Is there a way to get @ivory to manually fetch or refresh accounts/profiles/toots of people on other servers?
I know I can open their profile in the in-app browser, but it’s such a hassle to have to log in and MFA every single time I want to follow/boost anything, and for some reason a lot of profiles never gets refreshed so I never see their updated profile/content in #Ivory. #Mastodon decentralized infrastructure problems… 🥲
@agnes This isn't a problem with Ivory. This is just how Mastodon works. Within a client app (or your own instance website), you can only see what your server is aware of. Hitting the "open link to profile" opens their profile on THEIR server which has all of their data.
My current #Ivory subscription ends on June 3 so I want to try something new… If anyone has any recommendations for #Mastodon#Fediverse#iOS apps that don’t have this problem (as much), please send them my way! 🙏
@agnes I'm a big fan of @IceCubesApp - I use it for both my Mastodon accounts (personal and family) and I can use it to look at my Pixelfed. You can follow local instances for things you find interesting, you can make hashtag groups, and it has an AI alt-text generator. I don't use it all the time but if I'm in a rush and need a hand, I can use it to give me a baseline that I can modify accordingly.
@agnes@IceCubesApp ALSO! One more thing - I'm cleaning up some bookmarks in my browser and I found this Google Doc with a comparison of different apps. I don't know how recent it is but it looks pretty accurate:
