Is there anyone out there willing to accept payment for building a new feature in Mastodon?
In particular I want to enable server-side filtering of boosts where the boosted post is already available in the timeline (whether it has been viewed or not). From what I can guess, the feature just needs to check to see if the poster of the boosted post is being followed by the user and if so, suppress the boost.
If you're interested in creating a patch for this and preparing it for submission upstream (I'd handle pushing it forward but would apply it on my own server in the meantime), please get in touch.

Thank you to the administrator of veganism.social for increasing the character limit on post ( toot ) to 10,000 characters.
Nobody invites people to a party and then makes it a rule to not talk too much.
The "social" in "social media".
The default character limit on Mastodon is too short.

Today ( actually yesterday ) I learned that there is software that does what Mastodon does, but has more features.
It is called "CalKey" which is a fork of "MissKey". It is similar to Mastodon, but with more features.
Mastodon, MissKey, and CalKey all run on ActivityPub, the protocol that makes federation possible.
All 3 interoperate. For example, someone I talked to using Mastodon told me about CalKey.
Same content, just different ways of getting there. Like using a different car to drive on the same roads, getting the same content.
Supposedly ( I haven't tried it ), CalKey has an easier and more advanced migration tool. Something to think about when the next Mastodon server ceases to exist or you don't care for mastodon.social and other servers embracing Threads.

>move instance
The tools to do that aren't here.
The best you can do is an incomplete process that leaves portions of your account behind and a complicated process you have to do manually.

If I post on Facebook I don't want, I don't expect, my post to appear on Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. If I post on Mastodon I don't want my content to go to Kbin, Lemmy, Threads (Meta's decentralized app), or a site/app I never heard of. I don't want my content going someplace that I did not *choose* as a destination.
I've gotten a number of federation fan boys lecturing me that is what the decentralization is all about.
Decentralization has been sold as a protective move against corporate abuse. Preventing another Elon Musk and protecting people from anti-user pro-profit policies.
Mastodon and open source are supposed to be about respecting users.
I think it should be a user's choice where her/his content ends up. I think it should be in their power to make that choice easily without having to rely on the good will of an Instance Admin.
I think each Toot & Reply should have the following visibility options.
1. Public - Everywhere
2. Private ( only @ tagged people )
3. Mastodon ( everywhere on Mastodon, only )
4. Local ( only on the local server of the user )Plus a Preference for the user to pick his/her default visibility level.

Warning!
Toots/Posts you make on Mastodon can appear on websites and in apps you never heard of ( example, Kbin, other federated discussion forums ).
Before you Toot/Publish click on the globe icon beneath the text field for visibility options for your post.
When you "reply" to someone there will be a "reply only to mentioned users" option.
