now by default #Fedicat limits the number of tag and mention buttons displayed, there is a … button to expand
fedicat
If you sent feedback via testflight for #fedicat three months ago and didn't hear back, it's because feedback was supposed to be turned off but somehow some snuck in, and I don't get notifications (which is why I turned testflight feedback off).
Anyway, thanks for the feedback, and I've logged those issues into codeberg (and fixed a few already, the Spanish localization fixes).
#fedicat is breaking on a site because of an are-you-a-human but I understand
whoa, #fedicat has 722 localization keys (but just two languages right now)
not sure how useful this is but in #fedicat you can view the notifications you received from a specific user
I lopped off five thousand lines of code last week but #fedicat is still growing fast - 35k lines in the fedicat package (which includes customized versions of tootsdk and html2markdown) and 25k lines in the UI. Still, the official mastodon app is over 100k.
just noticed a testflight bug report lying around from a few weeks ago about errors uploading to pixelfed.social, workaround in the latest #fedicat build, the problem is explained in this #impressia issue (they were on the ball and implemented a workaround in May)
#Fedicat now checks the instance nodeinfo for hints on what timelines are viewable and in this case publicly viewable when browsing instances
I started working on #fedicat two years(!) ago just to play around with making a UI that I want, and now I'm spending all my time on it because I'm fascinated by the creative diversity in #fediverse platforms

you can double tap or long press on gifs and videos in #Fedicat to bring up a full screen view where you can also pan and zoom
in #Fedicat if you accidentally post to the wrong account you can delete the post, switch accounts, and resume the post to repost it
I’m trimming the app settings in #Fedicat (largely to cut down on localization requirements) so some options are now not optional. Biggest change is I permanently turned on hiding of the boost and fave buttons if the post is missing alt text, but all operations are still available in the long press menu. in the attached example the reply button is also hidden because it’s a bot post
just fyi, I've been seeing testflight crash logs for #fedicat last couple of weeks but so far they're all on iOS 26

The instance translation does a nice job of translating the entire post (although #Fedicat has a bug where it doesn’t display translated polls). As a fallback, e.g. if the instance doesn’t have translation installed, you can always long press on the individual text to use apple translation.
