mastodon

Mostly to do with how posts are composed which was always cramped and weird in the past.

And no more mixing up normal posts with DMs.

Some nice improvements to Mastodon coming in 5.0

#Fedilab has an old entry called "Extra features", which was added long ago when #Mastodon forks came around with features such as reactions. This is something to rework: the app can detect what an instance supports and enable supported features automatically.

ALT

#Fedilab lets you fetch a remote conversation to retrieve all the messages your instance does not know about. This feature is limited by design, because the public context on the #Mastodon API is capped (40 ancestors and 60 descendants without authentication).

That is why the next Fedilab release will add a merge mode: the messages already known by your instance are merged with the remote ones. This way, the case where the feature worked against its own purpose can no longer happen.

Have you seen this news?

#Mastodon just got funding to add end to end encryption into their software.

So, some time next year, you’ll be able to send truly private messages to the vast majority of the #Fediverse

Im so excited about this.

Because it’s an open spec, this opens the doors for every Fediverse app to join the party.

Yesterday, this project was a proof of concept. Today, Mastodon has turned it into a stampede.

So I usually hate sending over bluesky links anywhere since I'm not a fan, but Rob Ricci highlights some important distinctions between #activitypub and #atproto

Fundamentally, activitypub is designed to be useful with a partial view of the network. (Narrowing down to #mastodon here) Likes are communicated, mentions are communicated, and so on.

Over at atproto land, you have no option but to write to your repo, and so you have no choice but to view the entire network to say, find replies and such (narrowing to #bluesky here). So the only way you can get your data is to read the network and filter it yourself, or have someone else do it for you, which doesn't solve the problem, only shift it.

special case code to accommodate the new #mastodon profile api

```swift
// need profile api to set mastodon profile alt text
if await supportsProfile {
let _: Account = try await client.patch(ProfileOp.update, mp: params.multipart)
// need to call verifyCredentials to get full account instead of just profile
return try await getAccount()
} else {
```

Hey everyone, hope the weather's as nice wherever you are as it is in NYC. I'm writing this post to pin it- just want to say that I somtimes use Masto to promote events & content. Mostly public philosophy, almost always free stuff. I'm fully independent & financially precarious- this is part of a necessary work hustle for me. I'm also very left-leaning: I don't like using Big Tech platforms, but if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to work at all. Thanks for understanding

#drogieFedi Szukam osoby chętnej do przejęcia tłumaczenia na język polski aplikacji Pachli, klienta Mastodona dla Androida.

Sam właściwie przestałem używać Pachli (przestawiłem się na PWA z Phanpy), więc i motywacja do dalszej pracy nad nim bardzo się mi zmniejszyła, tym bardziej, że i tak mam sporo pracy przy innych tłumaczeniach.

Techniczna strona przekładu jest dość prosta, bo odbywa się w wygodnym interfejsie Weblate¹, który opisałem na blogu².

Apka aktualnie jest spolszczona w 100%, więc cała praca to przekładanie raz na jakiś czas nowych ciągów, które się pojawiają w trakcie rozwoju.

Nowe wersje Pachli wychodzą zawsze pod koniec miesiąca, a trochę wcześniej można sprawdzić nowe teksty w wersji rozwojowej Pachli Current³, dostępnej w Google Play, co pozwala na poznanie kontekstu, w jakim występują.

Jeżeli ktoś się zdecyduje, to chętnie pomogę i odpowiem na pytania związane z tłumaczeniem.

“And now, inevitably, half of my #Bluesky timeline is like: oh, we need a service that’s resistant to this sort of shit, something that’s not beholden to capitalist pressure, something that’s queer-friendly…, quickly followed by but don’t say #Mastodon!
Sorry, I’m saying it. We want fucking Mastodon. It’s run by an actual non-profit foundation, none of this “public benefit corporation” bullshit. It’s not subject to creeping network-wide puritanism. Mastodon. Goddammit.”

Tomorrow, I am back to #Fedilab fixes and enhancements. There is currently a beta version with several fixes. I will also try to improve the speed. The local cache keeps growing without limits, and past a certain point it slows the app down instead of making it faster. I will also add missing features from #Mastodon 4.6 (media descriptions for profile picture and header).
