@Gargron @grishka @lickability yes!! Lickability is amazing, good choice. (I’m sure Grishka is also 💯)

@Gargron @grishka @lickability Yay! 🥳 I'm absolutely hyped for the android app.

@Gargron @grishka @lickability Can we please get support for the local timeline this time? I realize you don't find it useful on your huge instance, but it's the main reason I bother to be a mod for my local instance.

If you don't want everyone to centralize on your instance, you need to provide people with an incentive to run their own servers, and the local timeline is it. If you don't support it in Mastodon apps, it won't exist for people on phones (most people).

@skyfaller
What do you mean with "support for the local timeline"?

@AlexSittner @Gargron @grishka @lickability The Mastodon for iPhone app doesn't allow you to view the local or federated timeline: blog.freeradical.zone/post/ski

Given that Eugen has refused to even allow discussion on the GitHub issue for iPhone, I doubt he'll bend for the Android version, but I'll continue bringing it up because I think it's a serious error.

Goldmaster, there's no reason it wouldn't. The only dependency on Google services would be for push notifications, and it's an optional one.
