reply with features and bug fixes you’d like to see in Philthy, the lemmy fork that runs on this instance. no guarantees I’ll get to any of them soon, but particularly low-hanging fruit and well-liked features can be prioritized.

        i can’t even find the code, so … my psychic powers tell me it’s the most basic thing like probably the DB’s inbuilt text search

          is it this (which appears to be the repo for the treehouse.systems operations), or is there a mastodon search feature/entity also called treehouse (and thus is not this)?

            yeah that’s Treehouse. it’s a mastodon fork that doesn’t bother trying to upstream any more because Eugen is that kind of lead dev

            also I hadn’t previously looked at the source of a masto repo and … jesus

              I keep wanting to sit down and find the time to go through the impls and see which I want to run (because I want to move my main off masto.social), and … ugh. I hope not everything is this kind of thing

                  the go-to small Mastodon-compatible software is Akkoma which is written in fucking erlang

                    you’re telling me I could’ve been writing erlang this whole time?

                    I will cop to still running ejabberd (going on 8~10y? e: ah, more like 14y) so maybe I’ve already sinned enough to not hurt too much doing this
