@msdropbear42 Yeah, I got to admit it didn't feel great replying to you. That's one of the weaknesses of this project, too few people are working on it, and as a result progress is slow and patchy. We have something to show for our work, just not everything people might want. I suppose it's the same in every project, but the comparison with other existing Fediverse software puts us behind in a way we can't easily catch up to.
@msdropbear42 Hi and thank you for your interest. To answer your questions:
The current number of top-level replies before we collapse the rest is hard-coded to 3, which means there's no configuration option for it yet and no current plans on adding one.
There's no custom emoji feature like in Mastodon, we have a couple addons that add a fixed list of additional emojis but no ability to add more and no current plans to add this feature.
Images in posts already are resized to fit the post, 4 pictures will take as much space as 1. I'm not sure what you are requesting here.
There's no translation hook, and there is a plan to add it, although it probably won't be ready for this upcoming release: github.com/friendica/friendica…
