Hi all, just a small one today. With our articles now being auto-posted to both Bluesky and Mastodon, I've made it so I can customize the hashtags when posting now too. So going forward they will have proper hashtags on all posts.

As much as I really like Bluesky, posting via the API is a nightmare. Check out the difference in what's needed to post via the API...

Mastodon: https://gitlab.com/liamdawe/gamingonlinux/-/blob/master/public_html/includes/mastodon_poster.php?ref_type=heads

(I'm aware the Mastodon poster says BLUESKY in code, it's just the same link and text)

Bluesky: https://gitlab.com/liamdawe/gamingonlinux/-/blob/master/public_html/includes/bluesky_poster.php?ref_type=heads

Surprising, but undeniably true.

I'm not surprised that Mastodon is easier to use. One of the is a community creation and the other is basically re-start of Twitter, so it has to be convoluted.
