Testing Autoblue and cross-posting

Written by

i just installed the autoblue.co plugin by @danielpost.com and am testing it on my geekblog, Haibane.info

The inline links should work, I am not sure if my user tagging will work however. Plus, I should be over the character limit, so let’s see how that is handled by the plugin. Will it break into threads? Or just link to the post at the blog?

This same post will also be cross-posted to the Fediverse using WordPress’ built in support for Masto.

Autoblue does allow an optional message to be added to the Bluesky post, as metadata – that optional message is “I am trying out Autoblue for Bluesky” – let’s see how that renders.

Finally, I want to test how replies to the post on Bluesky are handled – will they show up here on Haibane?

@danielpost.com - how do I get replies to the autopost on Bluesky to show up on the actual blog post on the blog? Is that supported or did I misunderstand the functionality?

  You didn't misunderstand! You can use the "Autoblue Comments" block to display them. If you add the block to your single post template, it'll automatically show the replies on all posts.

      I’ll look into adding a reply link! That’s the closest I could get I think.

    Is it possible to change the header from "Comments" to something else? it already says "join the conversation on Bluesky" with a link to the post, so the header is kind of redundant

      Currently only with some CSS, but I’m reworking the comments block to be a lot more flexible than it is now.

    brilliant! I had to upgrade my theme to a block compatible one, long overdue anyway. But it works beautifully - check out the post www.haibane.info/2025/01/04/t...

ok so looks like I misunderstood how the plugin works - it just posts a link to the post on Bluesy, which is of course very useful.
