absolutely agreed. It is all connected with Bandwagon (which federates) and Mirlo etc.

BTW when The Indie Beat Radio came along, I made a GNOME extension for that. I should add a link to TIB TV to the extension, but I haven’t gotten around to that yet.

Here is a partial list.

… zathura seems interesting, it has support for plugins for different document types, but it seemed to open a PDF in secondary window (albeit on a desktop), whereas tdf allowed me to access the PDF inline in ghostty, which was great.

TIL about tdf. Thanks! it really does seem fast.

That may have been some time ago? The team has been larger than just Eugen for quite a while now. In terms of “won’t be compatible with the majority of AP implementations”, is there a specific PR that has been changed to make something incompatible? I’m not sure I understand what you are describing. I’d love to know where we can improve, here.

nope.

For the sake of refreshing outdated information here, Mastodon 4.4 does now show remote favourite and boost counts where available (see https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/07/mastodon-4-4-for-devs/) and also has an experimental feature to pull in remote replies. Obviously it will take some time for servers to update to the newer release, but we’re moving forward to improvements here!

We chose not to add an image for quote posts because you cannot create and post them in Mastodon yet, and the number of other Fediverse servers that implement the relevant FEP is limited, so it would be over promising what you’ll see in 4.4 - the full feature is set for 4.5.

The plan is to fully implement this by Mastodon 4.5 later in the year.

That is the plan, you can see more in our previous blog post.

wow you beat me to it!

I moved from Evernote to Joplin a number of years ago, and now self-host the Joplin server and use Joplin on all of my devices. Great app. I’m afraid I can’t help with the migration from that to something else, though!

Personally I use third party apps like Sill, Fediview and Murmel and Phanpy which all have versions of algorithmic timelines for catchup. Whether something of this kind of built in to Mastodon in future is still open for discussion, but I’m not aware of a plan to spend time on it in the next couple of releases at least.

The upcoming 4.4 release has a generator based on a template, which was this one. We will look into whether we need to put that feature on hold from the 4.4 release while we work through this, however, yes the idea is that there would be a template set of terms that any instance could customise and adopt.

Perhaps not, perhaps so, but we do have other folks offering support and we will do what we can to get to a better situation here.

Legal stuff is complicated and we’re not all, always, experts at everything. FWIW https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/114709820512537821

OK, you just wanted to be off-topic abusive, got it, thanks for calling yourself out.

No, we did not (nor did we use any other AI tool).
