Has anyone put together a curated list of #fediverse servers (preferably open source or at least with a public API) that:
- want to be found by the general public (I’m looking for a source of recommendations for a server picker in a client app)
- meet at least some reasonable minimum moderation/reliability standards?
I know #mastodon has joinmastodon.org/servers and pixelfed also has their own curated server list, but is there anything that isn’t software-specific?
Today, I learned that PyScript is a thing, and that you can use it to run Mastodon.py entirely in your browser and build anything from a small basic tool to an entire client, using Python, that runs in the browser!

I'm part of a moderation team on a mastodon server and I'm sooooo annoyed by the Moderation-Web-UI so that I decided to write a little native iOS-app for that in my freetime.
It's not finished yet and I'm not sure where it'll lead, but I still wanted to give you a peak. #mastodev #iosdev

Scheduled posts API on Mastodon seems a bit rough.
1. Post payload is a bit different than published posts (ScheduledStatus https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/ScheduledStatus/#example vs Status https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/Status/#example)
2. There's API to reschedule & delete but no edit https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/scheduled_statuses/
Looking back at the initial PR (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/9706): "The scheduled date must be at least 5 minutes into the future. At most, 300 toots can be scheduled at the same time. Only 50 toots can be scheduled for any given day."

Was looking at `api_versions` in Mastodon's `/api/v2/instance` endpoint as this would be sort of like "feature detection" for anything new, instead of the hacky UA version string detection 😩.
They are documented under specific features, e.g.: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/Filter/#filter_action but I was curious to see what's introduced for every version bump on a single page.
So I made one (in Notion, as screenshot here, for now), not sure if this would be useful for other devs 🤔 #MastoDev
