Hey @elk fans, we have a new release on https://elk.zone -- please try it out & enjoy! :)
mastodev
Now in #Pachli Current: viewing the "detailed" version of a post (the one you see after tapping on it) now shows -- next to the number of boosts and favourites -- the number of times the post has been quoted (if this is your post, Mastodon doesn't let you see this information for posts written by others).
Tapping that number will show you a timeline of those posts so you can see how you're being quoted, and, optionally, remove your quoted post from them.
# Quote posts in Pachli Current
#Pachli Current now supports #quoteposts .
There are a number of design decisions here that are up for discussion and I do expect things will change over the next month or so in response to feedback.
#Pachli Current now lets you set your account-level preference for who can quote your posts.
Open Account Preferences, and it's in the "Publishing" section, per the attached screenshot.
#quoteposts #androiddev #mastodev
#TIL "Mark media as sensitive" (separate option from CW but actually does same thing) is removed from upcoming Mastodon v4.3's composer 🤔 https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/29882
We are looking for feedback on our new grouped notifications API from Mastodon client developers.
All the details about this API are available at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/31618
We intend to mark this API as stable in our next 4.3 beta release, so if you are a client developer now is the time to have a look at it and tell us what you think!

Will observe the other apps, when they'll update the copy for post visibility options.
- Unlisted → Quiet Public
- Followers only → Followers
- Mentioned people only → Specific people
So far, I only see Mona using "Quiet Public" https://mastodon.social/@cheeaun/112071331585947439
Fediway brings algorithmic feeds to Mastodon.

(Found it on Reddit. Haven't tried it yet.)

Been fiddling with this (mock) for a while. Would this be easier to understand and make sense?
Context: this is for publishing posts.
#Smithereen 0.9 is out!
Photo albums are, of course, the headline feature of this release. In addition to that, there's the groups newsfeed and redesigned mobile profiles.
Also, Smithereen is now available on Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/grishkaa/smithereen
Scheduled posts API on Mastodon seems a bit rough.
1. Post payload is a bit different than published posts (ScheduledStatus https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/ScheduledStatus/#example vs Status https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/Status/#example)
2. There's API to reschedule & delete but no edit https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/scheduled_statuses/
Looking back at the initial PR (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/9706): "The scheduled date must be at least 5 minutes into the future. At most, 300 toots can be scheduled at the same time. Only 50 toots can be scheduled for any given day."
Has anyone put together a curated list of #fediverse servers (preferably open source or at least with a public API) that:
- want to be found by the general public (I’m looking for a source of recommendations for a server picker in a client app)
- meet at least some reasonable minimum moderation/reliability standards?
I know #mastodon has joinmastodon.org/servers and pixelfed also has their own curated server list, but is there anything that isn’t software-specific?
#Pachli 2.10.1 has been released. This fixes the issue that could cause Pachli to crash if you had ever signed in with multiple accounts, ensures "Show anyway" works on filtered posts in all timelines, and shows all available languages in Android's system settings.
Thanks to @tinsuke, @Russssty, @kallekn, @alkaf, Aindriú Mac Giolla Eoin, and @LukaszHorodecki.

🚀 Mastodon Alt-Text generator
Important improvements to the script! 📸
1️⃣ Replaced status and media_ids[] with a more robust update function.
2️⃣ Improved HTML tag handling with smart cleaning to preserve line breaks.
3️⃣ Added an infinite loop with a 60s delay to continuously analyze images in posts.
4️⃣ Enhanced error handling, with specific exceptions for redirects and other request issues.
For those who missed the project: https://github.com/matlfb/mastodon-alt-text-generator
Cool to see another @elk fork 👍

The JSON response of translated rules list in Mastodon v4.4 (`/api/v2/instance`) seems to imply that some rules might not be translated.
Judging from admin UI to translate rule, seems to make sense https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/34494
So, one rule is translated, the other might not. #EdgeCase
👀 3 takeaways from Mastodon v4.4's quote post implementation:
1) Quote posts can be filtered https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/34786
