@KevinWorkman Have you tried https://github.com/andregasser/bigbone instead Mastodon4J? The latter seems to be no longer maintained.

@jitterted I hadn't heard of that, thanks for the link. Mastodon4j hasn't been updated in a while, but it still worked perfectly for everything I wanted to do. Is there some new functionality in the Mastodon API that's missing from Mastodon4j?

@KevinWorkman I don't think there's anything new yet @andregasser would know more. Just thought I'd mention it as an option going forward.

@jitterted @KevinWorkman Hi all! Thanks for mentioning our fork. So far, we have mostly been working on putting the existing code on an up-to-date basis, e.g. updating the build system, dependencies, and such. Also, we have fixed several bugs already that have been present in the code (some of them have also been reported in #Mastodon4J). Furthermore, a lot of code was restructured to simplify the API. For the coming releases, we plan to extend the Mastodon API coverage. https://github.com/andregasser/bigbone/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed

I came here to suggest #BigBone . glad it was already mentioned! I'm technically a contributor since I committed to mastodon4j back in the say. So happy to see development continue on it.
