Shortcut: Open Mastodon Posts on Micro.blog

  • I’m spending my time today to integrate Micro.blog into my workflow.

    • I changed the sidebar to let people quickly find me on Micro.blog (and Mastodon).

  • I also used Micro.blog to reply Mastodon posts a couple of times before.

    • I follow people using RSS on Mastodon.

    • I don’t have a Mastodon account, and don’t plan to create one.

    • Replying to their posts from my RSS reader sucks, since I have to search for them on Micro.blog, type their username, find the post, then I can press the Reply button.

  • There should be a better way to find Mastodon posts on Micro.blog.

    • Replying to a specific Mastodon post – External sites – Micro.blog Help Center

  • I created a shortcut which seems to work most of the time.

    • Here’s a demo video of how you can use it.

    • Download the shortcut

    @pimoore It just doesn’t work on all toots. I assume Micro.blog has to cache them before the shortcut can find it.

    Maybe following the user would help?

    @zsbenke That’s cool! I’ll test this. Maybe we can pull the post in if it’s not in Micro.blog already.

    @manton Nothing fancy, it’s just fetches the posts endpoint JSON and finds the Micro.blog post id via the url. If nothing was found, it just falls back to the user profile URL.

    Although native integration would be better to find the POSSEd toot here.
