I am currently doing nothing today to improve visibility of a post from any major platform via open graph. I just haven't had a reason to, since I mostly write here for fun, not to attract an audience.

What is Standard.site?

Bsky recently posted a new "shared lexicons for long-form publishing on AT Protocol." If you're not familiar with what that combination of words means (I sure wasn't!), what this means is there is a new standard for posting long form content on ATProto.

Or in more lamen terms, a way of describing something other than a block of content that must be 300 characters or less, like a skeet, or a bsky post (not sure if anyone uses the term skeet still).

The standard appears to have been created by blogging platforms leaflet, pctk and offprint, it's not an "official" standard but it doesn't need to be so long as it's popular, and right now it sure appears to be getting a lot of attention. That is because of the cool new button that bsky now supports when publishing content with the new set of lexicons.

Trying it out

This post is my test for Standard.site. I'm not going to go through the steps I'm following here, but I may update this post as I discover things, like how good or bad this looks with no open graph priors to help bsky out with rendering this site as a card.

If you're looking to implement Standard.site, you can follow instructions on their site. I was a bit unclear on what to do, so I'm following along here on Mat Marquis' post on the topic.
