vincent,

I'm getting a lot of question about what's currently working with bird.makeup, so here it is:

The system is mostly back online, but there are some major limitation when crawling new posts.

  • To be forwarded, a post has to be in the top 100 of an account as measured by likes
  • There are no retweets being forwarded right now

@vincent Is there a way to fix this error?

eijil,

@vincent Thanks for your job!❤️

vincent,

To fix the crawling, I'm going to need to start using Twitter accounts to fetch new posts. This is getting complicated for the time I can put on this as a side project, so I'm going to rely on Nitter implementing this, then I'm going to use that. You can track progress here: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/983

There is another thing I can fix natively in bird.makeup though. I noticed pinned tweets are there in user lookups. I can forward this, and the top 100 limitation doesn't apply to that.

@vincent Very nice work! I think if/when threads federates there will be far less need for this...
