@ivory Since it’s a new major release, I have to ask: Does it handle non-numeric status IDs?

@daniel No. We aren't going to tackle that until we are done with all the major features/improvements that affect all users. That will be a huge undertaking.

@ivory @daniel what’s the context on why/when non-numeric ids will be impactful?

@grork @ivory Short version: It doesn’t affect Mastodon itself, but other server implementations (one ex. being all the Misskey forks) provide a Mastodon-compatible API that uses alphanumeric status IDs, which is the main reason why Ivory doesn’t work with non-Mastodon servers.

The Mastodon spec states that status IDs are not guaranteed to be numeric, they just are in practice: docs.joinmastodon.org/entities

@ivory @daniel What’s weird (actually good) is that accounts from those instances can be followed and display properly in the timeline. Could we use accounts in those instances maybe in read-only mode? I’m just curious what’s the issue there.

@ivory @daniel Would love to see this as well! Hoping for support for @gotosocial in the future.
