Joy Tiltonclearing out over two years of irelevant liked mastodon posts, of which I had almost 900 in my favorites buffer. #FastSM is actually letting me do this without it re-buffering on me all the time, unlike #Tweesecake.
@maerlynofmiria Yep, that's the one, #TweeseCake
Okay guys. Has #Tweesecake been abandoned? I'm kinda feeling like users of this mastodon client have been rather severely left out to dry.
Guess who's using TweeseCake with Windows 7! Just one more program to go, and then, I can officially return to using it as my daily system! This program isn't essential, but it would be nice to be able to use it. Regardless, I will definitely be going to sleep with a huge smile on my face now! I love the Kex program.

Evening mastofolks.
So I've just loaded up #Tweesecake, to find three mentions, each giving an identical urgent update about a family in danger, saying that a $50 can save the lives of this family...
Yet when I try to look at the account posting these updates, there's no user information to show.
Not sure, but thinking these might be false updates.

*If anyone can help me with this, I would sincerely appreciate it. I have no interest in discussing whether Windows 7 is supported or not. I know it's not, and I am choosing to use it. I have everything I need, except a Mastodon client, so right now, I am using 11. And no, I have no interest in Linux either.*
I normally use TweeseCake, but it doesn't work on Windows 7, and it's closed source, so there is no way of changing that. Apparently, there is a version of TWBlue that did, but I can't find it. I just tried a client called Fast SM, and it's wonderful. However, it doesn't work on 7 either. Judging by the Github page, it seems to be written in Python. I am not a programmer, but would it be possible to get modern TwBlue or Fast SM to work with Windows 7? Both of these are open source. If not, then does anyone have the old version of TWBlue?
Finally, it seems that, unlike TweeseCake, the others have some sort of retrieval limit. If, for example, I'm not on Mastodon for a day or two and have 400 notifications, TweeseCake shows all of them. But the others only show a certain number far below that. Why is this, and can it be changed?
As a side note, I tried Whalebird and it was an absolute disaster with NVDA.

Ok #Tweesecake guys, We don't have VO+Shift+M for menus to perform actions on toots and other things. Please add that in next update for #MacOS and better #accessibility use!
Yay! Now using #Tweesecake on #MacOS!
I finally fully solved the TweeseCake sound mystery, and quite unintentionally! The sound returned a few days ago, as I said then. But I had to go through the volume screen to do it. However, that isn't how I mistakenly muted it when I sat on my keyboard. It turns out that NVDA has a combination of keys, set by default in Input Gestures set as a mute shortcut. The combination is windows+shift+alt+ctrl+space. How my body managed to type that, I don't know, since I wouldn't even remember it if I had to do it! But I deleted it from the options, so it won't do it anymore. I also set a more reasonable key combination (alt+ctrl+m) for the same purpose, just in case I really did want to mute the sound in a program.
Felix SteindorffMaybe I've missed something, but is there another #Mastodon client for #Windows besides #Tweesecake that is reasonably accessible? Apart from web interfaces.
