#qoto peeps, is it possible to edit posts on this instance, as opposed to "delete and re-draft"? I'm not seeing the edit option anywhere.
@MichaelPorter
Edit is from a newer version of the Mastodon software, #Qoto doesn't run it yet. An update is planned (for this and other features like language tagging), but no specific timelines yet.
🇳🇱
Its not an older version. QOTO is a fork with many unique features, as such our version has no relevance relative to the mastodon version.
@freemo @digital_carver Ah okay. The listing on instances.social mislead me as it has a column for "version" but doesn't factor in forked versions. Will qoto have an edit function at some point?
Yes in the very near future. Its one of the few things mainline has we done and we are pulling it in.
@freemo @digital_carver Thanks for all the work you are doing!
@digital_carver Ah, okay. I noticed that we were on an older version. @freemo is this because the software needs tweaking to accommodate the longer character limits, etc.? Or are you anti-bleeding-edge? 😄
(One of my teaching colleagues used to work in industry and he had a personal policy of always running software that was a couple of versions old—let other people get bit by the bugs!)
