Did I find a bug on Micro.blog? Somehow, Bluesky cross-posting survived a domain removal.
I’m sharing the following because I’m not sure if this is how it’s supposed to work or if there is a bug. I had two sites with two different domains, each one in a separate Micro.blog account connected to separate Bluesky accounts. To make things easier to explain, let’s call them site A and B.
After moving all the posts from A to B, I went to CloudFlare and redirected A’s domain name to B’s domain name, removed the domain name from A’s Micro.blog account, and downgraded that account to a free tier.
Everything was working fine, but every post I made on B was being cross-posted to A’s connected Bluesky account. At first I thought the CloudFlare redirect was interfering with it, but I realized that was unlikely, as the redirect was moving site traffic from A to B, which was the opposite direction of the problematic cross-posting.
Then today it clicked. Although I had removed the domain name from A and downgraded it to a free account, the Bluesky cross-posting was still set on that account. So, maybe, somehow the CloudFlare redirect is creating some sort of loop.
I just removed the cross-posting setting from A and will keep an eye on my next posts on B, starting with this one.
