  1. Altamira – delayed boosting

    Last week, Seth Larson published some ideas about being smart when "boosting", which is Mastodon's term for reblogging content and thus making it visible to your own followers. The original article can be found here, but my key takeaways are the following: Considering a single account, it is preferable for boosts performed by this account to be spread out over time. If they aren't, they will only happen when the account owner is currently active, and thus likely won't reach other users in other timezones. The boosts will also be clustered in everyone's timeline - and no one wants to see a dozen boosts by the same person in a row. Considering a single piece of content that gets boosted, it is again preferable if not all of its boosts happen at the same time but over the course of a day or two, so that it might reach a bigger audience, and reactions such as replies get spread out a bit as well. Seth's suggestion is to implement functionality in Mastodon clients to boost eventually instead of immediately - and I couldn't help picking up that idea for the app I'm experimenting with. […]

  2. I seems @bocops and I have found a new name for the current #BigBone project: It's "yuki", that's it. It's Japanese and means "snow". I like the name because it is short, easy to remember. Furthermore, our library originates from the #mastodon4j project, whose author is also japanese.

    So far I have not found any negative interpretation of this word.

  7. Also, thanks to a new #BigBone snapshot, it is now possible to temporarily filter a hashtag, which will remove all posts containing it from the home timeline for a week.

    This could be especially useful for event-style #hashtags that one might want to avoid while the event takes place, like the recent Eurovision Song Contest - or it could be a specific topic that a followed news account likes to post about.

  16. A new #BigBone snapshot was pushed this morning. There was an integer overflow issue reported by a #Mastodon4J user.

    Probably caused by some fake / spam accounts, but still, the library should be able to parse this data.

  21. I have just opened a new issue in #BigBone for an integer overflow that someone seems to be experiencing with #Mastodon4J. It seems to happen, when account information is parsed (follower count, status count, etc...).

    That's interesting. These fields are currently typed as Int, whereas Int has a max value of 2'147'483'647.

    Can anyone provide me a link to an account with such a high number of followers or accounts?
