I've been pretty disheartened with my inability to make any headway on improving language support in #MFM for #Firefish after getting the docker container running so I've mostly been avoiding it. I finally found someone else who got so fed up with the only config options being in babel that they hardcoded languages to import. I'm excited to say that I was able to mimic what they did well enough that at least something works.
It's about the tiny victories. This isn't scalable, doesn't use the tools that I'll ultimately need to figure out, and wouldn't be accepted by sane people if I pushed it but at least I'm not on step 4 anymore.
Me, looking at the post Chris mentions, having disabled MFM animations and running some custom CSS to keep everything at x1 size. And all I see is my own personal bliss. π Yeah, I find MFM animations and swirling large text quite overwhelming.
Turn of MFM animations & stick the following code in your custom CSS area of the settings:
im aware of one important bug still with my mastodon #MFM implementation- I haven't actually seen it happen (just cause I haven't tried yet cause I'm trying to finally take a break) but having written the code I'm very confident the bug exists, but I also know how I can solve it. The parsing implementation is pretty much feature complete to my knowledge though.
I'm not sure about making a PR cause I don't know if glitch-soc wants this, and even if they do I'm not super confident in my code cause I've not written ruby before this. It also needs the ability to play MFM rather than having all animations play by default (This is very important.) and I should also probably have it support posting MFM rather than just viewing it. I could just make a draft PR so others can look at it but idk I'm feeling shy about it lol. I'll do it but it could be a bit longer
Being able to export my social graph on the Fediverse from Mastodon, then import it into on an entirely different service like Calckey without having to start over has broken my brain.
There really isn't a walled garden on the Fediverse! Adding my Mastodon followers worked flawlessly. I could even import my lists! Rebuilding my content filter rules is a bit of a daunting task best left for some other time. I'm going to enjoy this for a bit.
The enhanced features of MFM posting seem very nice too. A post preview to prevent formatting mistakes? Markdown language with custom emoji? 3k character count? Reactions? All Sweet. I also appreciate being able to add hashtags in their own space without having to insert them throughout the post. It makes texts much easier to read.
Here's a car having blobcats as tyres because why not. Don't worry, they're fine, just a little dizzy.
I actually wanted to make a washing machine with a blobcat inside, saying something like "Take care of your blobcat. Only wash at 30Β°C max." but apparently there's no washing machine emoji.

Take care of your blobcat. Pet it regularly and wash at 30 Β°C max.
