 Mastodon admins and techy people, do you want to backfill missing posts that haven't federated to you yet? There's a new tool for this called FediFetcher: β‘οΈ https://blog.thms.uk/fedifetcher Bear in mind it's still very new and requires tech skills, read the github at https://github.com/nanos/FediFetcher The script runs independently of your server, but needs an access token from each user that it backfills for. Thanks to @nellie_m for highlighting this! 11 comments
 @homegrown Itβs great that someone is working on this! Mastodonβs biggest weakness at the moment, as far as I can tell. For replies, itβd be nice if the UI could support incrementally backfilling more posts. Yes, indeed, it would be nice if there was an "update" button on profiles, and/or if such updates happened automatically when people follow an account or take part in a thread. @homegrown@social.growyourown.services @nellie_m@autisticpri.de Actually Fedifetcher wasn't made for admins. Every user has to create a access token for themselves and setup some kind of cronjob or Github action. @redegelde Maybe You are interested? Sure would make the experience even more seamless. @homegrown @nellie_m I've noticed missing profiles but looks like you've fix that π @homegrown If you're on managed hosting, you can (and probably should) use relays, the built-in tool for this! |

@homegrown @nellie_m wait, I don't understand why this is necessary - doesn't #Mastodon automatically fetch required posts?
