Hmm, doesn’t look like my personal instance is entirely working (seeing log output on follow requests, etc., but the interface is empty). Will look into it.

Just set up my personal Mastodon at https://mastodon.ar.al

Follow me there:

https://mastodon.ar.al/users/aral/remote_follow

You can mention me there using @aral

When/if you can, I would highly urge you to set up your own Mastodon instance. Currently requires tech knowledge/isn’t seamless (and getting it there will be a big challenge) but this is a great start and a very good step in the right direction.

Lots of love to @eugen and the dev team :)

@aral thanks! By the way, open public timelines APIs are in master and live on .social, unless I'm misremembering because i just woke up at 5am

@aral I've defined about 50% of it in an OpenAPI v2 definition, and I'm able to generate a Swift and Node.js API for it, so both should be done in about a week.

I made a diagram to help you understand how the different timelines/columns work:

@Gargron (…This would get Mastodon being used in training courses, sample code, etc., whenever a simple API call should be demonstrated and could act as another means of raising awareness of Mastodon.) :)

@Gargron Hey man, what would you say to making the public timeline GET API call authorisation-free (GET /api/v1/timelines/public)

Use case: The Twitter public timeline was/is used in sample apps as it’s easy to get the public timeline with an unauthorised GET. I was using the App.net API which had the same thing for samples on Set (https://ind.ie/labs/set/). Would love to port those to show the Mastodon.social public timeline instead but don't want to embed credentials in open source app.
