I’m going to try and cover all of the basics of Mastodon in this post, as well as the details of how it all works. By the end of this post, you should have a pretty good idea as to how Mastodon works. So, settle in and get a coffee, as this is going to be a long one I think.
Let's POSSE to Mastodon with a Feed and a GitHub Action
After building a Node script for my own POSSE needs, I thought it would be good if other people could also use it. I knew not many people would be able to use the script as-is, so I built a GitHub Action that is much simpler to use, without losing any feature, even gaining some!
It's pretty annoying to see the same toot repeatedly on #Mastodon because everyone is boosting it, even if it's legitimately awesome.
Currently, a boost of a toot is only posted if at least 40 other toots have been posted since the previous boost of the same toot.
There is a GitHub issue asking to allow the user to change this number, or set a duration instead:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18693
Please vote!
My notes will now be push to Mastodon as toots, this feels great! 🎉
I was not aware of this new Mastodon feature, this is great!
15 years ago… 🤷♂️
Work, what else?
Twitter might not exist anymore soon, or change to the point I don't want to use it anymore.
But I’ve been on Mastodon for a few years now, and it’s great. Find me at @nhoizey">https://mamot.fr/@nhoizey
