Topic publications now support “text attachments” up to 10,000 letters

It was quickly. A week after monitoring a new feature to share a long text in the application of topics, Meta makes the experience official. Topic users will now be able to enroll text extracts that reach 10,000 letters to their posts in the Meta feature, which it says aims to support journalists and creators on the platform.

As detailed English Last weekThe feature is somewhat essential at the present time. The “text attachment” identification opens from the published composer, a simple text editor containing some formatting options. Once it is published on the interconnected indicators, the text attachments open either in the full screen display on the mobile phone or in a custom window on Threads.com. If the post contains a link, the text facility will also display a preview of the publication associated at the end of the text.

This is noticeable that Meta is trying to make joint links on topics More prominent In an attempt to give creators a boost on the platform. To date, there have been mixed results. While data shows that sharing with links grows in recent months, it sends topics Very little traffic To web sites in general.

In the blog post, the company says the feature was inspired by the user’s behavior because people are frequently involved in “clips of the longer content of books, articles, newsletters and podcast texts.” The company also suggests that the feature can be used by authors and journalists who want to share their published business.

Although the maximum letter of 10,000 means technically, the authors and journalists can publish large quantities of writing directly on topics, the text attachments lack many features that you expect from publishing tools. There are limited options for text format, for example, and you cannot include media or do a lot of other things to break up large parts of the text. (A Meta spokesman says that the highlight and other coordination capabilities in business.)

Text attachments also do not match the participation with Fediiverse, so followers will not be able to other Activitypub services to see them even if you are Choose To the participation in Farf. But many users are likely to find the best feature to share multi -part interconnection indicators, which may be difficult to follow and not always appear in one view in the application or web site.

Meta says the feature is still in its early days and that it plans to add more jobs to future text attachments, as well as more updates focusing on creators.
