First thing I wanted to explore is porting the twitter algo to the fediverse: https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm
(And all experiments would be opt-in, so your experience can stay vanilla mastodon if that is what you wish)
So I've been optimizing the number of calls I make to twitter this week ( https://git.sr.ht/~cloutier/bird.makeup/log ) and the error rate has been going down a lot.
It seems the user endpoint is the only one rated limited, so all the errors left are coming from that. You'll see that when looking at a profile or when trying to follow.
Still have many ideas on how I could optimize this further
Seems like the meme is happening for real!
bird.makeup builds are green again! https://builds.sr.ht/~cloutier/job/1022042
Still some errors right now related to rate limiting, but it is catching up to what it missed since the login wall
Upgraded my @ivory sub to yearly from monthly.
I’m ready for this to be a long term relationship
