Our @MastodonEngineering team update for the past ~4 weeks was posted - this time, welcoming our new team member, summarising changes to our devcontainer, more PRs merged for features due to land in 4.3, and some community shout-outs. 🎉 #MastodonAPI https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/trunk-tidbits-june-2024/
mastodonapi
Occasional reminder that I'm always looking for interesting things that folks are building on Mastodon #MastodonAPI - happy to include in our Trunk & Tidbits monthly updates if they are relevant. Let me know!
Take note that this new (server-side) grouped notifications is available for testing on production site (https://phanpy.social/) if your instance is running on 4.3 beta. It's opt-in via Settings → Server-side grouped notifications. https://mastodon.social/@MastodonEngineering/113035111777363807
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!
I don't know much about this mastodon api client yet, but it sure looks cute. Lots of fun, exaggerated animations.
New API filter action in Mastodon that fedi app developers will want to know about.
Filters can now include a new filter_action of “blur”. Media attachments in posts matching the criteria should then be blurred by the client app based on the FilterResult object attached.
Featured profiles snuck their way onto mastodon.social in a nightly build. Check out the last section of my Featured tab - only visible on Mastodon web (for now)!
Not many app developers use the Mastodon Sign Up API, but note if you do, there is a breaking change coming you need to be aware of - optional age verification.
Now I’m kinda curious which apps DO use this!
