If you are on a @gotosocial instance and use an iPhone, what app are you using? I used to use Metatext but it seems development had stopped a few years ago. I think the maintainer was experiencing some health issues and had to back away for a while. I absolutely love the app but, recently, I started experiencing some issues. I keep trying different apps but they just don't do a great job of supporting GoToSocial. Or, at least, I can't get the apps to support GoToSocial.
Thanks for any ideas you might have.

we now have some GoToSocial docs about importing your archived posts in general: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/importing_posts/
most of the specifics are in the slurp docs, but if you write your own importer and think it might be of general interest to GTS users, please let us know.

ok, here you go, updated GTS search patches for 0.18.0rc1. notice how they're on my repo? these are completely unofficial. do not bug anyone but me about them.
improved hashtag search. status: upstreamable, mostly.
doesn't require # prefix to search hashtags
searches for matches anywhere in a hashtag: Mac now matches VintageMac as well as MacOS
includes hashtags when not specifically searching for accounts or statuses, like most Mastodon-compatibles
doesn't change existing tag sorting. popularity and/or recency might be more useful
offset paging for searches. status: not upstreamable yet.
more compatible: many clients can't do ID paging
allows paging hashtag search results: Mastodon API has no concept of IDs for hashtags, so ID paging can't work for those anyway
possible performance issues: see comments on why main doesn't have it already. personally, i haven't noticed and i run this instance on a tiny VPS
remove search restrictions. status: heretical.
searches any post on your instance (except other accounts' private/direct posts, and accounts that have you blocked)
includes public, unlisted, your own private and DM posts, and private and DM posts that are replies to you
expanded search is default: revert to standard GTS behavior by adding scope:classic or in:library operator to search query
definite performance issues: this means searching more posts! GTS does not use either PG full-text indexes/operators or SQLite full-text virtual tables, and this patch doesn't change that.
doesn't include alt text of media attachments, or polls, because main doesn't
i may add more patches to this list in the medium future as i add more functionality to my own instance, for example, date range operators (before:date, after:date), post property operators (has:image,has:poll, has:cw, is:sensitive, visibility:public), threading operators (to:user@instance.tld, is:reply, -is:reply), sort operators (sort:oldest, sort:newest, sort:favs) and maybe PG full-text indexing if i have a really good day (i really don't wanna figure out SQLite's weird shit! someone else do it!)
randos don't debate me about Fedi search. my clients can't set per-post interaction controls yet so i'll just block you.
Feditext beta users: today's version 1.7.2 build 130 adds support for push notifications from GoToSocial instances.
you will need to be running a development version of GTS 0.18 with this patch applied <https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/pull/3762>, or wait for the *next* release candidate (0.18.0rc1 doesn't have it) or the 0.18.0 release proper.
users of other instance servers don't need to update.
🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 198 (summer project edition) 🏖️
Hello Fedi friends,
I hope you've been having a nice week so far.
I've been in childcare mode, thus the silence. I've been thinking about something and I would love to get your advice.
#AskFedi: is there a way to export one's #GoToSocial archive of posts (but not replies to other users)? Like something with command lines that doesn't require tedious copy and paste operations?
I wanted to gather up all the posts about the first 6 months of my self-hosting journey, to neatly organize them on my website (either in multiple blog posts or pages) so that they could be more easily searchable. It's not really ideal to go on an infinite scroll quest in reverse chronological order to see the evolution of my self-hosting journey.
Like, I'm curious to see what I was up to in January but going back in time loading old posts takes forever. And I cannot really search for keywords.
I'd like to keep things organized and easily searchable. And implement a POSSE system going forward... publishing on my site first and then syndicating elsewhere.
It's my summer of POSSE inspired by @molly0xfff 🤗

If you have any ideas about how I can easily export all my #GtS posts, I'm all ears.
If not, I suppose I will start copying and pasting everything and do monthly installments of my self-hosting journey (aka "month 1" etc.). After all I have 1125 posts (sigh).
Anyways, I hope this finds you well and that you're keeping cool in this scorching heat (especially fellow Europeans).
have a lovely morning/afternoon/evening wherever you are ❤️
