Our monthly #TrunkAndTidbits engineering update is out!

In September we polished the quote post feature, improved many bits of the UI and worked on some deeper technical changes to unlock future features. Read more on our blog to see what the team has been working on 👀

#mastodev

There's a lot to say about the new #Mastodon version but the most impactful change for me so far is the new boost icon. It now visibly changes when pressed, while previously it would barely change colour/thickness, a difference often too subtle to notice on screens with low constrast/brightness.

We’re growing our product team!

Are you an #iOS Developer who wants to lead our official #Mastodon iOS #App?

This is a remote full-time position and requires an overlap with the CET timezone.

Ideally:

1. You are a senior iOS Developer comfortable with a mature codebase
2. Proficient in #Swift and #Apple Frameworks (UIKit, SwiftUI, Combine)
3. Prior experience with social media networks is a big plus!

Hello fedi. i am trying to solve the "fetch all replies" problem once and for all that makes the fedi feel a lot more desolate and with a lot more reply guys in it than it should be. this is take two, where before i had it triggered by a button, but now i think it should happen on the server-side whenever you expand a post. can anyone help me out figure out how to make this more efficient by only fetching posts that the server doesn't already have? i am not sure what the best strategy would be, and if anyone with experience doing efficient rails and SQL stuff could give me some pointers that would be gr8. the patch is actually extremely simple it just needs a few nice things to make it not DDoS everyone.

Fetch All Replies v2 - Service Edition by sneakers-the-rat · Pull Request #44 · NeuromatchAcademy/mastodon

Fix: #43 Opening this as a draft for now, discussion/description at #43 TODO: Rate limiting: only want to get some replies, but there isn't any pagination in the context endpoint. Need to figure ...

^GitHub

Next release of Mastodon will allow admins to post important announcements to their users, and yes, those are reactions

#mastodev

Maybe a naive #mastodev question, but are their pagination/cursoring parameters for the "Context" method?

I'm not seeing it in the documentation at docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/…

If a post has 40+ replies, will they *all* be returned? #development

Just noticed that the Mastodon Web UI is using the "translate" CSS class on Content Warnings? Bug, or just some hacky class re-use?

(I was trying to write a userscript to hide the CW section entirely when auto-expand is enabled)
