lol am I like over-designing this? 😂
I need a way to test this but I don't have a Mastodon server for testing. Don't really want to send random test reports to other instance admins 😬
Not on dev site yet, still on my local dev. #PhanpySocialDev
OK, might as well. #introduction time again!
I'm eblu! I do #GraphicDesign and/or #GameDev sometimes whenever I'm not procrastinating on it (pretty sure I'm #AuDHD). I also dabble in fun little doodles and music every now and then, though I wouldn't call myself a serious contender in those fields just yet.
I've been using Mastodon on and off since about 2018 but only really got into gear around 2021-2022. It's been a learning experience, and I'm going to be the first to admit that it's got some pretty glaring flaws, but I haven't loved a social network as much as the Fediverse, so I'm happy to be here!
(also—please don't be alarmed by the memes all over my account. these are normal and you'll understand the jokes eventually)
@fasterthanlime did you know the Furry Fandom is in part responsible for the current global financial situation? Don't believe me? Google furry inflation

@TechConnectify This isn't really directly to you, it's to admins reading you and seeing all this.
HEY MASTODON ADMINS, INSTALL FEDIFETCHER IT'S GOOD FOR YOU

It's easy and it works, runs as a cron, fills in the missing replies to posts. I've been running it for a year. You want it.
Some of you are gonna disagree with me on my interpretation, I bet. And that's OK.
But thanks to the Magic of Federation, you might not see these replies.
And also thanks to the Magic of Federation, even if you want to find these replies you'll have to look through dozens because I have so many followers.
I'm considering it my mission at this point to make these issues more visible. And the "look, one of these" boosts will serve as a content warning.
Peace.

Computer science nerd. Furry. I like software engineering. I know Java, Lua, Python, and enough of C/C++ to hate them. I am currently learning Rust, and I am loving every minute of it so far.
