Competing against #Pixelfed was not enough as @threads now seeks to dominate the podcast arena.

👉🏾 #Threads Launches New Feature to Attract Podcast Fans https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/threads-launches-new-feature-to-attract-podcast-fans/501240

This is a good sign for podcasting #Fediverse apps like @Castopod, #WordPress (as well as @wordpressdotcom), @ghost, #MicroDotBlog, @peertube, etcetera, as it means more people are interested in listening to & creating podcasts.

I think professional podcasters will opt to use their own sites instead of relying on #Meta.

Meta’s Threads Launches New Feature to Lure Podcasters and Their Fans

The social network wants to compete in the space with Reddit and Substack.

New on my site: a nostr relay for myself. whilst I don’t use it much, it’s cool to have my own personal backup of posts on an “experimental” protocol… and it’s super lightweight. and migrating my #microdotblog posts from j4ck.xyz → posts.j4ck.xyz!

I am increasingly using #Microdotblog to publish out across Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads and other places. And using #surfsocial to browse content from the same, in one UX – plus blogs, plus podcasts, plus RSS. Open Social Web FTW! about.surf.social

There are still things that need tweaking, but for now, I celebrate a successful move from Big Tech (Google & Blogger) over to the IndieWeb (Micro.blog)!

And with a proper domain name to boot: https://prompted.ink/2025/05/14/it-lives-or-to-quote.html

Special thanks go to @NickBohle for his advice on downloading WordPress Studio! It made the migration easy and seamless! 😊

With a fresh vial of ink...

It Lives! …Or to quote the opening tagline of LoadingReadyRun’s variety show, “It’s live, so something’s gonna happen!” Welcome to the new home of Prompted Ink! The migration was more successful than I thought it was going to be since most of the photos made it over and the embeds (for the most part) still work. The embedded tweets show up as quotations though, but considering where that site went, it’s for the best (not to mention that it makes my job at de-Twittering the blog much easier).

@manton - Is supporting App Passwords on the roadmap for #Microdotblog for your BlueSky cross-posting support?
Achievement of the weekend was refining my rss feed to show micro posts as titleless posts in the micro. blog timeline. Had it working last night, but fully rebuilt it today as I broke something with my final tweaks last night. #indieweb #microdotblog

Question for the Fediverse: Is there a way (tool, app, etc.) to convert a Blogger .xml file into a Wordpress .wxr *without* having to create a separate WP blog?

I want import my blog (from the Prompted Ink Blogger site) over to my new site* on micro.blog without going through extra hoops (if possible).

Thanks in advance!
