downloading mastodon replies to a post is surprisingly hard, I ended up just downloading all my mentions and statuses and then writing a recursive CTE in SQL to get all of the replies to a given post.

There's a `/context` endpoint that returns replies to a status but it doesn't return all of them and it doesn't seem to support pagination.

this floating point post had so many great replies that I had to write a custom Python program to download them all so that I could really read them properly

(well, you could argue that I didn't technically *have* to, but programmers gotta program)

Since a couple of people have suggested putting the comics on a website or printing collections of them -- those things actually exist already! :)

There's a searchable (by title) list here: https://wizardzines.com/comics

And you can buy print copies at https://wizardzines.com
