How about enabling subscriptions to #search results in #mastodon?
E.g. if I‘m interested in news about actress Leslie Caron (I actually am), I might of course subscribe to the hashtag #LeslieCaron. But I will miss any posts with „Leslie Caron“ in it, if the author didn‘t also add that hashtag.
I’m new to Mastodon. Who shall I address this #idea to? Who can #help?
#IDEA - The Democrats should produce a game show called “The Whopper.” When a public figure tells a lie, Dems post a “challenge.” Each week, 4 contestants paying $500 entry fee, in 3 elimination rounds, tries to convince a studio “jury” (chosen at random from an audience pool) that it’s true. A volunteer “prosecutor” presents the facts of the case and gets to rebut “evidence.” The rounds finalist that “wins” by persuading the jury takes home $100,000. If not, just a bag of sand to pound.

We should introduce "Community ALT text" on Mastodon (and other fediverse softwares which has similar ALT text implementation), much like the Community notes feature on Twitter. This would be really helpful for situations where it's challenging to provide a proper description for an image.
Does anyone else have to deal with a university (which I'm sure receives plenty of federal $$$) whose staff routinely send out emails consisting entirely of an image and no text?
On a good day the alt text is "a picture. alt text generated automatically".
Hilariously, one year a new accessibility / #ADA compliance person sent some emails trying to get others to follow the law. She gave up after a few months.
app idea: create an application called Mr Roboto. It can do whatever you want. But when you want to quit/exit the application, instead of CMD+Q, you have to type “domo ariagato”
Here's an #idea for a statically generated #blog with Mastodon-powered #comments: instead of building, publishing the post on Mastodon and then adding it to the website, triggering another rebuild, here's what I think could work:
Run build
After build, check which posts don't have a Mastodon post associated with them
Use the #API to post about these blog posts automatically
Map the returned post-IDs to the URLs of the blog posts in an index
#please don't #forget to add me to one of your #lists. I'll probably want to #reach out to you again sometime. You need to keep #lists to be able to #register#posts of your #favorites. I'm #writing this for those who are used to their #feed filling itself. That's not the case here and for me that's a good thing. The feed doesn't have to be overwhelmed with #nonsense that some #algorithm assumes you care about.
