New little feature on bird.makeup this weekend: the account page will now display the number of followers a user has, and also in which server that account is the most popular.

Hope this will help users find more niche servers that host the communities they want to be part of! Also if you are on a server like mastodon.social that bans bird.makeup and you want to move, this is now my recommended way to find a new home

Current state of the bird.makeup server:

With the profile functionality of bird.makeup, I made sure that replicated accounts would be displayed as bots. Unfortunately, my main iOS client @ivory and @icecubesapp@mastodon.cloud don’t display it at all, just the web does. I think displaying more prominently the bots status would really help the platform!

(Sorry for my French too) #MastoDev

There is some action on #Ethereum these days!

Bird.makeup will now replicate retweets as boosts in a way that feels very native to the fediverse.

My project is trending on the orange site 😱

They chose to highlight writing LinkedIn posts with their new AI as one of the main use-case lol

So I have made the switch on bird.makeup to native links for QT so that @icecubesapp@mastodon.cloud can display them as a QT. Weirdly they work as a link that stays within the app but they don't display the QT itself when the post come from bird.makeup.

Still an improvement, but is there someone working on icecube that can help get it perfect?

So @icecubesapp@mastodon.cloud supports QT at the client level. If I tweak bird.makeup to add a native link instead of twitter I get QT support for basically free, but only in that client for now.

Interesting!

If you were a user of tweetbot and sad to see it go, you can replicate the same setup with @ivory (by the maker of tweetbot) + https://bird.makeup/ to follow any twitter user from mastodon.

Graph looks dramatic too!

Small tweak on bird.makeup to better display what to expect performance-wise

The main bottleneck I have right now is fetching tweets, but not posting them, so if you follow the accounts that are the most popular, it won't slow down things at all 👇
