[snarfed] I started using https://nitter.net/ to convert Twitter lists to RSS feeds yesterday. Works well, and way higher quality than Zapier

[jacky] clever
#
[jacky] I'm curious how they're doing this
#
[jacky] probably a scraper
#
[jacky] ah > Uses Twitter's unofficial API
#
[snarfed] yup

[tantek] !tell [manton] is there a posting size/length limit for micro.blog notes? e.g. Twitter had 140 then 280, Mastodon has 500 char limit default, etc. I checked the help.micro.blog but didn't find anything about note posting limits (is the answer "There is no limit"?)
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

#
[tantek] I'm realizing that I no longer need to start my replies with @ the person I'm replying to.
#
[tantek] Didn’t even realize I'd accrued that habit from Twitter
#
[KevinMarks] Well, that does create a notification on slack, if that's what you want
#
[tantek] reply posts, to be clear
#
[tantek] For folks interested in IndieWeb and discovery, interesting and timely/recent blog post: https://fredrocha.net/2023/04/21/build-your-own-website-and-they-will-not-come/
#
[snarfed] sounds like a universal truth, not specific to the web
#
[tantek] the web (especially via search) sets different expectations
#
[snarfed] for discovery, maybe. for (amount of) attention, maybe not
