#MastoDev #AndroidDev

The "group boosts" function definitely does not work.
The "ignore boosts" function also does not work.

Sick to death of seeing the same posts over and over and over, I have resorted to just muting people for three days. This definitely works, and removes the posts from my timeline.

What's the point of these "features" if they never do what they say they will?

#mastodev

Looks like there is movement on profile backfilling in Mastodon, one of the two PRs related to it has been merged:

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/34595

The other PR (which was in draft mode) has been reopened and is being worked on:

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/34597

#Mastodon #MastoDev #Fediverse

Mastodon could soon be getting the ability to backfill posts for profiles that an instance hasn't seen before. This will fix a major issue that has made the experience of using Mastodon confusing for new users especially on smaller instances and continues to be a major pain point for experienced users.

Hopefully this won't get delayed any longer than is needed because it's a huge limitation that doesn't need to exist.

Wish mastodev wouldn't count loaded items that are filtered out as being items displayed in the home feed. Common man... Sick of clicking "Load more" a kazilion times...

The EU tells TikTok to kill infinite scrolling

https://www.politico.eu/article/tiktok-meta-facebook-instagram-brussels-kill-infinite-scrolling/

I am ~~very much not an expert in EU law~~, and I suspect that different requirements will come into force for platforms of different sizes, but I still think that #MastoDev folks should get on with making limited scrolling (like "click to show more" every N posts) an available feature, maybe even a default. It compromises no ideal of value and further distinguishes fedi from the things that we *want* to distinguish fedi from.

I have a video file that when uploaded to Ten Forward results in a HTTP 422, and an error from Mastodon saying that a thumbnail cannot be generated.

The video vile is 18.9 MiB, 1m3s. MP4 container with the video format being

Format : AVC

and audio

Format: AAC LC

I cannot find any errors from ffmpeg related to this server side.

Anyone seen this before and know what is causing this issue?

[ I can provide the file if necessary. Also Ten Forward is running stock Mastodon. ]
