a repeating one. However I don’t quite understand it.

I am confused about the issue of

a) micro.blog/user vs.

b) user.micro.blog.

a is free and b is paid.

  1. The app for iOS or Android, is it for the first one? The second? Both?

  2. Last January 14 I made a post on my blog (from github.io) and in .micro.blog, which has among its feeds the blog mentioned above, the full post was seen. It was not restricted in number of characters, why does this happen?

Thank you very much!

  1. Both: you can use it to update your paid Micro.blog hosted blog (b) and use the free social network features (a) like following other people and have conversations. You can also use the app to post to blogs hosted elsewhere, like a Wordpress blog.

  2. Because the full post is less than 280 characters. The timeline display rules are described here.

Thanks Sod!

About 2, the post is about 380 characters:

https://felipe.micro.blog/2023/01/14/progreso.html

That’s why I don’t understand.

When I visit your timeline on Micro.blog that post is truncated as expected:

846×238 33.2 KB

Ok, perfect.

So:

  1. on felipe.micro.blog there is no limit on the number of characters?

  2. On micro.blog/felipe the text before the link is the one of the title? nexto a H1?

  1. Correct.
  2. Yes.
