Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #twblue, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I just heard from the developer that it is not possible to make FastSM compatible with Windows 7. This leaves TWBlue, unless there is another client I'm missing. I know that TWBlue does have an older version that works with 7, so I'm guessing it's just a matter of updating certain things to give it the features of the latest version. Sadly, as I said in the past, TweeseCake is not open source, so that's not an option. As for why I don't do it myself, I am not a programmer.

  5. *If anyone can help me with this, I would sincerely appreciate it. I have no interest in discussing whether Windows 7 is supported or not. I know it's not, and I am choosing to use it. I have everything I need, except a Mastodon client, so right now, I am using 11. And no, I have no interest in Linux either.*
    I normally use TweeseCake, but it doesn't work on Windows 7, and it's closed source, so there is no way of changing that. Apparently, there is a version of TWBlue that did, but I can't find it. I just tried a client called Fast SM, and it's wonderful. However, it doesn't work on 7 either. Judging by the Github page, it seems to be written in Python. I am not a programmer, but would it be possible to get modern TwBlue or Fast SM to work with Windows 7? Both of these are open source. If not, then does anyone have the old version of TWBlue?

    Finally, it seems that, unlike TweeseCake, the others have some sort of retrieval limit. If, for example, I'm not on Mastodon for a day or two and have 400 notifications, TweeseCake shows all of them. But the others only show a certain number far below that. Why is this, and can it be changed?

    As a side note, I tried Whalebird and it was an absolute disaster with NVDA.

  19. Question about #TWBlue: Is it possible to manage follow requests? If not, is this something you'd be willing to add in a future update?

  20. I want to view my timeline without all of the nonsense that I worked so hard to filter out. TweeseCake does not respect my filters but TWBlue does. However, every time I try to start it, it says that it quit unexpectedly and it won't start. I then have to close it from the task manager. Despite appearing to be portable, it's not, and some information is stored on my machine. But I can't figure out where so that I can delete it and try to start the program again. Can anyone please help me or suggest a better accessible Windows client for Mastodon? I really hate this, since TweeseCake allows for editing of posts, but I don't want to see these things in my timeline.

  24. I am now on piefed.social as, of course, dandylover1. I just joined a few days ago and haven't really started using it, other than to unsubscribe from a huge list of instances? accounts? topics? that I was subscribed to without my knowledge, all because I said I liked a few things. It might be a good idea to give people a list of these so that we could choose for ourselves. Also, when reading comments, every time I hit the down arrow, NVDA says "comments tree view' even while reading a single comment! It gets very annoying very quickly, and I'm not sure how to stop it from occurring. Other than that, the site seems to be quite accessible. It seems, also, that I can subscribe to some of the same places with this account here on Mastodon, but that might be confusing, since I receive so many things in my timeline from other people and pages, or whatever they're called. There are too many names for the same thing. Anyway, does anyone know if PieFed works with TweeseCake or TWBlue?

  26. In #TWBlue, I don't think search is working properly. If I go to the application menu, find & click search, enter a term such as, "WWDC" without the quotes, the search is never undertaken. What am I missing?

  27. hmmm, still no way to add to, or remove from bookmarks in ? Whas-up-wid-dat?

  31. TWBlue respects my filters but TweeseCake doesn't. Why? I worked hard on them so that I wouldn't see this rubbish in my timeline! At first, I was just seeing old posts that were made prior to my inacting the filters, so I ignored it. But now, I saw some posts that showed up in my TweeseCake timeline but not the one in TWBlue. This is very frustrating. If TWBlue had editing capabilities, and less urgently, pinning/unpinning, and proper display of favourites, I would use it more often!

  33. *Update. Okay! Never mind my previous update! TweeseCake does not respect my filters. I just saw one of my flagged words in a new post!*
    *Update. It seems that I was wrong about TweeseCake not respecting my filters. When I examined them more closely, I found that the posts which contained the words that I filtered out were from prior to my doing so. So far, I haven't seen any new ones, thank goodness!*
    I finally got the new version of TWBlue to work, and I am very disappointed to find that it still! doesn't offer the ability to edit posts! It is clearly possible to do so, since TweeseCake can and Mastodon certainly can. Why is such an important feature not included here? It does, however, offer the ability to pin and unpin posts and to work with filters, which TweeseCake doesn't. It also seems that, although there is an option to view them, TweeseCake doesn't show favourites. That section is always blank, no matter how many posts I like. TWBlue shows them, though as with many of its other features, it only shows forty. Can't someone just create a client that actually contains all of the features of Mastodon? And before someone says "do it yourself", I am not a programmer. Both clients are excellent for most things. It just frustrates me that, if I really wanted to do everything via a client, I have to use two of them just to accomplish my goals. Fortunately, unlike Akkoma and especially Friendica, someplace.social really is accessible from the main site.
