RE: https://mastodon.social/@reiver/116460489571305159

I think Mastodon will strip image attachments from ActivityPub 'Question' objects.

That is too bad.

That means even if you create an 'Question' with 'Image' attachments elsewhere, you still won't see them in Mastodon (or in the Mastodon client-server API)

…

I guess the work-around is to post a 'Note' with an 'Image' attachment(s), and then reply to it with a 'Question'. That feels clunkier, but doable

Mastodon could soon be getting the ability to backfill posts for profiles that an instance hasn't seen before. This will fix a major issue that has made the experience of using Mastodon confusing for new users especially on smaller instances and continues to be a major pain point for experienced users.

Hopefully this won't get delayed any longer than is needed because it's a huge limitation that doesn't need to exist.

Follow this issue: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/34597

I'm wondering why #Mastodon #PixelFed do not use #IPFS .

Wondering how easy Mastodon's API is? 😁

Poprosiłem Copilota o zoptymalizowanie mojego Dockerfile, który służy do budowania aplikacji. Przed zmianami budował się do 2GB, po "optymalizacji" miał 2.1GB. I takie to z AI zabawy xD

Our monthly #TrunkAndTidbits engineering update is out!

In September we polished the quote post feature, improved many bits of the UI and worked on some deeper technical changes to unlock future features. Read more on our blog to see what the team has been working on 👀

@anjune

Since the last update, in the #Mastodon #webClient image #altText is not shown until you click on the image, but it is in the source code for screen readers. Here it's not in the source code, and being an audio file it doesn't pop-up in the browser to let you see the text.

My esteemed followers, you have posted a total of 375,809 statuses to the #fediverse. 22% of you have posted in the last 24h. You are a chatty bunch! ;-)

Check out my new #sideproject: *fedi-followers*. A privacy-friendly fediverse #followers explorer as #localonly #staticwebapp, decentrally hosted on the #ipfs. See who's actually following (and unfollowing) you over time and much more.

I've built a thing.

Sometimes my follower count seemingly fluctuates at random. To understand why, I dug into the #MastodonAPI and created "fedi-followers":

A privacy-friendly #fediverse #followers explorer as local-only static web app, decentrally hosted on the #ipfs. See who's actually following (and unfollowing) you over time and much more.

You know what is another thing I miss from #GooglePlus?
Being able to preview the snippet for links before posting, and the ability to select which of the page images to accompany the snippet. Especially if it would be combined with an optional alt text for the snippet media.
Yes, I know I could also just upload a screenshot or manually download and attach the relevant image, but this would feel a lot more streamlined.

@JPEGuin If you’re making all the bottom menu items customisable then I’d like all the menu items from the top to be in there.

For example; I use the local timeline a lot and would like to pin it to the main menu rather than have to use the dropdown at the top (awkward to reach with one hand) to switch to it.

Anyone have guidance for "Australian Online Safety Industry Codes (Class 1A and Class 1B)"?

I am not a lawyer, but I'm curious about the ramifications for indie web social media.

Any lawyers want to give some free input to free platforms?

Just out of curiosity, and I don't particularly want to do it to anything right now, but is there a way for me to #block replies to posts I make?

I don't know the dynamics, but on #threads, you can block your followers from seeing replies people make to your posts. In essence, you can #curate your replies.

Personally, I think this is a brilliant feature for dealing with trolls. And I don't believe we can do it here at #mastodon, but maybe I'm missing something.

@supernovae following up: here's the moderation stuff i was working on. shelving it to get back to Feditext. might be useful to others.

• https://github.com/VyrCossont/m1000 implements a webhook listener automod bot in Rust which automatically creates reports when posts or users match on configurable words, regexes, or link domains. should be able to handle another #thegx situation, or a small link-spam campaign. proof of concept, not quite prod-ready, but i'm already running it on my home instance.

• https://github.com/VyrCossont/mastodon/commit/df8be12f1190769aa530590163f9cbf56294dd52 removes the `if local?` check from Mastodon's `status.*` and `account.*` webhooks, allowing `m1000` to moderate remote posts and users.

• https://github.com/VyrCossont/mastodon/commit/528afe989e1aa1e1a1069e2f420c498e78fc9f08 adds a `report.updated` webhook to Mastodon, useful for integration with external ticketing systems.

• https://github.com/VyrCossont/mastodon/commit/0a869f0d31e6ecbf57d25451ab60b52bf35730d8 creates an API for Mastodon's audit log, which currently doesn't have one. this would be useful for admin apps.

Would really like to see images at full resolution, or even a full screen view when you click on them.
Edit to add: from the browser, ios is fine.

How extensive is #hashtag #search on #Mastodon? I've been reading about it but I know my searches are often missing things.

Is there a clear #explanation about how that works? Like which instances get hit and how far back it goes?

I'm also interested in #cultural views. What are the understood rules around hashtag use and what you do with hashtagged items. (I've seen evidence that hashtags ≠ sharable.)
