hi I'm Nicole, the fediverse chick, and I'm here to tell you to STOP MARRYING AMERICAN WOMEN #mastodev #hiveway #lowfollowercount #eatsleepraverepeat #deathtoamerica
Hey people, has anyone gotten #ntfy to work with Moshidon? Has anyone gotten any custom server up and running and working for any Moshidon notifications?
Thank you in advance.

A couple of things.
1. If you enable this and find a post that doesn't render correctly then **please file a bug that includes a link to the post and a screenshot**.
2. There's no UI for adding Markdown to the posts you create yet. That's coming, maybe in the next release, maybe not.
3. This only acts on the contents of posts. Content warnings, image captions, and account details are not converted. Not sure if they should be or not yet.
#Pachli 2.10.1 has been released. This fixes the issue that could cause Pachli to crash if you had ever signed in with multiple accounts, ensures "Show anyway" works on filtered posts in all timelines, and shows all available languages in Android's system settings.
Thanks to @tinsuke, @Russssty, @kallekn, @alkaf, Aindriú Mac Giolla Eoin, and @LukaszHorodecki.

Took me a while to debug this on Phanpy's Catch-up, date range is wrong, the squares are all group into a single tall bar 
Turns out one of the posts is… 
in the future (2026). This: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/18666/nodebb-4.1.0 (Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@julian@community.nodebb.org/114077199430551343)
Anyone knows why/how this happens?

Alrighty, 2 issues added:
- `in_reply_to_id` in ScheduledStatus should be a string https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/34000
- Add editing for scheduled statuses https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/34010
On Phanpy's side for now, notes/questions:
- Min/max implemented = 6 mins‒90 days (exact 5min returns error 
)
- Mastodon no max limit, Threads = 75 days, X = 18 months
- No editing until the API supports it
- Should the composer warn about lack of editing?
- Allow add scheduled posts page as a column?

5. From the API response, `in_reply_to_id` is an integer instead string, `JSON.parse` doesn't `BigInt`-fy it, rounds the number and gives the wrong ID

3. API for list of scheduled posts can't be sorted by scheduled time; default to created time.
4. Scheduled reply is possible but feels like an odd use-case, except maybe self-replies to own thread.
Is there no way to get the timestamps of the events in a notification group in the new Mastodon grouped notifications? #MastoDev
Scheduled posts API on Mastodon seems a bit rough.
1. Post payload is a bit different than published posts (ScheduledStatus https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/ScheduledStatus/#example vs Status https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/Status/#example)
2. There's API to reschedule & delete but no edit https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/scheduled_statuses/
Looking back at the initial PR (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/9706): "The scheduled date must be at least 5 minutes into the future. At most, 300 toots can be scheduled at the same time. Only 50 toots can be scheduled for any given day."
docs.joinmastodon.orgScheduledStatus - Mastodon documentationRepresents a status that will be published at a future scheduled date.
Today, I learned that PyScript is a thing, and that you can use it to run Mastodon.py entirely in your browser and build anything from a small basic tool to an entire client, using Python, that runs in the browser!

MASTODON WHY ARE YOU WRITING A NEW FEP FOR QUOTE POSTS WHEN THERE ARE ALREADY N IMPLEMENTATIONS OF A DE FACTO STANDARD
Hey, everyone! It took like 1.5 years, here is, finally, a proper new release for Mastodon.py! 
This was a lot of work! I'm so glad I finally got it across the line!
Docs: https://mastodonpy.readthedocs.io/en/2.0.0/
Github with changelog: https://github.com/halcy/Mastodon.py/releases/tag/2.0.0
This is a *massive* update. There's all the support for new endpoints up to 4.3.0, and large amounts of refactoring. The library is now fully typed, too, and thanks to that documentation has been massively improved!
Despite the major version bump, everything *should* be for the most part backward compatible. Existing code should not break, unless you're on Python 3.6 or below. I would still recommend being careful about upgrading without need. Expect a maintenance update once people actually start using this and find all the issues in the code that my tests didn't catch.

Important improvements to the script! 
Replaced status and media_ids[] with a more robust update function.
Improved HTML tag handling with smart cleaning to preserve line breaks.
Added an infinite loop with a 60s delay to continuously analyze images in posts.
Enhanced error handling, with specific exceptions for redirects and other request issues.

Salut les dev, j'aimerais bien vos avis sur ma poursuite d'études.
Je vais bientôt obtenir mon titre RNCP de Conceptrice Développeuse d'Applications (CDA).
J'envisage de poursuivre avec un Master d'ingénierie en architecture logicielle au CNAM. Ça veut probablement dire continuer sur 3 ans d'études en alternance (L3 -> M2).
J'ai 29 ans, j'aime programmer et je me sens encore novice après 2 ans de formation à l'école Simplon. Je me pose des questions sur la pertinence de cette formation, la nécessité d'avoir un Master aujourd'hui, et globalement le fait d'être étudiante à mon âge senior ! Merci d'avance 
The @Mastodon team will be at the upcoming annual free and open source event #FOSSDEM in Brussels this upcoming weekend to talk about their (opt-in!) Fediverse Discovery Providers project:
