Have you ever wondered what it is like consuming data from the mastodon.social local streaming (HTTP SSE) API‽

Here is a raw video.

Some times during the day it is faster than others.

#Fediverse #Mastodon #MastodonAPI #MastodonDev #MastodonStreaming

To any other #MastodonAdmin and #MastodonOwner who might need this info:

If you use `n` to manage your #NodeJS version, the default #Mastodon streaming #systemd config uses `/usr/bin/node`, which will be your system’s node package. Change that to `/usr/bin/env node` to use the one from n.

The file is “/etc/systemd/system/mastodon-streaming.service”.

Hope this helps. #mastodonserver #devops #mastodonstreaming #mastodonerror
