@freemo Hey Freemo,

Do you think there is any way to add translation to the web-based Mastodon client we go through @ qoto.org? Sort of like what they got going on in Mastalab?

We've gotten more people in the instance discussing things in languages other than English, and I'd love to be able to translate on the fly as a quality of life improvement, as opposed to C&P to google translate.

@Surasanji If i get the time I'd like to try.. maybe. I have to imagine there is a pure javascrpt solution i can employ...

@freemo Cool! Not like it is a required thing or anything. Just a Quality of Life improvement.

@Surasanji Yea that and a few other ui tweaks have been on the back of my mind...

@Surasanji Greying out the boost key on messages greater than 1000 characters without a CW, and on the server side I want to add local-only (non-federated) post privacy as well as non-local (federates like normal just doesnt show up in the local timeline).

@freemo you shall be punished for this blasphemy against Longposting.

@hector We have a 65,535 limit at . So if we didn't implement a safeguard that could easily be abused.

@freemo @hector

Very true. I've already gotten in trouble for long-posting. :p

I like the design ideas!

@freemo then why don't you just set the limit to 1000? Do you understand how Pleroma config works?

@hector Is it possible to force a CW if the post is > X chars?

I try to do courtesy CWs when I'm droning on.... But I'd rather be forced to have a "read more..." CW rather than not be able to toot/retoot at all.

@freemo

@hector And maybe a way to recommend/enforce something other than just a URL? :) My local timeline is filling up with URLs - may be worthwhile to visit or not, but it's a bit rough with just a bunch of http://... filling up the timeline. @freemo
