Another masto patch i take for granted on neuromatchstodon that actually makes for a lovely local tl:
glitch allows us to include boosts in the local TL, which makes it so people can "boost in" to the TL: you see not only what ppl are posting, but what they are looking at. boosting shares horizontally within small instances. That gets annoying tho, because you end up seeing the same boost a zillion times sometimes, so we added a filter that makes it so you only see the most recent one.
Just nice quality of life things for small fedi instances <3
Anyone up for a little light #CodeReview? Glitch has an option to show boosts in the local TL, which I think is lovely for small instances like ours, it really helps new ppl get oriented in the fedi. The problem is public feeds dont filter duplicate boosts in the same way that home feeds do, so you end up seeing the same boost lots of time.
I wrote a patch to only show the most recent boost in public TLs, but since I am a relative noob with postgres, SQL, and rails, and since it touches core feed functionality id love it if someone took a look before we deploy on our instance (after some field testing we'll pull upstream). I tried to make it as contained as I could so other masto forks could merge it in too, if ya interested.
