Rob RicciWho needs Google Scholar when you have https://mastodon.academy ?
Marcos Dione@ricci feel the Masstodon effect!
Asta Halkjær From@ricci that's cool!
Dan Ports@ricci this is outstanding
@dan just wait for the crimes DLC
Lindsey Kuper
Rob@dan @lindsey Finally fixed it so that links like this work: https://mastodon.academy/by/@lindsey@recurse.social
Matt@ricci love this
@infinimatt FUN MATT FACT: I used your account to test the 'nobobot' code
Abishek Muthian@ricci Nice! Just what I needed to bring my academic wife to Mastodon.
Alexander Winkler@ricci could you elaborate on what the f and b indices mean?
chris martens@chrisamaphone @ricci so x posts have been faved/boosted x times? If I have a f index of 10, 10 posts have been faved 10 times; a b index of 20 means, 20 posts have been boosted 20 times, right?
@awinkler @chrisamaphone yes, it's meant to poke fun at the h-index
David Weir@chrisamaphone Not a fan of metrics even outside of academia, but this is probably the only legitimate use for the h-index.
@ricci amazing work!
@chrisamaphone it's amazing enough that it now contributes to my b-index!
@ricci w-index: how many times you’ve deleted a post (aka wiped it from your feed with windex)
@ricci truly inspiring work
@simrob yes, "inspired" is one of the "in" words that people use to describe me
Tom Stafford@ricci fantastic, great work
Celia Valdeolmillos@ricci had no idea this existed, looks good!
Tanguy Fardet@ricci this is absolutely ridiculous, I love it!
Zan Preston@ricci phenomenal
elena 🌃@ricci what is it?
Björn Gohla@ricci very nice.
But the Googlesque theme somehow makes me uncomfortable.
@6d03 You might like the site I forked it from better, then: https://topmastodonposts.patrikcsak.com
Angus McIntyre@ricci Academics from prominent British universities who have a presence in the Fediverse are known as Masto Dons.
Maxi 12x 💉@ricci This is like Favstar?!
Dimitri Coelho Mollo@ricci this is great!
"Stand on the shoulders of pachyderms" :'D

drmorr@ricci wow this is really cool
dynamic_hubzillaInteresting. Doesn't seem to work for my Hubzilla or Friendica accounts, unfortunately.
@dynamic Yeah, it very specifically uses the Mastodon APIs; would need to be re-done to support other fedi software, unfortunately
Tatjana Scheffler@ricci that is SO cool, thank you! 🤩
Rob Landley@ricci I clicked on the link and got "500 internal server error".
@landley uh that would be because I'm live-editing the nginx config file right now :) try again
James 🦉 #FBPE 🇪🇺@ricci "Stand on the shoulders of pachyderms" 🤣
nb@ricci
Nice. Any plans to make this work with Fediverse software other than Mastodon?

ℵ₀ 🏳️⚧️🏴☠️@ricci oh my gods I'm fucking wheezing. This is amazing 😆
@null_aleph oh no, get some air!!
Saagar Jha@ricci So this thing knows who I am but not where my posts are how do I (help) fix this
sounds like a skill issue to me, get good n00b
okay, okay.
I don't know how things are supposed to work when you are hosting a masto instance (is yours masto? or something else?) on the same domain name as another website.
The search finds you because it's using the mastodon dot social search API, but then when it tries to hit /api/v1/ on saagarja dot com, it's getting 404s; code is here:
@ricci Ah mine is actually a Pleroma instance I assume it has a different search endpoint
@ricci @shadowfacts is my go-to ActivityPub expert he probably knows what you’re supposed to do here
Ralph Waldo Pickle Chips@saagar @ricci the search endpoint isn’t the problem, you need for resolve the handle using webfinger to find where the instance actually is
if you want to work with software that doesn’t implement the mastodon api (pleroma does, misskey/etc. don’t), you need to use the activitypub outbox endpoint to fetch the posts
