starrwulfe Hey!! I figured it out GWG!
#
starrwulfe The micropub is using content from the excerpt to fill in the syndication. If you don’t have anything in there you get just a bare link. If you have content in there, it gets cross posted.
#
GWG Actually, I checked it. The excerpt is always used if set. The problem is it isn't excerpting properly if not set.
#
GWG I looked at the logic earlier.
#
GWG I'm just waiting to go to New Jersey right now
#
starrwulfe I was toying around at letting an AI experiment make the excerpt and saw this happen just now.
#
starrwulfe Then it hit me— I stopped automatically making excerpts a few weeks ago and this started happening.
#
GWG That's why I didn't notice the error. It combines a few different factors.
#
GWG I'll get something out. Maybe in the hotel when I get there

GWG Did I fix the Bluesky problem?

#
[snarfed] I dunno, did you?
#
[snarfed] did you test?
#
[snarfed] https://bsky.app/profile/david.shanske.com/post/3knj6ohlzmd2l from https://david.shanske.com/2024/03/12/7605/ looks good to me
#
GWG The first one went horribly. I added stripping some tags
#
GWG It seems inline svg was an issue
#
[snarfed] you probably don't want any HTML tags at all, right? ie more than just strip a few?
#
GWG [snarfed]: I ran it through the default WordPress excerpt generator for now. Which defaults to 55 words. I need to figure out a better excerpt generation
#
GWG [snarfed]: Since you deal with a lot of varying length content... what logic if any do you use? Or just a straight character count?
#
[snarfed] I don't know that I generate excerpts in the same way you need to
#
[snarfed] when I have to ellipsize/truncate for silos with limited char counts, I just use their limits

GWG I will try to write something

#
GWG Okay. This should do it. https://david.shanske.com/2024/03/12/7607/]
#
GWG Version 4.4.19 seems to be a winner.
#
Loqi [preview] [David Shanske] After all this work I’m doing today to get Bluesky syndication working…I hope someone replies on Bluesky. https://david.shanske.com/2024/03/12/7607/

[snarfed] GWG++ nice!

#
GWG Custom excerpt function
#
[snarfed] sigh, the unlinked URL there is really awkward. PRs are welcome for https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/1661 / https://github.com/snarfed/granary/issues/675 !
#
Loqi [preview] [snarfed] #1661 Bluesky publish: support @-mentions, hashtags, links
#
GWG Calculates the maximum character count for the service, renders content the way wp_trim_excerpt does, then strips it, breaking at the word, less the length of the URL.
#
GWG If the URL is to be included.
