Notices by Chee Aun 🤔 (cheeaun@mastodon.social)

@tanghus links are resolved server-side on your instance, not from the client.

@tanghus @benjaoming if I'm not mistaken, Mastodon doesn't do that anymore — mainly due to some links redirect to completely different page e.g. YouTube links that redirects to consent pages.

@tanghus @benjaoming by "unresolved", are you referring to the link card URL not showing the non-shortened, redirected URL?

@tanghus @benjaoming ah I see. Somehow it's unshortened in your instance, and even on masto.ai itself (it's not unshortened on the instance I'm on).

I'm not really sure what happened then 😂 — perhaps different instance with different configs.

@graue @Andres4NY @mekkaokereke despite being a Mastodon-first client, Phanpy now already supports bits of little features from other servers. Most of them are external contributions as I don't have the capacity to keep up and test them.

Back to topic; I agree that everything needs better funding. Even AP competitors also need the same thing.

Folks with many followers tend to feel that social media revolves around them.

Progress has been slow, and here's a #PhanpySocial changelog ✨

@tchambers oh that's app-level setting instead of account-specific 🙈. It's possible to make it that way but still a hack.

I prefer to know the details on how the mistake could be made (when composing or liking a post?). It's tough to cover all mistakes (e.g. some folks manage to accidentally delete their repo & now you need a type-to-confirm prompt dialog 😂). IMO if the mistake is not destructive, it can still be undo-ed.

@tchambers I see, theme/accent color assigned to specific profiles — imo, colors are always challenging as I embrace more color usage in the UI instead of single-color UI's which may conflict with warning/error states.

As for "tell at a glance", do you mean you keep switching profiles, or open multiple profiles in different tabs/windows/apps? It could get complicated as in showing posts from multiple profiles on multi-column UI (Phanpy doesn't do this, @statuzer does).

@tchambers curious if you've seen or experienced how other apps do this that's useful for you? 🙇♂️

Been fiddling with this (mock) for a while. Would this be easier to understand and make sense?

@pfefferle @mattwiebe honestly this is a tough one. Mastodon uses the (half) moon icon though I'm personally not a fan of it 🙈

Will observe the other apps, when they'll update the copy for post visibility options.

- Unlisted → Quiet Public
- Followers only → Followers
- Mentioned people only → Specific people

So far, I only see Mona using "Quiet Public" https://mastodon.social/@cheeaun/112071331585947439

Relevant PR: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/28119/files#diff-c90a488c48cdde7667e4f5b0b743d2502f144e77a7f33f9703759c376bed1503

@mattwiebe cool. Any reason for choosing the closed-eye icon for “Quiet Public”? 🤔

Interesting to see another client that shows the alt text fields up front. Though the deemphasized text color + italic styling seems… deliberate? 🤔

Curious to know the thinking/decision process behind showing the text "from 50 servers" 🤔

It does give the impression that many people are connecting from multiple servers, further educating folks about the Social Web. But do people need to be aware of them?
