Ok I finally managed to sit down and think about this after I got over the jet lag and getting sick. I translated all the suggestions into GitHub issues to make sure that they aren’t lost. I think posting long tweets would make perfect sense and would let us remove the njump links completely which you mentioned as a problem in the second point. That being said I agree that right now I don’t think this is possible using the API? I feel like it should be so maybe there is a way but the docs for the new API aren’t great right now I feel.

[Nos X Connect] Use longform tweets once they are available · Issue #41 · planetary-social/nos-crossposting-service

We should be posting long form tweets instead of using ellipsis once it is possible to do so. Currently reportedly this isn't possible. https://nju...

Regarding the njump links: I like them because it helps find the original content but at the same time I agree that they look awkward and out of place. I can think of multiple approaches: - skip rendering njump links when notes aren’t cut off because they fit in one tweet - remove njump links completely even if a note is cut off - don’t post notes which are too long - post long notes as threads with multiple tweets - let people decide what to do on a per-feed basis which unfortunately complicates the website All of those solutions have downsides and I don’t know what the best one is.

The solutions include: dropping njump links and not posting notes if they need to be cut off dropping njump links even if notes are not posted in f...

Images can be posted directly to twitter but the problem is that that loses context around where that image was in the note. For example I often post links to content images and write in between them like I did in this note. This just doesn’t translate into the twitter format.

Basically I feel we are dealing with all the typical problems of crossposting from one platform to another :( If anyone has any suggestions regarding any of those problems please let me know.
