@ivory I remember getting rate-limited on the website in the past and it wasn’t a big deal but I can understand the reasoning.
Maybe some special setting somewhere so the user could choose to propagate all calls immediately?
Or could the streaming API of the website be implemented in as well?

@ivory This is still happening with the latest version. Before would show the toot I just composed, I was able to open a new tab in my browser, navigate to my instance and read the too there. All while Ivory was still acting like there are no fresh toots to show. After another minute it magically appeared when I tried refreshing for the 10th time 😂

@ivory @tapbots

This seems to be a bug.

If I am making a poll and add another item but decide I don't actually need another option in the poll, there's no way to delete the blank one.

I can't post with a blank option. The only way around this is to delete an option that's already populated and re-enter text that option in the blank slot.

Hi @Ivory

I'm trying to do a filter to remove German posts from my timeline.

Unfortunately, it looks like is picking up posts in other languages. Strangely, if I test my expression with regex101, it does not seem to pick up the 2 problematic posts.

regex101.com/r/hIYFEn/1

Did I miss something, or is it an Ivory bug?

Thanks

The 2 post pick by my German regex

@tchambers thanks :)

I’m using - but doesn’t appear to let me. Good to know it’s possible, so hopefully on their roadmap.

@_elena it's my understanding that #ivory doesn't play nice with #GoToSocial. It's not that it's self hosted but that ivory is looking for extra info that GtS doesn't yet support from the Mastodon API. I've found a couple of apps that can't work with GtS. 😒 Thier loss as GtS is fab

In the interest of full transparency - for those also curious about and :

I have nothing but the BEST things to say about these two services. They are truly brilliant, easy and intuitive even for total newbies like me. 0 coding skills necessary.

Now a *little* setback I've had / unpleasant surprise is that the superb iOS app doesn't support self-hosted instances. At least, that's my experience (see screenshot).

For mobile I use (iOS) and (Android)

a screenshot from Ivory on my iPhone with the message: "Add another account?" below it there is "Enter the name of your instance". You can't read it because I pixelated it on purpose but there is an alert at the bottom that reads "Could Create Account. We currently only support Mastodon servers"

For those who want to use on @ivory: evolved from the Tweetbot codebase, which was a third-party Twitter client, so it assumes that object IDs are integers. Hollo uses UUIDs for object IDs, so it can't be used with Ivory at this time. We hope that Ivory will support non-integer object IDs in the future!

@ivory What is the state of the hard-coded 500 chars in ? I was experimenting with and came across an issue on GitHub that the limit is not actually pulled from the instance?

Seriously @ivory I love you, but this is just crap!

Can you please do something about how these posts are formatted?!

At the very least respect line breaks and don't fuse them together without even a single space between…

Screenshot of a recent post in Ivory showing that the formatting completely ignores every formatting, and makes the text almost entirely unreadable.

A couple of software changes I've made recently which I think I'll commit to. From Arc browser, which I've found quirky and a bit buggy, to Vivaldi, and from Ivory to Mona app, subscription to one off payment.

In my own subscription news…
1. Back to for another year. $24.99 combined for a solid macOS and iOS app is hard to pass up. Didn't see any alternatives that did both well.
2. Squarespace stacked up better than I thought for my “professional” site and migrating to something new is a chore so staying with it.
3. Two different instances of WordPress I need to fiddle with.
4. Car registration - $74.50 if I had an EV it would be $200/yr on top of $400 the 1st time. $7 inspection.

There’s been speculation that this might be a test to see if absence of third-party apps affects engagement. But it doesn’t matter anymore. We’re watching the developers react in real-time on a competing platform. Their trust in Twitter is gone. Their customers’ trust in Twitter is gone. And they’re more loyal to the developers than they ever were to Twitter. API usage could have been a feature of Blue. But now people are lining up to pay for , , , etc.—not Twitter.

Oh wow 2.0 really made the media attachments into a carousel UI for post details screen.

While maintaining aspect ratios 😲

A few words of advice for new from doing to get away from 's hellscape:
1.Toot with hashtags
2. Search with hashtags
3.Follow hashtags
4.Make lists
5. If you use , pay for the app; if you use , pay for
6. BOOST BOOST BOOST!!!
7. Remember that , Glory to , is a terrorist state,
