Pachli

It's been a rainy day in Zurich, so I had a free hour to prototype some changes to how media is attached to posts in #Pachli.

What do we think?

Medien: 1

While I'm waiting for #Pachli 2.12.0 to go through the Google review process I'm working on a significant quality-of-life improvement.

If you follow a moderately popular account you've probably seen the following situation.

1. They post something popular.
2. You see it on your timeline.
3. For the next 48 hours other people you follow boost it, which means it keeps spamming your timeline.

No fault of the original author, or the people boosting it, this is just how Mastodon works.

# #Pachli 2.12.0 is released

## New features include

- Backup and restore
- Improved admin notifications
- "Tab tap" preference graduates from labs

## Fixes include

- Translated media descriptions show in threads
- Fixed "Record not found" errors
- Crashes with admin notifications

## Updated translations

- Finnish, Irish, Latvian, Polish, Slovak, Spanish

That's why #Pachli disables the feature. Otherwise your scheduled posts would be sent immediately.

You can now **export** and **import** your settings from #Pachli. Rolling out in Pachli Current now, this will be in the next release at the end of the month.

This is available in **Preferences > Lab experiments**. Tap **Export settings** and you'll be prompted to choose a location and filename for the saved preferences. The settings are saved as JSON, if you want to inspect the contents.

Tap **Import settings** to chose a file to import settings from.

Do you use #obtainium to install Android apps?

If so, good news:

1. #Pachli Current now has its own release page on GitHub, which means you can install it using Obtainium. https://pachli.app/2025/04/03/obtainium.html has details, with screenshots.
2. The Pachli download page (https://pachli.app/download/) includes Obtainium links for both Pachli and Pachli Current.

Are you getting spam messages from #nicolethefediversechick ?

#Pachli account filters let you block notifications and conversations from accounts you don't follow, or that have been created very recently.

https://pachli.app/pachli/2025/02/28/2.10.0-release.html#anti-harassment-controls-for-conversations-private-mentions has details and examples.

If you use #obtainium and want to try #Pachli Current I'm experimenting with a new distribution mechanism suggested by @TheDragon.

Open Obtainium, tap "**Add App**" and use https://github.com/pachli/pachli-android-current as the "**App Source URL**".

If this turns out to be helpful then I'll document it over at https://pachli.app

# Markdown in #Pachli Current

#Pachli Current now has experimental support for rendering Markdown in posts.

Markdown is a mechanism for including simple formatting while still being understandable as plain text. The first line of this post is a heading, **this is in bold**, *this is italic*, `this is monospace`.

> This is how you quote something.

```kotlin
val msg = "Adding code is easy"
```

- So is
- bullet lists

1. Or...
2. Numbered lists
