If you boost posts that are longer than 7 times the height of my screen, I'm unfollowing your boosts.

@neauoire

I'm thinking to hack the custom CSS of my Firefox to show every toot with a scrollbar on the side and a fixed height.

@neauoire What client are you using? Phanpy makes long posts expandable.

Föderation EN Di 18.06.2024 19:12:20

@csepp lemme try Phanpy

Föderation EN Di 18.06.2024 19:14:48

@csepp it automatically loads all media, no go.

@neauoire
I don't know about the latest versions (I'm still on 2.x) but the version I use has auto-truncation of long posts (when I turn it on, defaults to off) and media is only loaded automatically on Wi-Fi: on mobile data that's tap to load. I don't know if any of those features survived the code rewrite though and it is a bit of a big app. Also, Android only.

For Linux PC, I have a bunch of scripts I wrote for the that act as a lightweight client…

@neauoire I use it with uBO, although it interferes with its built-in click-to-load function a bit. But I got used to it.

Föderation EN Mi 19.06.2024 10:20:22

@neauoire cc: @phanpy Is click-to-load for media planned?

Föderation EN Mi 19.06.2024 11:32:51

@csepp @neauoire @phanpy a low data mode would actually be really nice @cheeaun

Föderation EN Mi 19.06.2024 11:53:58

@liaizon @csepp @neauoire not planned for now. Images are lazy-loaded tho'.

@neauoire im so glad unfollowing boosts is a thing on masto

Föderation EN Di 18.06.2024 19:21:06

@neauoire Join me in filtering out all boosts

Föderation EN Di 18.06.2024 19:21:55

@eli_oat I have a 1 strike policy, and so far it has been pretty good, I still enjoy discovering new accounts through boosts : )

Föderation EN Di 18.06.2024 19:23:50

@neauoire I get around this with lists. I see boosts from a set number of folks, so can discover new accounts that way.

Föderation EN Di 18.06.2024 20:48:49

@eli_oat

With lists you don't get followers-only posts, right?

I don't read boosts and it seems like most people don't. I still put a lot of effort into making boosts though. I set it up so I can easily boost things I've read from RSS or from Clippings.txt

@eli_oat @neauoire I do kinda like how pinafore auto-CWs any post longer than a certain length with "Long post"

Föderation EN Di 18.06.2024 20:19:57

@eli_oat @neauoire That's why I love using tut, it's on terminal, no rich media, no waste, and it filters all boosts with one line in its config. ;)

Föderation EN Di 18.06.2024 19:34:25

@neauoire what if I'm boosting a blog post I wrote that federates to Mastodon? 😉

Föderation EN Di 18.06.2024 19:38:51

@gendor hopefully the body of the post will be inside the CW ^^

Föderation EN Di 18.06.2024 19:34:51

@neauoire :( sometimes long texts posts are good

Föderation EN Di 18.06.2024 19:42:37

@neauoire I struggle with boosts on this platform, too.

For me, it's more about frequency: if someone toots or boosts "too much" (subjective to me), I hide boosts or unfollow.

It would be nice if there were more programmable controls for filtering toots and boosts.

Föderation EN Di 18.06.2024 20:43:21

@neauoire

I make long posts sometimes

Föderation EN Mi 19.06.2024 01:45:25

@neauoire I accept this policy and its consequences. 🙏😔

I'll never be offended if my boosts are muted - I made this account with the express purpose of boosting any and every post I enjoy.😁 :boost_ok:

@neauoire@merveilles.town which screen are you using tho?
