I'm just working on an extension to mastotool that lets you check how many of the accounts that you follow, or that follow you, are now stale accounts that haven't posted anything in a specified time period.

Spoiler: the numbers on the fediverse are staggeringly high 😐

Follow

@fribbledom In Mastodon's 'Follows and followers' tab, you can sort on 'Last Active' to see who of the people you follow/are followed by have posted for the last time, is this similar in idea?

@trinsec

I'm not quite sure what you're referring to? Can you point me to it?

@fribbledom Checked my .social account to make sure it's in vanilla Mastodon. It is.

@fribbledom In the simple view you can see it on the right hand navigation column as well. In the tweetdeck view you wouldn't, I think.

@trinsec

Oh wow, I honestly didn't know that exists. The sorting is a bit wonky for me though.

So this is similar, but not quite the same. Mastotool generates statistics for you and will also let you unfollow stale accounts automatically - should you wish to.

@fribbledom Cool. :) Just wondering about one thing: What about people who do log in to lurk but never post? Can you track those correctly as active too? Mastodon's can't.

@trinsec @fribbledom Yeah, the relationships menu is really useful for that.
