Brendan Jones<p>This is the functionality needed to give Mastodon lists Bluesky-feed-like functionality.</p><p>It's all realistic and achievable IMHO.</p><p><a href="https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/33098#issuecomment-2824333838" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i</span><span class="invisible">ssues/33098#issuecomment-2824333838</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/mastodev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodev</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a></p>
Davide Eynard (+mala)<p>Let’s say you have an HTTP server running locally that returns a custom Fediverse timeline… How would you make it available to fediverse clients?</p><p>First thing I have tried to build was a Firefox extension that redirects `/timelines` requests for a masto instance to the local server, but mastodon does not look happy about the different IP.</p><p>On the other side, taking an existing client (e.g. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://m.webtoo.ls/@elk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>elk</span></a></span>) and adding an extra timeline looks way easier, but rather ad-hoc.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FediverseDevs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FediverseDevs</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/mastodev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodev</span></a></p>
Admin Jerry<p>Riddle me this. How can a spammer start their account creation from /auth/confirmation? He does this every week. He never accesses /auth/sign_up. He always first shows up in the logs accessing /auth/confirmation.</p><p>I have his ASN blocked by the Cloudflare firewall from accessing /auth/sign_up. I see in the Cloudflare logs that he tried to access /auth/sign_up but got a 403 from Cloudflare. The request is nowhere in my logs. It was truly blocked by the proxy server.</p><p>But, then suddenly he's using /auth/confirmation with the same blocked ASN seconds later and creates the account. Today I added the same ASN restriction to /auth/confirmation to try to stop future sign-ups, but this is beside the point.</p><p>It's like he tries to go to sign_up, gets a 403, and then uses some alternative means to begin the signup process.</p><p>He's not getting in with an invitation code, either.</p><p>Can he be using an existing account in some way to get an access token for an API call of some type to begin registration?</p><p>How does he do this?</p><p><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/MastoAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastoAdmin</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/MastoDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastoDev</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Gargron" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Gargron</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.online/@ClearlyClaire" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>ClearlyClaire</span></a></span></p>
Paul Chambers🚧<p>Anyone notice that hashtags created from posts federated from bsky.brid.gy that include hashtags with punctuation point to a URL that still has them in it. </p><p>In this example, tag KilmarAbregoGarcia’s goes to URL <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/KilmarAbregoGarcia's" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">oldfriends.live/tags/KilmarAbr</span><span class="invisible">egoGarcia's</span></a> on my instance.

Chee Aun 🤔<p>Was looking at `api_versions` in Mastodon's `/api/v2/instance` endpoint as this would be sort of like "feature detection" for anything new, instead of the hacky UA version string detection 😩.</p><p>They are documented under specific features, e.g.: <a href="https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/Filter/#filter_action" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">docs.joinmastodon.org/entities</span><span class="invisible">/Filter/#filter_action</span></a> but I was curious to see what's introduced for every version bump on a single page.</p><p>So I made one (in Notion, as screenshot here, for now), not sure if this would be useful for other devs 🤔 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MastoDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastoDev</span></a></p>
Pachli<p>This **does not** save your account credentials or other sensitive data, only your preferences.</p><p>If you have multiple accounts on the same device this **does** expose the fact that those accounts are managed by the same person. If that is a concern you don't need to save the preferences to your device, you can save them to any cloud service (e.g., Google Drive) your account is connected to.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mastodev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodev</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/androiddev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>androiddev</span></a></p>

Jay 🆘<p>I think the answer is "No," but is there a Mastodon API for "posts that include this link" for trending links?

Two things:

1. Has anyone written a thread composer app for Mastodon? I need that. I don't write a lot of threads, but when I do I really miss old Twitter's thread composer.

2. I have to admit that I am very popular with the bots of Mastodon. It seems like a lot of my well hashtagged posts get immediate pings but they're always from robots. Is that happening to everybody?
