Gregory's Server@atomicpoet You will not miss @torvalds’s posts because Mastodon federates with Akkoma, not because of anything a client can or cannot do. These are completely separate layers.

 @atomicpoet A client has no way of knowing what software generated a post on the other end. All posts are uniform in the Mastodon API, federation is handled by the server entirely. There is no way for a client to not display posts from non-Mastodon servers.  @Gargron You say there's no way, and you probably can't imagine it happening -- but I'm saying it's happened with a specific client. @atomicpoet @Gargron it is 100% true and very disappointing tbh. Compare @IceCubesApp where it shows I’m following Linus versus the other one… the Ice Cubes screenshot is taken BEFORE the other one. Hopefully it’s a “mistake”. |
@Gargron There's a certain client (who I'm not putting on blast) that doesn't display posts from non-Mastodon servers.
I don't know how they manage this -- but they do.
Interestingly, the best Pleroma/Akkoma client for iOS is the official Mastodon app 😉
