I've a big whish. Please add the possibility to follow a single person from another instance (which is potentially blocked by my instance), via the timeline feature.
It's possible to follow a complete Mastodon instance with #fedilab, but it would be nice to follow only a single account (like @potus), because following @threads.net makes no sense (for me).
This is a very small nuisance, but in Ableton Live, sometimes I end up dragging an audio clip onto a MIDI track, and it would be nice to have an option to convert the MIDI track into an audio track.
The queer.af seizure by the Taliban should once and for all hammer home the importance of implementing automatic scheduled downloads of your list of followers and followings, and any way at all to download your archive of toots to migrate too, not just your social graph!
Mastodon might introduce a "proprietary", home-brew "No quote-toots allowed" flag outside the ActivityPub standard that probably won't be documented anywhere. Just like their "sensitive image" flag, but even more critical.
And if that happens, all Fediverse projects that have a quote-post/quote-boost/quote-tweet/quote-toot/share feature will have to have that flag reverse-engineered from Mastodon's source code and implemented a functionality that greys out the corresponding button under "no quote-toot" posts. And all their instances will have to upgrade to a version that fully supports that flag before Mastodon rolls out that flag. Or else Mastodon will defederate all their instances for being non-compliant.
This will at least affect Friendica and everything that can be traced back to it, including Hubzilla and (streams), as well as Misskey and everything that can be traced back to it, including Firefish whose development is dead and dozens upon dozens of other Forkeys.
If this actually comes, and if it's enforced immediately after release with no grace period, Mastodon could just as well fully be defederated from the rest of the Fediverse due to being incompatible. It'd cause a rift between Mastodon and the non-Mastodon Fediverse anyway because the former would have a requirement for federation which the latter is incapable of fulfilling.
I love the "press Shift+F3 to switch between all capitalization options" feature of LibreOffice and MS Office and just really wish it was implemented on a OS level so it just worked out of the box in every text box in every application!
IMHO it would be pretty nice if <ALT> of shared media were easy to copy/paste
for instance, when sharing https://carbon.now.sh/ generated images, the actual code is often in the the <ALT> and copy/pasting this would be tremendously useful
Little tip for when you're suggesting features to a project: "Feature Idea" sounds so much nicer than "Feature Request". Rather than sounding like "I want this, this is an order!", it's more like "Hey, this would be cool, what do you think?"
This also goes out to all the maintainers creating issue labels, by the way.
For sure @phanpy is now my favorite #Mastodon client, the only thing it doesn't seem to do is keep my reading position in my timeline. It does to an extent (when you keep it open), but when the web app is paged out it all resets, and it doesn't sync across devices. #featurerequest
@1password any chance for 1password to be able to work offline in the future? It seems like it will not save new passwords/passkeys if it cannot get access to the internet. Unfortunately, some corporate networks block 1password internet connections (seems to be only the "save XXX" one) so it won't save new passwords. #featureRequest
