stevedylan.dev stevedylan.dev When we update a document, the CID changes. We should probably update the Bluesky post's embed; though, maybe not? Currently, their AppView is seemingly idempotent. I've successfully updated a post before to fix a bug in a code snippet, and even though the replies remained link the reply count, view count, etc., reset (not that I care, but noticed it).
Thoughts? It's not like it's hard to do, but more a question of whether we should.
I was thinking about this more this morning and not sure it's a good idea, or that it's needed, really. In my case, publishContent wasn't set in my sequoia.json and apparently isn't true by default, as documented, if it wasn't set already. So I turned it on, and then a recent post was updated. How often would that happen?
When the Bluesky post CID changes, any stats are off and, for some reason on a currently unmonitized site, some people really care.
Asked at https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/discussions/4978#discussioncomment-17147589 if there's any value in updating the embed. If Bluesky doesn't process it - though I appreciate there are other AppViews out there - it may not be worth it.

If it's not too much lift I don't see a reason not to. Even if bsky doesn't re-index changes like that other clients may!
