Feditext

Feditext beta users: today's version 1.7.2 build 97 includes experimental support for Pixelfed instances, and is recommended for anyone with a Pixelfed account.

some bugs are expected. there's one currently known: deleting a status will succeed but result in an error, so deleting and redrafting is not currently possible. please file any other issues on our GitHub issue tracker.

@dan Misskey doesn't implement the Mastodon API. there are forks like Iceshrimp and Sharkey that have attempted it, and in fact we do have partial support for Iceshrimp.

however, Iceshrimp is headed for a big rewrite, and Sharkey hasn't really been stable enough to work with, even before the main dev quit. so we'll likely revisit those two in the future.

@Feditext@mastodon.social sounds good. I am on a Sharkey instance, so I will be eagerly waiting. (I typically ask about Misskey because it avoids the "oh is Sharkey the Misskey fork dujour" comments LOL)
