Hey @fullalt... thanks for popping in. Any idea why the images didn't pull through from my IG post? The post in question I was trying to share has multiple images... does AltYes perhaps not support multiple images?
You technically didn't share anything from instagram. I'm guessing, when you went to post, you forgot to hit the 'share page' button. When you don't tap that, it'll simply just post whatever you have written in the Title and Content boxes. I've done it too :P
Ah... thanks @enginewitty... just tried another... and it worked.
So AltYes doesn't actually share the content in the URL being shared, but rather just a link to the content (with a summary)?
hmmmm... I like that (and useful for so many other reasons)
... but is there a way to optionally NOT share a link to the original, but actually "cross-post" (i.e. repost or 'duplicate' the original images) from IG/Whatever, but allow editing of the original text?
To my knowledge, yes. I haven't personally tested it (and probably should) but we had that written in. You would need to know the URL of any image you intended on using, but you should be able to edit everything. Just be sure to tap save once you do.
As for share the original content, no it does not. A link and we allow people to write their own description/reason for sharing a specific thing. Kind of like a resteem with many more benefits LOL at least when sharing to Steem. If you shared your Steem post to say twitter, it will have different specs, like the character count.
Yeah... I noticed that... thanks \m/ ... but that really just edits the 'summary' displayed when linking to the original post.
I was looking/hoping for a Share2Steem replacement though. i.e. Share the media (images/video) from other platforms (IG/YouTube mostly) and then use the original text from that post as the default text in a new Steem post (which is then editable).
Thanks for responding though... I get where you guys are going with the project... and I like it (solves the duplicate content SEO penalty problem that other blog->Steem apps may have... might even start blogging on my own blog again now ;-))! ...
p.s. Adding "Share2Steem alternative" functionality to AltYes would be really useful too ;-)
We opted against it for the reason you said and also to steer away from plagiarism as one would have to be original in their description. And you're welcome :)
