Still puzzled by why some photo posts in Known go through to micro.blog with an image and others don’t. Almost all are PESOS from Instagram. I thought I had an explanation, but it doesn’t hold up.

@jeremycherfas I think* one of my PESOS OwnYourGram photo posts “failed” because the hashtag at Instagram was filtered from the description when it arrived at known; which leads to text either side of the picture. (* I may be misremembering)

@cn I might try some experimentation later, but I do hate to be that guy who clutters up the timeline with loads of Please ignores and Tests.

@cn That again raises the question of whether foibles In Known or m.b ought to determine the way one uses other sites. I'm peretty much on the fence about that, and would even consider editing the PESOSed version.

@jeremycherfas within 24 hours of it appearing on Known for micro.blog …
PESOS via OwnYourGram frequency is very much down to how often you post to Instagram

@jeremycherfas latest OYG PESOS POSSE image I move the hashtag to the title box

@cn Where was it before?

@jeremycherfas in the description box

@cn I mean, how did it get there? Instagram has only the one text field, so something -- OYG? Known? -- is moving tagged words out of Title and into Description.

@jeremycherfas I suspect OYG, not sure how I would see the micropub transaction.

@cn Yes, there are times when the magic is both invisible and happens too quickly.

@jeremycherfas would require capture of POST data…
173.230.155.197 - - [19/Jan/2018:15:05:11 +0000] "POST /micropub/endpoint HTTP/1.1" 201 5 "-" "-"
The docs imply only one field is passed, so Known might be “being helpful”?
, Jan 19 2018 on micro.blog
@cn It looks like OYG sends the whole caption and each hashtag within that as a separate Category. Known puts the first Category into the Title and all the Categories into the Description.

@jeremycherfas Now I have a new theory, which I think @cn alluded to. Anything with a hashtag in the description, which becomes the title in Known, is somehow interpreted as “not a photo” by micro.blog.
