Suggestion regarding Mastodon API key #1

Closed hardpenguin closed 10 months ago

The userscript UI asks for the API key instead of the access token. The instructions on the greasyfork.org explain that but not in detail. The matter is complicated by the fact this is how those fields are grouped in the Mastodon default interface:

As a result, I only managed to succeed by inputting the right configuration on the third try.

Works like a charm on the latest Firefox + Linux + Violentmonkey! Thanks!

Well, the "placerholder" previously said "Mastodon API Key (access token)", and the README explained in detail that you have to enter an access token and how to get it. But to prevent any confusion, I now changed the placeholder text to "Mastodon Access Token".
