Unchecking the cross-posting options on a post is not working. Micro.blog is still cross-posting the post to Bluesky, Mastodon and Threads. It happens every time I do it.
Can you tell us more about the flow you’re using? Are you writing a new post, choosing “Show cross-posting”, unchecking a service, and then posting? Or are you saving a draft and editing it?
Assuming this is on the web. If it’s in one of the apps, let me know.
I’m using the Micro.publish from @otaviocc to post from Obsidian. The app has no cross-posting control. However, I can set the post as “public” or “draft”.
If I want to uncheck the cross-posting, I set it as draft, then I go to Micro.blog, open the post, uncheck all the cross-posting apps and post. This worked fine in the past, but it’s not working anymore. I have also tested unchecking, then saving the draft again and finally posting. That also didn’t work.
This is strange. When you uncheck the cross-posting options and publish the post, if you go back to edit the post, is cross-posting enabled again or do the checkboxes remain unchecked?
Sorry, I think I figured it out. We have some special support for client apps that don’t understand cross-posting, but when editing a post it was getting tripped up. I’ll have the fix ready by tomorrow.

I’m having this issue in the Mac desktop app. Everything gets cross-posted, even if I uncheck. If I go back after posting to edit the post, either in the app or on the web, cross-posting is checked again.
Will this be helped by the fix or is this a different issue?
That sounds like a different issue. I’m looking into it, thanks!
I also think showing the checkboxes for blog posts that have already been posted is confusing, so we’ll probably change that.
Thank you!
And agreed on the checkboxes 
I’m still having this issue, both in the Mac Desktop app and the Web interface. Disabling cross-posting has no effect most of the time.
Pushing this once again, this issue is still happening for me. Unchecking cross-posting doesn’t do anything. I gotta say, it’s a little frustrating how often problems are answered with a variation of “we’re looking into it”, and then nothing happens. I’m sure you have a lot to do, I understand when things take time, but sometimes it seems like issues just get forgotten about.
Thanks for bringing it up again, I thought we had this fixed already. I can’t reproduce this on the web but I can reproduce this in the Mac. Will get it fixed today!
Thank you!
I’ve made a few fixes related to this today. There is a new beta of the Mac app for anyone who wants to try it:
s3.amazonaws.com/micro.blog/mac/Micro.blog_3.4.6b1.zip
After a little more testing this week it will be released for everyone.

Did this disable cross posting in other situations? My cross posting went from successful to unsuccessful in the last 24-48 hours.
What app are you using to post? It’s possible there was an unattended side effect of the fix, but I didn’t notice it when testing. Will look more today.
I’m pretty sure all cross-posting stopped working at some point at night US time yesterday (at least I know that I threw out a bunch of posts around 11 EST that never cross posted).
Cross-posting is still working fine for me, so trying to narrow this down. If multiple people are seeing this, I’m sure you’re right that something broke.
In the logs, you can see the symptom of this when Micro.blog logs something like:
Feed: Found page ("Title here...") for cross-posting to:
With nothing at the end. Normally it would say “Bluesky”, etc. at the end.
Jason, for your blog I’m seeing the latest post did cross-post, but the two previous posts didn’t. Any difference in how you posted those?
Here’s a snip from my logs yesterday as I was trying to post a post meant for crossposting, following the same workflow that has been successful for months.
