Quick question for fediverse developers on how to link to a fediverse profile page on a remote server.
I know there is some ongoing work, eg. https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-07d7-a-custom-url-scheme-and-web-based-protocol-handlers-for-linking-to-activitypub-resources/3588.

Which social media APIs do you use the most for development nowadays? (Not as a user, please see reply for the distinction.)

I've said it before, I'll say it again, but here I am saying it right now: Mastodon 4.2's new search is absofuckinglutely wonderful to have. Total game-changer.
I've previously spent hours scrolling through history trying to find specific toots. I can now find those in seconds, and just did (see: https://toot.cat/@dredmorbius/111162458078683845).
Thanks, @Gargron & #MastoDevs
