I believe Bluesky and Mastodon are both officially 'posts', but are skeets and toots colloquially.

That doesn’t actually work for someone without an account though. Instead of a picture of a cat, I get the message “Sign-in required” and a link to Learn More.

it's supposed to be open for anyone to see without an account per the people who run it, maybe there's a privacy setting or something? idk

here's the official post/skeet regarding being open to the public

ah yeah it looks like there is a privacy setting - i guess i should of verified.

quote:

Opt-Out Setting

All posts on Bluesky are public, but sometimes, added friction matters. That’s why we’re also including an opt-out setting, so if you don’t want your Bluesky profile to be easily publicly viewable, you can opt out by following these steps:

Update your Bluesky app to the latest version, 1.60, in the App or Play Stores.
Click Moderation in the menu on the left side.
Toggle on Logged-out visibility.

Repeating my question, in case it wasn’t seen.

Is there any way to increase the quote text size? Some threads are very quote heavy and that text is smaller than everything else and doesn’t seem to scale if I change my default text size.

I didn’t have this problem on my iPhone XR but I recently got an iPhone 13. Maybe there’s a setting on the iPhone somewhere?

The twitter replacement Bluesky is now viewable without an account, and posts are also embeddable. For example, sharing a bluesky skeet link in Discord is embedded.

Here is a random link to a skeet with a picture of a cat.

I think it would be better to wait for the feature to be added to the web forums otherwise it will make second-class citizens of browser goons...

I think it is set relative to the system text size, in case that’s helpful.

Apparently so. I guess my choices are to have huge text on every app or have small quote text on this app. :(

In some future update, if the quote text size could be set the same as the rest of the text I’d really appreciate it.

Yeah I tried to find a good way to do this once and I got stuck on how to do it without adding a separate size setting, but maybe a “Compact quotes [ ]” switch? I have some time off this week and might poke at the app to avoid burning out on Sandrock.

Also last night I had a vivid dream that I figured out how to fix the smilie keyboard but GitHub wouldn’t let me push the commit because of a copyright issue with the variable naming.

it's a good thought, but doesn't the issue already exist since x.com links embed in the app properly, but do not (or maybe it got fixed?) on the website.

was that fixed? i only app post but it was an issue for awhile.

Hi friends, is there a way to re-enable Imgur integration like with the Android app?

Sorry if this is a repeat question but I couldn’t find the answer in the OP or the last few pages.

Not without the devs adding it back in.

A this point it should probably be re-enabled because the great imgur deletion apocalypse didn't really materialize nor is Jeff doing much of anything on the image hosting front (or much of anything else at all really, but I digress) and it's a feature that's really useful.

Yeah, I’ve been very inactive the past few months on my favorite thread because it’s no longer fun to sit down during 5 minute breaks to write a post and share images. The workflow is not seamless anymore.

the issue is there used to be a one-step solution to uploading images and now there’s a several-steps solution

The devs were too eager in removing the feature and this supposedly fantastic solution of the shortcut is a kludge and clunky.

The one-step former solution was plagued by intermittent errors anyway (maybe quota-related?), so a lot of us have been on the shortcut even before The Imgur Crisis.

There are imgur api limits that would get hit frequently when it was enabled. It sucks that we don’t have a good solution yet.

It's this. Imgur uploads worked maybe 10% of the time for me so I just never bothered.

you will need the imgur app installed, and preferably logged into an account to prevent theoretical purge
