@Alda Yah, I figured Gargron was testing the skylight branch when I couldn't find the new release on github. Please update us soon when it's officially released. Multi-column support is something a lot of people have asked for.
Wait, mastodon.social is on v1.4.2 but there's no official release of that version? No fair keeping the cool stuff to yourselves :pout:
@Maverynthia No, they agree on the timestamps up to ms precision, just not which frames go with them.
@Maverynthia You can filter the notifications column, or clear notifications.
Hmm, 50 tests successful, 3 wrong by one frame, of which 1 too similar to tell for sure by eye.
Thing is, ffplay and ffprobe agree that it's the correct frame, mpv says it's one frame early. So now I'm wondering why mpv and ffmpeg disagree on frame timestamps. Does ffmpeg duplicate one frame somewhere or does mpv drop one somewhere?
Meh. More testing tomorrow.
Still, it is very promising that I might finally be able to ditch mpv. It's useful as a video player, but not very suited for automated use.
@cyrinsong Only thing I know is she is some sort of dev and was living in Portland and looking for work 1½ month ago. I don't actually follow her, so no idea if her situation's changed. Just thought I'd ping her just in case.
Hmm, 20 out of 20 tests successful so far.
Mood: cautiously optimistic
@darius Hmm, but if I follow my bot from witches.town and it is tooting as "public", all of its toots will appear on the witches.town federated timeline. Which I guess folks over here wouldn't appreciate if it toots every 39min. on average.
Oh, found the toot that proposed that "unlisted with a chance of public" approach: https://mastodon.social/users/hYPotenuser/updates/1730449 Do you have ideas on how to tune that, @hYPotenuser?
@Maverynthia Is it that important to see your follower count at all times? 😕
Instead of a toot edit feature, maybe a proofreading feature that just pretends to toot so that you can realize you made a mistake without embarrassment.
:þ
@Maverynthia As for single column layout, it looks like the next version (v1.5) will have customizable columns. You could probably make it single column then.
@Maverynthia Re: auto scrolling, https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/1780 is about that. If you have a GitHub account you can add a 👍, ❤ or reply.
@Maverynthia By no autoscroll, do you mean no auto scroll anywhere, or auto scroll only when at the top of the timeline/column?
What do you mean by "a number for my followers"? You can see how many accounts follow you when you click on your username.
Although it might be useful to have a link to your profile among the links in the getting-started column.
There is a single column layout if your browser window is narrower than 1024px or so. That's more like a mobile layout than like birdsite's plain web interface though. That is what you mean by "single column layout", right?
I'll look around the issues listed on GitHub and comment if I find relevant ones.
@Maverynthia For username you have to use your email address on Mastodon. Kinda confusingly named.
@Maverynthia Which features are those? You could ask for them over on https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues
@Maverynthia On the other hand, it looks like Twitter.. :/
@TheKinrar Heya Kinrar. Thank you for running instances.mastodon.xyz ^_^
I was wondering, is the API documented somewhere? I'm trying to figure it out from https://github.com/TheKinrar/mastodon-instances, but JavaScript is kinda hard to read for me ^_^;
When you spend a day reimplementing and debugging some part of your software and then can't remember why it needed reimplemented it in the first place >_<
@darius Heya. Thanks for being a cool #botally person ^_^
I'm looking into porting my Twitter bot to Mastodon. I have a Lua→curl→Mastodon module mostly working, so it's time to look into actually using it. I was wondering if you know what the botally consensus is on making a Mastodon bot behave nicely yet also being easy to discover/attracting new followers. Public toots might spam the timelines, but unlisted toots won't be found unless people already know about the bot 😕
@decklin Heya ^_^
Not sure if you're still active on Mastodon, but I just wanted to say "Thank you ^_^" for making Tusk. It helped me get started making my own Mastodon module for Lua.
