Adding:
loomly.com looks like it added bluesky
New to me: typefully.com

Reminder to self because these haven't been a high priority...
plus
vanity.blue
blueskymeter.com (though I think I've had this one bookmarked for a long time?)

Screen shot of video upload of tall grass video with an error message that says "Bluesky videos cannot be longer than 3 minutes or have a size larger than 50MB."

Publer for the same video now... I need to test it with mp4 instead of mov like I said I would before. And check my file size since these tools might not be doing any compression.

Test video from Postpone

Dangit - we are still rather pixelated there.

Testing an upload of tall grass again to see what happens with the compression. And hopefully this will look less pixelated and is what "fixed video quality on the web" meant. 😎

Uploading via web browser and not iphone app.

Screen shot that shows my hilarybaumann.com account trying to type something on bluesky about having broken someone's app except I ended up with rate limit exceeded error when trying to post.

I ended up with rate limit exceeded for the first time in awhile. I probably should have tested with this account instead AND I clearly need an alt account or two for me as a person.

Described in post

Finding it interesting that using different tools gets you different shaped video posts of the same content.

One platform renders as a square, another as a landscape oriented rectangle when in fact the file (and when opened full screen) is portrait oriented rectangle.

I'll continue to poke at the video tomorrow with more advanced tools. And also retry some of the SMM tools. Wondering if a few may have issues with .mov vs .mp4.

My normal test file is an mp4.

One more test for tonight Statusbrew not compressed on the computer

Tall grass video from Postflow

Tall grass video via Publer 1080p version because of the 50mb limit

Tall grass video via Postpone.app not compressed on the computer

Quicktime Export 480p

Quicktime Export 720p

Quicktime export 1080p

Same document no compression uploaded via computer:

This was uploaded from the iphone - going to test this same file a few ways. Via computer, a few SMM tools and also some additional resolutions to see if compressing on the computer first helps it at all.

Hats collage - alt text works in the mobile version but can’t seem to find it in the iPhone app for this one

Hat alt text test - mobile vs app

Looking for the alt text … got language … got content warning … I have to ask the dev ... It’s not actually an adult photo… not even bourbon this time.

New (new to me) SMM platforms I'll test soon:
posthyve.com
theblue.social
swat.io/en/

Hilarious side effect of my tests is that I forgot some of my settings for using replies to posts with the links on bluesky are used as comments on my site (at least I have my site set to not auto-approve those comments.)

...
and
'
are the unicode problems here

I'm not sure why this happened

One more time … without a link that causes an embed... Let's see if we get images this time.

New test post for https://echofeed.app/

This is some text to see what posts. I should probably write a fair amount of copy here. Maybe an extra image?
