Ivory by Tapbots

Tip: If you mute someone within our app, you can choose NOT to hide their posts completely so you still see when they post and can tap to read them when you want.

Sawyer Feb 23, 2023

@ivory Cool!

Minor bug though - Mute goes to “Unfilter" when reversing that action - intended or nah? Guessing you just missed replacing a string.

Ivory by Tapbots

@spangborn Hmm. Not sure I understand. Can you explain?

Sawyer Feb 23, 2023

@ivory Oh, I guess I was looking from the context menu. Confusing to me as to where this applies.

Seems like the language of Mute/Filter is inconsistently used?

Ivory by Tapbots

@spangborn We blame Mastodon for choosing to use both the term mute and filters. 🙃

Sawyer Feb 23, 2023

@ivory Haha, I wondered if that was part of it. I guess I’ll have to go hunt for some docs!

Sawyer Feb 23, 2023

@ivory But huge thanks for these new features, some really great quality of life stuff!

@ivory So what would that look like? When I mute someone I don't want to see any posts from that person/account?

Ivory by Tapbots

@w Like this. when you tap on it, the post gets revealed.

Niléane Feb 23, 2023

@ivory that’s awesome!
What does it look like in the timeline? Like a Content Warning?

Ivory by Tapbots

@nileane Like this. when you tap on it, the post gets revealed.

Sean C.Feb 23, 2023

@ivory this is a nifty option

@ivory I’m not seeing that option when I go to mute someone from their profile. It just turns on or off. Is it located somewhere else?

Ivory by Tapbots

@chase By default, "hide completely" should be off. But if you go to the Filters tab, you can customize them.

Steven Feldman Feb 23, 2023

@ivory terminology of filter and mute seems a bit confusing

Ivory by Tapbots

@stevenfeldman Yes. They are basically the same. Mastodon uses filter for keywords and mute for people. So we've tried to follow that.

@ivory what does this mean -- is this like a Twitterrific muffle?

Ivory by Tapbots

@noah Pretty much.

@ivory there doesn't seem to be a way to "collapse them back down" after you've tapped on their mute. Is that intentional?

Ivory by Tapbots

@noah Correct. It's a lot of extra work to do that. Something we might do later.

John Siracusa Feb 23, 2023

@ivory Kind of like Twitterrific’s Muffles feature. Love it! But there’s one more thing from Twitterrific that I wish you’d implement…

TheJesusFish Feb 23, 2023

@siracusa @ivory Bring back Siracusa Mode™

Andre Videla Feb 23, 2023

@me what was that?

TheJesusFish Feb 23, 2023

@Andrev It was a setting in Tapbot's app.net client that did the unified timeline that John Siracusa likes.

Andre Videla Feb 23, 2023

@me ohh I see thanks

Ivory by Tapbots

@siracusa @paul said NEVER. 🥺😅

Jason Petersen (he)Feb 23, 2023

@ivory @siracusa @paul this is why I have paid for Tweetbot for like 13 years or whatever and I am going on the record that I will stop if a “unified timeline” (some real George Lakoff shit here. Can we swap to “undifferentiated timeline”?) ships.

No I of course wouldn’t really but I do enjoy this drama.

John Siracusa Feb 23, 2023

@jason @ivory @paul It’d be an optional feature, off by default. You’d never even know it was there…

Ehler Feb 23, 2023

@siracusa @jason @ivory @paul it seems like a very cool feature for people who are cooler than I will ever be. I sympathize with how much you miss it because I can only imagine the difference it makes. And yet, can’t imagine it beats any of these.

John Siracusa Feb 23, 2023

@ehler No implied timescales!

Sawyer Feb 23, 2023

@ivory Yesss! I was hoping the badge that was on the Mac app would make it to iOS. Thank you!

Jay 🆘Feb 23, 2023

@ivory How did you manage the following hashtag badge? Last I heard the reason it’s in your timeline is not included in the fetched data. Is it just !== following && !== boost?

Ivory by Tapbots

@jsit Not quite sure what you mean?

Jay 🆘Feb 23, 2023

@ivory How does Ivory know that the reason a post is in my timeline is because I follow one of its hashtags? I didn’t think timeline data included that info, but instead was just a collection of posts.

Ivory by Tapbots

@jsit Oh. that's just some magic @paul did. 🙃

Jeff Feb 23, 2023

@ivory @jsit @paul It’s very subtle but great for when you have a “who is this and why are you on my timeline” moment.

Chris, and a spooky owl Feb 23, 2023

@ivory "Hide with a warning" is so welcome. Almost none of the third-party clients I've used support this, it's all-or-nothing.

Ivory by Tapbots

@cawhitworth It works for the web filters and ours now! Also works for people you mute in ours (which I believe the web mute doesn't have).

@ivory please, support languages and local emojis ;)

LeeRayl Feb 23, 2023

@ivory “- Followed Hashtags now have a badge when they appear in your Home Timeline.”

Thank you!

FlatFootFox Moved to Hachyderm Feb 23, 2023

@ivory Nice!

Since y’all are working on alt text, have you thought about adding an optional feature to alert users when they’re about to post a toot with an image that doesn’t have alt text?

Ivory by Tapbots

@FlatFootFox We will see what we can do. Trying not to spend time in the compose view because it needs a complete revamp anyways. But if there's something easy we can do for this, we can try.

FlatFootFox Moved to Hachyderm Feb 23, 2023

@ivory No rush! Thanks for the reply. I know there's a lot on your plate right now.

George Hammerton

@ivory Hide with a Warning is a fantastic quality of life improvement, thanks chaps! 👏

Si O'Donovan Feb 23, 2023

@ivory will you be doing an Android app?

Ivory by Tapbots

@siod No, unfortunately no one here has an android device or has experience developing for that platform.

pierre Feb 23, 2023

@ivory the single best mastodon app out there! Love this experience

Paul Hubbard Feb 23, 2023

@ivory How can I hide the new top search window?

Ivory by Tapbots

@pfhubbard It's a toggle. Tap the icon again. Just make sure you didn't accidentally leave on a filter.

Zav Feb 23, 2023

@ivory
Really happy to see the addition of the Badge to followed Hashtags now!!
Was already wondering whether that feature was reserved for Mac-only 😅

Simon Harper Feb 23, 2023

@ivory 👍🏼🙏🏼

David Collantes Feb 23, 2023

@ivory is having images, videos, and web pages previews cover the width of the post something planned—even if as an option?

Ivory by Tapbots

@david Not in the timeline.

@Reno lol 12min ago, unfortunately not with custom emojis though

@hashfastr yeah, idk when but they said it’s on the roadmap

@ivory As someone in a trilingual country, using a fourth language to write in: I hope specifying the language of a toot will be added to the roadmap as well… But loving the apps so far! ❤️

Ivory by Tapbots

@martijnk It will come. We plan to completely redesign the compose view.

Stefan です Feb 23, 2023

@ivory Awesome, I've been waiting for the first one! It does not seem to work for me in Trending though. 🤔

Brian Stucki Feb 23, 2023

@ivory Solid update. Thank you.

Steve Herman Feb 23, 2023

@ivory Just updated. Thanks for the notification here.
