Is there anyone out there willing to accept payment for building a new feature in Mastodon?

In particular I want to enable server-side filtering of boosts where the boosted post is already available in the timeline (whether it has been viewed or not). From what I can guess, the feature just needs to check to see if the poster of the boosted post is being followed by the user and if so, suppress the boost.

If you're interested in creating a patch for this and preparing it for submission upstream (I'd handle pushing it forward but would apply it on my own server in the meantime), please get in touch.

@kevin does It have to be Mastodon, or would you be willing to switch to a service that provided the Mastodon API?

@raphael It's not strictly necessary, but if it was done in a different platform I'd have to migrate my self-hosted instance and that's a significant effort.

@kevin if you are running a single-user instance, then I'd guess the effort of migrating would be lower than the effort of getting a change like this merged to Mastodon.
