Mastodon: Edit posts, view post edits #575

Open vaschw opened 1 year ago

vaschw commented 1 year ago

First, I'll say: I tried 5 apps for Mastodon and this is the only one that saves drafts properly when offline. Kudos for a job well done.

My issue: Mastodon posts can be "Edited" by other apps such as Tusky. I do not see a way to do that in AndStatus. Am I missing something?

Another (probably related) issue: If I edit a post in Tusky AFTER AndStatus downloads the post from the server, then the edit is never reflected in the timeline shown in AndStatus (even after re-synchronizing with server).

Does AndStatus support post edits at all?

Thanks.

Mastodon didn't allow editing posts at the time I implemented its support in AndStatus. So AndStatus doesn't have an option to edit Mastodon type Notes (as it can for Pump.io and ActivityPub). We need to review Mastodon API changes and add this feature.

BTW do you want to implement this?

I suspected this might be the case, since it looks like the functionality was added to Mastodon sometime around 2022.

I am sorry to say that I do not have the software skills to assist on this! But it would be a great feature to have.
