@neilhoskins @helenczerski @davidho Seems to be a "feature" of QOTO. :-(
@mapto @neilhoskins @helenczerski @davidho @freemo @gabipurcaru I don't mean to imply that it's intentional. But everytime this tool gets discussed, the people for whom it doesn't work appear to be on qoto. :-(
🇳🇱
The reason it doesnt work for people on QOTO is because QOTO isnt mastodon, its a fork.
@freemo @ChrisWilms23 @neilhoskins @helenczerski @davidho @gabipurcaru ok, I've just found this one https://git.qoto.org/qoto/qoto/-/commits/qoto/ . I love qoto, but I also find it very important to move on to full-text search. Thus my question: @freemo , could you summarise somewhere an estimate (a bullet list?) of what would it take to merge back from mastodon 4? Is this something that you're willing to do if you get help with development?
Well for starters we already have full text search, weve had it for years.. My guess is you mean they are doing something new in that regard youd want us to integrate?
Merging back from 4 itself doesnt make sense.. but i can of course pull in any features we may be lacking on a case by case basis.
@freemo @ChrisWilms23 @helenczerski @davidho @gabipurcaru ok, that's a much better answer than what I hoped for. Problem resolved as much as I'm concerned.
As for the issue with Followgraph, this is rather something that I might look into when I find myself with time. If it's only about authentication, not an issue to be implemented. The issue is rather how to run it locally at the user's computer, so that the privacy requirement keeps being satisfied.
yea its something im happy to address if possible
@mapto @ChrisWilms23 @neilhoskins @helenczerski @davidho @freemo The way Followgraph is implemented is meant to preseve privacy: it uses inauthenticated requests to make sure Followgraph does not need to receive or store user data.
Specifically, it uses this API endpoint: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/accounts/#following
The documentation says "**OAuth:** Public". Some implementations accept inauthenticated requests, but some choose not to.
This is why Followgraph doesn't always work.
@ChrisWilms23 @neilhoskins @helenczerski @davidho In what sense it is a feature? Can anyone between @freemo and @gabipurcaru explain, please? Thank you!
