Gregory's ServerI'm happy to say that I've now onboarded another iOS developer for our app, and we are set on making another update to the app as soon as possible. I've also onboarded the first batch of new moderators for this server.

@Gargron great news. One of the things I would like to see is standardised terms. Reblog or boost is a great example #MastodonApp #ios @Gargron I returned to Mastodon after a long absence and the biggest change Iβve noticed is how impressive the official app is! Thanks for prioritizing it. Iβve tried lots of clients on iOS but none are as fun and usable as the official one. @Gargron awesome news. I read recently that the Mastodon app is actually really in its infancy? For me, it could add 3 things to improve substantially: 1οΈβ£ delete & redraft option @ravetracer_22 @Gargron It isnβt? I hadnβt noticed that. Mostly use an iPad in landscape mode. @Gargron will we ever see support for stuff like reactions in the app? i run akkoma on my instance (fork of plemora) and i use the mastodon app for iOS to get notifications and stuff because akkoma has a mastodon-compatible api, but i cant use reactions from the app :(  @Gargron Cool. Does that mean the project is finally gonna get a legitimate governance model now?  @melanie Maybe, but I was referring to the software development project and not to content moderation which is done at the level of (coordinating) servers. @Gargron add sort by βnewβ or βtrendingβ for federated or community posts. Also DM feature please!  @rodroidrx a trending federated timeline? What is this, Twitter? Keep those algorithms away from here, tyvm. @Gargron Is it possible to have a FediSearch that could be done optionally? You could decide if you want to be seen in searches or not? Instances could opt in or out? @Gargron Kudos and huzzah! May you, your new devs, and the new moderators be suceussful as #mastodon and the #fediverse continue to grow!!! @Gargron Great stuff. Would be stellar if we could edit posts and favorite specific hashtags on mobile! @Gargron @louisgrasset @reddwharf But I'm guessing that whilst they are being paid, they are being paid as contractors/freelancers and so are not actually hired/employed by Mastodon gGmbh. Correct? @Gargron nice! Thanks, if anyone havenβt suggested it yet, could the dev team make it so we can follow certain hashtags? @Gargron I heard quite a few engineers with experience in building a social media app became vacant just recentlyβ¦ @Gargron guten Morgen! @Gargron do you know where/who can I ask for support regarding running an instance? @Gargron Thank you and the rest of the team for making an awesome space for us all! β€οΈ @Gargron Fantastic news π I hope eventually we can add GIF and have an edit button (maybe a translator?β¦ eventually haha) π€. Mastodon is a great site/app and I cannot wait to see it improve even more π. Thanks! Iβm using the webapp on all my iOS devices. Itβs working well. It gets an extra layer when saved to the Home Screen, like any other app. @Gargron How come the official app doesn't support logging in to accounts hosted on mastodon.social?  @Gargron been loving it here! It has been a great experience! Very happy to see where this goes in the future  @Gargron Like others have said, please don't forget Android. I really like the design of the official Android app but it's lacking so many features. It can't even display image alt text or the local/federated timelines. Making this app functionality complete would definitely help with the confusion that a lot of new users are experiencing. @Gargron Iβm a computer engineer by trade, let me know if thereβs anything I can help with. I donβt have too much time but Iβd love to help with the success of this app @Gargron Thank you and your crew for providing this platform. When good people try to encourage positive communication, the world becomes a better place for all. @Shane David Look at @Druid π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ 's posting above yours: Looks like the Mastodon Android App needs some love (though I don't know if it is safe to call it the "official" app).
@Gargron Need any help modding @dogsofmastodon I'm in. Worked w T in #communities beta . Lots of exp w real and virtual communities @Gargron can you help get an Android app that does lists? It's my #1 complaint of Mastodon. Ie: I have 5 topics I like to follow. Don't have time/desire to scroll all day so I skim the tops of each / go deep when I can on each individually. Multiple accounts could do the job but that has its own Sounds like #tooty does it for iOS. Webpage works. Android? #crickets @Gargron Considering the huge invasion you've had to handle, you all are doing great! @Gargron is there some work going on to in the backend services? can someone contribute from community? @Gargron this is great news!! Looks like Mastodon is about to take off! ππ @Gargron Well, I may be able to help as well. I'm experiencing some issues in the App that I know how to solve right away. Is it okay to simply contribute on github without any formal relation to mastodon? I mean, I am willing to spend some of my spare time solving issues, making pull requests... @sharkberry Thatβs what I and a few others have started doing over the past week, and the official devs have been super responsive and have been merging our PRs! https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-ios @Gargron thank you. Really appreciate the thought and work being done behind the scenes to make this work. @Gargron Hi Eugen. Does this include a new updated Android app to match the functionality of the browser based version too? ππΎ @Gargron there are some critical missing features in the IOS app indeed. Looking forward to the update. Thank you! @Gargron Link previews and comment threading would be excellent quality of life improvements for the iOS app. @Gargron This app is very nice to use! Yβall mostly use Combine and UIKit, right? Thinking about pushing this duo more at work while we wait for SwiftUI maturity. @Gargron glad to hear about the extra help β can you let me know why my profile has been hidden? @Gargron hi Gargron, any chance you are hiring people to work remotely? Iβm looking for one π |
