[jeremycherfas] Anyone successfully posting from non-hosted micro.blog to Known?

#
[chrisaldrich] jeremycherfas I'm curious why you'd want to do it in that direction? I've been posting from Known to micro.blog via RSS.
#
[chrisaldrich] Are you trying to recreate the same flow thei iOS app allows to both micro.blog and WordPress?

#
[jeremycherfas] chrisaldrich No good reason, but if it isn't even an option I am puzzled why it exists. It offers the opportunity to put in any URL that might have a micropub endpoint, but the on in Known isn't operational. I don't think. Who knows?
#
aaronpk oh do you mean just using the micro.blog iOS app to post to known?
#
[jeremycherfas] Yes, precisely that.
#
aaronpk ah, that isn't even POSSE because the app talks directly to Known. That's just using the micro.blog app as a Micropub client
#
aaronpk I've been posting to my site from the iOS app, so it should work with Known
#
[chrisaldrich] knowing manton's wordpress background, I suspect the iOS app is using WordPress API methods to post there rather than micropub.
#
aaronpk yes, it supports the wordpress API and also micropub
#
[chrisaldrich] I haven't been using the iOS app much as my daily device is android. Did it have an option to post to micro.blog and micropub to another primary site?
#
[chrisaldrich] I don't remember it having the option to do what you're talking about aaronpk...
#
aaronpk when you first go to make a new post, it asks where you want to post to. you can enter a hosted micro.blog username, a wordpress site, or a url that supports micropub
#
[chrisaldrich] Oh, I must have missed that third option!
#
[chrisaldrich] Or he added it later.
#
aaronpk pretty sure it was in the first beta
#
[chrisaldrich] maybe it wasn't given as an option to me as I've been exploring his self-hosted option and was logged in that way.
#
aaronpk that seems quite possible
#
[chrisaldrich] jeremycherfas did it show up as an option for you?
