    Everything in your main "Home" timeline on Mastodon is there for one of these reasons:-An account you follow posted it-An account you follow boosted it-The post contains a hashtag you follow-An account you follow replied to an account you also follow-An account you follow replied to itselfNothing else gets in your main feed, it's just these things.If hashtags are at the end of a post they are displayed in a smaller font below the post, which some people miss.#FediTips #Mastodon

    Today's deep dive into #activitypub#selfhosting a #pixelfed instance, I send a Follow request to a selfhosted #wordpress blog with AP plugin. The returned Accept Follow payload gets processed by InboxWorker where it just fizzles.I then send a Follow request to this account hosted on mastodon.social. That payload gets processed by InboxValidator instead, then on to ActivityHandler and down the FollowPipeline as expected.Only message difference is #mastodon adds a 'username' field.Bug?

    @julian @box464 There's actually already an Android app that allows all this: Raccoon for Friendica (which actually also works for Mastodon).Raccoon for Friendica is a rather unique app, one I'm very fond of, because it perfectly illustrates how the best ideas come from the "contamination" of different environments. Here's an article about Raccoon that should be updated, which I wrote a few weeks after the app's beta release (launched in late August 2024)Raccoon for Friendica was developed by @akesiseli after he had already developed an Android client for Lemmy (Raccoon for Lemmy).When he focused on Friendica, he faced the problem of how to translate Friendica's ability to display group conversations into an app (they're quite visible on Friendica's web interface, though they don't have the clearest interface possible like Lemmy's or forum platforms like NodeBB and Discourse). He ported the "topic view" feature already present in Lemmy's apps to Friendica!Since Raccoon is an app that also works with Mastodon, @akesiseli attempted to "force" Mastodon to have the same interface, and after a few attempts, he succeeded perfectly.Raccoon for Friendica still has a few imperfections (search isn't 100% functional, it still doesn't handle resharing with quoting, and other minor glitches, and feed capture is still a bit slow compared to Tusky and Fedilab), but despite being just over a year old, it's a decidedly mature app. Most importantly, it offers group viewing features that no other app offers. And—trust me!—group viewing isn't the only new feature Raccoon has brought to a social media client!I hope the app's development continues well, although I'm a little concerned: the developer is a bit disappointed that almost no one uses his app... But this is mostly due to the fact that the app has a name that appeals to Friendica users (who are very few) and that even the most established apps for Mastodon suffer from competition from an "official" app!

    Right, everyone, I spoke to @seengoals and the two account creation attempts on different friendly servers (https://gaza-verified.org/guide#servers/) was actually him.He hadn’t realised this was against the rules.I’ve now asked him if he does actually one to migrate to one of the two servers as it will help us to protect his account better in the future or if he wants to stay on mastodon.social.I will update both admins with his decision and we’ll sort it out.(He has to travel for Internet access and it isn’t safe so bear with us.)For the time being, his only verified account is @seengoals But it wasn’t the insulin scammer as we previously thought trying to impersonate him :)😮‍💨CC @trumpet @Admin
