I added my own Pixelfed feed (happilyretired23 on pxlmo.com) as a source for micro.blog. A few tiny niggles from the first post imported:
On the web timeline, only the caption came through. I would have expected the image to be included, similar to making an image post directly.
On my blog, an escaped character in the caption wasn’t properly handled when used as the post title.
On the blog, the photo caption was used for both the title and the caption. This seems excessive. Personally I’d opt for just not having a title, similar to native image posts from the web.
None of this is high priority, just reporting because as a software developer in a past life I just can’t help myself.
Good point. I dunno where the issue is, and I’ve got little interest at getting far enough back into the plumbing to learn about pixelfed or analyze its atom feed. Feed is at

My theory is that if micro.blog does what I consider the right thing with some posts, it ought to be able to do the right thing with all posts. But I spent long enough as a software developer to know that’s a pretty shaky theory.
