Will there be API endpoints for this?

@dansup
Not sure if you already spoke with @J12t, but I think this could be an important tool for feditest@mastodon.social

@dansup @pixelfed oh wow, I have read this the wrong way (esp the refresh token part)
I will have a look again. These two issues were holding us up from adding you as a supported platform

Thanks for clarification

@dansup @pixelfed
Congrats, Dan!
I highly recommend giving the API the attention it deserves, it's what makes or breaks platforms.
You can only build so much on your own.

@dansup I never thought of Canada as the birth place of the Fediverse
Thanks @evan!

Are you also Canadian, Dan?

@dansup @pixelfed
You are right!
One of the challenges I see with fedi-devs is that they are shy about basic retention strategies, leaving the field wide open to profit driven competitors to dominate.

Someone complaining about something shouldn't mean that's what everyone wants.
Make them easy to disable, or even ask the user if they want to enable them, many people want notifications! (Just make them fine grain, not all or nothing)

@dansup
hmmm, in my experience auto-scaling saves money (you don't have to run larger instances unless you need to)

@dansup
Shouldn't big instances have auto-scaling?

@dansup @pixelfed

well done, Daniel, contratulations

@dansup @danielmrose @pixelfed
Amazing!
I can't wait

@dansup @danielmrose @pixelfed
I would love to add support, but that 15 days token limit is an issue.
Can it be increased?

@dansup your dns queries will go through the roof, not sure if that's a good idea

@dansup
Yes, Redis is magic :)

@dansup @pixelfed
I think this is great as a second option, but always require your own password.

honestly, one of my biggest regrets in coding is allowing login with another platform.
If they have a bug, your users becomes a hostage to them fixing it, and you can do nothing about it.

@dansup
As a user:
Outbox/follower/following should be available for those on other instances to browse my posts/followers, it's one pain point I have on the Fediverse
For privacy, multiple levels are great

As Fediverse advocate:
I think default should be opt-out, not opt-in

As an engineer:
API access is much better than anonymous access because crawlers would just bombard you and you have no control

As a tool builder:
I think all of above is a good compromise between openness and privacy
