Well then: Instant new Mastodon.py release, v2.2.1 🐍🦣

Not much has changed from version 2.2.0 (which added support for interacting with all 4.5.0 Mastodon API functionality), the only change is the docs now point to the new JOSS paper for citing, which is a thing a few people have asked for. So here it is:

https://joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21105/joss.08946

(not a *very* exciting read, mind you, but it does cite Mastodon gGmbH, Akkoma Gang, GoToSocial Contributors and grunfink, which is funny to me because I feel that it nicely covers the Spectrum of Fedi Software Development Models)

Worth mentioning: As part of this, I also updated the examples repo with some documentation of what those examples actually contain: https://github.com/halcy/MastodonpyExamples

That might be useful for a few people!

Of course, for specific functions, you can also always check the unit tests, they are pretty comprehensive.

Browsing Mastodon in a Instagram-like interface feels very different. I kinda like it. Gonna keep on working on this UI. 😊

Why do I get the #Mastodon notification sound shortly after posting a t00t, but no notification appears even if I refresh the page? It's infuriating to get notified about... nothing I can find, so I can't even try to turn it off. #Mastodev

Did you know @elk has a feature where we 'hide' the usernames you reply to for a cleaner & calmer UI?

The line connecting responses in a thread is enough to indicate that it is part of the same conversation. However, we understand that sometimes users will want to see usernames tagged. This is why the behavior only happens on the usernames at the beginning of the reply, and if you want to show the tagged usernames, you can: tag them after or within the body of the reply. #mastodev

the Masto familiar_followers endpoint could also be used as a mutuals count when set to your own profile...
