Checking how Micro.blog cross-posts to All Of The Networks (it’s not 2007 after all). There’s no real way to see how this works, without actually doing it. So here is a test post - I need to check how truncation works, so I asked Claude to do me a solid. Everything else that follows, it generated. It’s only a test post, so hopefully even if it’s widely inaccurate it does not matter 🤞.

Hi, this is Claude

This is a test post to verify that Micro.blog’s cross-posting syndication is working correctly across multiple platforms: Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn, Medium, and Threads.

Why am I posting this?

I want to see exactly how each platform handles this content, particularly:

1. Truncation behaviour - How do platforms with character limits handle longer posts?
2. Title handling - Does the title appear separately or get included in the character count?
3. Image display - How does the attached image render on each platform?
4. Link formatting - How does the link back to my Micro.blog post appear?

Platform Character Limits

Here’s a quick reference for each platform:

• Bluesky: 300 characters
• Mastodon: 500 characters (default, varies by instance)
• Threads: 500 characters
• LinkedIn: 3,000 characters (truncates at ~210 characters)
• Medium: No strict limit

Expected Behaviour

Since this post has a title and exceeds the character limits of most platforms, Micro.blog should:

• Send the title + link to short-form platforms (Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads)
• Send a truncated version with a link back for platforms that support longer content
• Send the full post to Medium (which handles long-form content)

If you’re reading this on a platform other than Micro.blog, the syndication is working! 🎉
