In general I try not to swear so much these days, but...
... why the FUCK is this set to "Everyone" by default?
@festal @katzenberger @Gargron It should be possible to not allow #quotePosts at all, and it should be the default behaviour with allowing quote posts being #optIn.
It's what he promised. It's what he should deliver. And while he has a proven history of ignoring even the best supported change requests in the Mastodon Github, it should be the top issue until it is fixed.
woot, my emoji rendering system seems to be working okay! loaded it onto my dev server and thankfully i follow a lot of trans people who love lots of emoji in their profiles 
cannot WAIT to get to the picker tho. hiding custom emoji groups is what i dream of 
One annoying thing about the search function on Mastodon is it's occasional nature.
Currently I once again can't find stuff from:me or in:library more recent than last year. This is an issue that's popped up before.
"just go on github and create an issue"? No thanks. I don't like jumping through unnecessary and unaccessible* hoops. So this is grumbling into the void.

* I wrote what I wrote and you understand what it means.
After implementing partial support for Mastodon's FEP-044f quote post authorization in #Smithereen, I realized that this flow with sending a "*Request" activity and receiving a corresponding Accept{*Request} is nothing but an RPC mechanism.
So now Smithereen also uses TopicCreationRequest and TopicRenameRequest for discussion boards in groups, which are almost finished, btw.
one of these days i need to debug scroll smoothness on mobile web
Auch ganz cool:
Die Organisatoren bieten eine API an, mit der die Entwickler von Fediverse-Apps/Clients die Info zum Event in ihre UI einbinden können:

#Mastodon 4.4 also adjusts the #altText entry box to make both the text box and the display of the image you're describing smaller, putting them one on top of the other in the desktop site despite most computer screens being landscape.
Why? Change for the sake of change, and a deterioration of functionality many users rely on for #accessibility.
https://pan.rent has been down for the last ~36 hours. Probably, this happened because of an error during an upgrade to Mastodon Glitch 4.4.0. We are back now, running version 4.5.0-alpha (
Thanks to @victorvandort for dealing with this.
Even though Pan is a tiny volunteer-run instance, so many hours of downtime should never be happening. We are discussing about how to avoid such long outages in the future.

Also, how do I turn off the carousel that hides all of my pinned posts bar one?
When I pin posts it's because *I want people to see them*. Why the hell would I want almost all of them to be hidden?
Why was this feature rolled out by default instead of #optIn?

In #Mastodon 4.4 they've added the horrible popup window from #Bluesky when you try to click on a #hashtag.
If I wanted to do something weird with the hashtag, I'd right click it. Now I need to make an extra click every single time I just want to view the posts. It's one of the worst features of Bluesky, and they've added it into Mastodon.
It doesn't even do anything useful like tell you if you're following the hashtag.
Every time they update the Mastodon UI they make it worse.
1) Quote posts can be filtered https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/34786
@nyquildotorg #Mastodon and #ActivityPub needs a mechanism where domain names can be recycled. The fact that WordPress alone has no mechanism to allow a domain to exit the fediverse is reason enough. Sometimes servers get bricked and there is no way to go back and self-destruct.
Domains could be validated with a text record in the DNS by the owner of the domain name. If text record ActivityPubKill is true, then it should be trusted as so and defederated.
I'm not sure how this could be done, I don't know the ins and out. Maybe software packages could poll the DNS of failing federated servers and look for a universal or software specific kill tag or a file could be placed somewhere on a server that it looks for when a server fails, esp after 7 days.
Either way, a dns entry or a file on a physical server can be a trusted source as it takes elevated permission by someone in charge of a domain to usually do such a thing. #MastoDev #MastoAdmin
Preliminary #WIP on Phanpy for showing translated rules when reporting posts.
Show a Translate button if there's no matched language? 
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
#AltText display seems to be a little broken with the latest #Mastodon web client update, only showing (visibly) when an image is opened up. (On the original page, not as in "opened in new tab".)
It is still there as actual alttext, just not as tooltip or equivalent. But is still visible as a title attribute when opened up.
THIS is my daily routine to stay fit, hot, and funny.
Follow this and you can be like me, any questions???
