Blogging via micro-blogging

Blogging and maintaining a separate social feed is difficult. My primary interest is to be able to do it all in one platform and also convert existing posts into blog posts if they need to be persisted as a "body of work".

Current state

Currently, I end up copying and pasting that into a blog post, but that's a bit of friction.

Desired state

The idea is that if you end up writing a series of posts and it becomes something that is more meaty and has some value for longevity it can be persisted by simply changing the post type to a blog, after the fact.

Rationale

it's cognitively easier to write a series of posts instead of sitting down to write a blog post.

    Currently converting an existing post to a blog post doesn't seem to be supported. Is that right @stefano or am I doing something wrong?

            @shom that was expected, as profile banners are usually cached for some minutes (so it hadn't been regenerated, yet). I'm checking the "upgrade" from a normal post to blog post.

    @stefano this is a low-impact issue but noting for sake of completeness.
    With markdown enabled the starting `#` is treated correctly as a header but it also tags the post with an empty tag: https://littleone.littlefedi.social/@shom/blog/tags/

    The threaded replies on the blog interface looks great. The built in blogging and commenting functionality is really nicely conceived, awesome work!

      @shom thanks for the feedback! Yes, I already noticed it on my posts. It's already fixed in the code, will deploy it after building it.
