And we are back*, baby!

• with the limitation on popular tweets for now

And no retweets, but I did notice I can get pinned tweets though

@vincent I’m still getting the development mode error.

@vincent You dropped this 👑

EllenJS, 9 months ago

@vincent
4 posts from a person followed by 15 people via bird.makeup recently appeared in my feed. All 4 posts were 8-10 days old, and the person has definitely tweeted more recently than that.

EllenJS, 9 months ago

@vincent
I also follow other, presumably more popular people via bird.makeup, and no posts from them have appeared in my feed.

kvenden, 9 months ago

@vincent I still have yet to see a single one since then. Do we need to unfollow and refollow them? Or is it just going to take some time to catch up?

@kvenden @vincent

same here. just tried unfollowing and re following a bunch of accounts. we'll see.

So they are all green right now, and the fetching tweets part works from my computer and CI, but not from any of the servers... The approach of fetching tweets from the embeds doesn't seem to work....

FML, and back to the drawing board!

@vincent Thank you for trying to keep it up!!!

@vincent Thanks for working on this!

kvenden, 9 months ago

@vincent Have you reached out to @sportsbots.xyz seems to still be functioning fine? Also, I’ve gotten a small handful of bird.makeup tweets in the last couple days randomly, so seems like you’ve had it working at least a couple times.. thanks for your work on this, it is so much appreciated!

@vincent your hard work is appreciated o7

I will continue with something homegrown for users and individual tweets, but I'm thinking if I should add a dependency on nitter to fetch timelines 🤔

The lead dev has timelines working again already: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/983#issuecomment-1684070343

While having everything built-in is neat, strategies to crawl are getting more complicated and it's starting to take a lot of time to re-implement things in C#

@vincent +1 to connect it to nitter.

I had the same dilemma for @podcastserver and in the end I used yt-dlp instead of reimplementing everything… it didn't worth it for end-users.

@vincent Agreed, I'd love to at least have a link to Nitter from the page, if not just have the web link for the post go directly to nitter
