My Mastodon Wishes
Everyone has a complaint list about Mastodon, so I should write down my own. More importantly, I should consider whether such changes can/must be implemented at the level of app/flavor, instance, client, or add-on (cf Fediverse).
Search: probably layers of desire
- my toots
- others' toots that I retoot/favorite/bookmark
- others' toots in threads I retoot/favorite/bookmark (e.g. if I do that to 1 toot in a thread, I save the entire thread before/after that)
- all toots from others I follow
- all toots containing a certain link/url
- all toots on my instance
- all toots in the fediverse
Account migration: probably layers
- bring my lists of followers
- auto-forward scans of my old feed to my new feed
- redirect old toot-URLs to new (unrealistic)
- static archive of my toots on an instance that's gone/dead
- post my past toots to new instance
- ??
Single/global account: increase findability across instances/services
Quote-Toots: I don't care much
Things I care about for other people
Easier comparing/picking of instances and clients.
