[Feature Request] Microblogging support features

[symbolisch1234]

• Currently, each post needs a post title, you can not just upload a picture and leave it at that
• Then a setting "disable post title" would be nice, so you just write post content (i think the other way around doesn't work, as a post title can't include a link or an image)
• the option to disable Theme Settings > Basic Settings > Excerpt length and just show posts in full
• (very optional) a setting to restrict post length to a user-defined length
• (very optional) auto-detection of hashtags and converting them to publii-tags

I think that is mostly it. Thanks for your consideration.

That's true, but you can make it so your title doesn't appear in the page output. You just need to delete the {{title}} tag from your post.hbs or index, or wherever it is that you want to remove the title. You'll still need to provide a title in the post Editor, but it won't appear in your output.

Side note: Have you looked into Mastodon? It's made specifically for microblogging.

No worries! I'm curious: what are the problems?

[symbolisch1234]

for mastodon i need an html server with node.js and ruby and yarn and PostgreSQL installed.
for publii i need an html server.

that is the main problem. there are other, smaller ones.
