Micro.blog is a microblogging and social networking service created by Manton Reece. It is the first large multi-user social media service to support the Webmention and Micropub standards published by the World Wide Web Consortium, and is part of the Fediverse, supporting ActivityPub. Micro.blog has features similar to Twitter or Instagram, and provides for posting status updates, articles, photos, short podcasts, and video. Micro.blog also supports long-form blogging. It was launched on April 24, 2017, after a Kickstarter campaign that reached its funding target within one day. The service was built using Jekyll, but later transitioned to Hugo. Users can post using hosted accounts or import RSS feeds from other self-hosted blogs to syndicate them into the network from other websites they run. Users can also import their posts from Twitter, WordPress, Tumblr, and the defunct microblogging service App.net. Some of the Kickstarter Campaign rewards involved access to a book on Indie Microblogging that Reece committed to writing. A full draft of this now exists (as of 2022-12-22) and is publicly available. More information...
