Wait a minute... if it's a toot on Mastodon, what is it if you access the Fediverse via GoToSocial?

I saw Feditext mentioned as an iOS client that worked well with GoToSocial, so got it installed via TestFlight, and it does work well!

Apparently it's a fork of the old Metatext app. It's nice! It also still lets you swap the default post button's label from "Toot" to "Post", so I guess that's what we'll go with.

Goot was all I could come up with, and it sounded kind of goofy anyway 🤣

PS: This post was from semaphore on my desktop system. It's also nice!

Since #gts now has push notifications, what apps are supporting it? #feditext does send the notifications but there’s double notifications and no real updates to the app in a while.

IceCubes is my go to for mastodon but isn’t pushing notifications for my GoToSocial account.

Feditext beta users: today's version 1.7.2 build 130 adds support for push notifications from GoToSocial instances.

you will need to be running a development version of GTS 0.18 with this patch applied <github.com/superseriousbusines>, or wait for the *next* release candidate (0.18.0rc1 doesn't have it) or the 0.18.0 release proper.

users of other instance servers don't need to update.

@gotosocial users excited about Web Push notifications (my pet feature) should watch these issues for full support in their favorite clients:

GitHubPush notification type checkboxes incorrect for GotoSocial, possibly others · Issue #1032 · cheeaun/phanpyBy VyrCossont

Feditext beta users: today's version 1.7.2 build 126 now supports editing posts on GotoSocial 0.18 (already supported for most other Fedi servers).

since GtS 0.18 is still in development, this release is recommended for advanced GtS users only: you need to explicitly set a version like 0.18.0-dev while building GtS for Feditext to detect and enable 0.18 features.

users of current GtS or other servers don't need to update to today's Feditext release.

Vor sechs Tagen gab es ein „neues“ TestFlight-Release von #Feditext.
Das Projekt ist also (noch) nicht ganz tot.
Aber seit Monaten hat praktisch keine Entwicklung mehr stattgefunden und die Issues stapeln sich.

Minimal Hoffnung habe ich noch. Aber gut sieht das nicht aus …

#Feditext has another annoying bug: apparently, it’s not possible to add alt text to pictures afterwards.

Sadly, #IceCubesApp has a similar issue and while you can add an alt text afterwards, you cannot do it for multiple pictures.
And if you have a policy that prevents posting without alt text, this will prevent you from adding alt text one by one, essentially making it similarly impossible impossible to add alt text.
