Using with Akkoma

[Andrmist]

Hi, How can I use this package to create an Akkoma bot? Akkoma has Mastodon API which I want to use, but masto.js gives an error due to different versions

TypeError: Invalid Version: 2.7.2 (compatible; Akkoma 3.3.0)

Hi @Andrmist Thank you for the report

I've never used Akkoma, but it seems your instance has returned "2.7.2 (compatible; Akkoma 3.3.0)" as their Mastodon version which is not a valid semver. Masto.js requires servers to provide version information for improving backward compatibility and offering more informative error messages.

I can provide an option to disable the version checking in another PR.

@Andrmist I published a new beta version that comes with an option to disable version checking. Could you verify the option suppresses the error? You can try it with:

npm install masto@4.5.0-rc1

And then

const masto = await login({ ..., disableVersionCheck: true });

Thanks, I'll try when I get home

It works like a charm! Thanks a lot for your work
