New update:

• Use first blog when writing a post if default is not found
• Fix page breaking when no author avatar found
• Better message when “user not found” returned by Micro.blog

Still working on:

• Auth cookie expiring/being removed in some browsers
• Intermittent cross-posting issues

Let’s take a look at the timeline on Lillihub

First, if you used Lillihub before this update you might remember it split out posts and conversations and now it combines them. If you liked them split apart, do not fear, I’ll show you at the bottom of the post how to set it back.

Favorites

When you log in you have a couple of preset favorites at the top of the page. Consider these some quick links to interesting people/posts/or tagmojis on Micro.blog.

Each user page, or post (when you use the “View Post” button), or tagmoji page includes a star on the right hand side. Simply click this star to toggle if it is a favorite or not.

Post Actions

Each post has three vertical dots that opens the action menu. With this menu you can add the post to your bookmarks, start a new post that quotes the current post, complete with u-in-reply-to for webmention support, and the lastly you can view just that post.

New Post or Comment Notification Dot

Another feature of Lillihub is that it keeps track of when you last visited the timeline (only through Lillihub at this time, views through Micro.blog or other third party apps do not synchronize) and shows a small dot indicator.

Splitting out posts and conversations

Lillihub has a setting where it will split out the posts from conversations that start with an @mention. Enabling this setting will add an additional icon to the sidebar (bottom on mobile screens).

You can go to “Settings” and then pick “Show following posts only” under the “Combine posts and conversations on the homepage” section.

I use this setting whenever I find my timeline feed overwhelming.

This is the first in a series of posts that will show you around 🐸 Lillihub.

The title of the page jumps you back to the top. The right side top menu, in order, lets you create a new post, manage your blog, and access app settings.

The sidebar (or bottom on mobile) has the M.B functionality.
