What is Micro.blog?
Micro.blog is a platform that combines blog hosting with a social media-style timeline and community. It's a paid hosting service for personal blogs that makes it easy to publish short or long posts, essays, photos, podcasts, and more. Members share posts via a chronological timeline that is a safe space for conversations, free from advertising, trolling, and abuse.
How does cross-posting work on Micro.blog?
Micro.blog can automatically copy your blog posts to many popular services including Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, and more. You post to your blog first where you have control over your content, then Micro.blog sends a copy to other networks. There is also manual cross-posting support for X.
What makes Micro.blog's timeline different from other social networks?
Micro.blog's timeline is always chronological with no trends, ads, boosts, or extra clutter. It doesn't have like counts or follower counts, focusing instead on posts and encouraging quick replies. Private bookmarks instead of public likes let you reference posts later.
What plans does Micro.blog offer?
Micro.blog offers four plans: the base plan at $5/month with blog hosting and cross-posting; Premium at $10/month adding up to 5 blogs and email newsletters; Family at $15/month for team collaboration; and Studio at $20/month with video hosting up to 20 minutes and podcast recording.
When was Micro.blog founded and by whom?
Micro.blog was founded by Manton Reece in 2017 with a Kickstarter campaign supported by 3000 backers.
