@sj_zero Hmm. What do you mean? Did I make some mistake here?

You said "testing", so I'm assuming you're making a test post, and part of test posting would be seeing if such a post federates.

I've got a lot of stuff I hope is federating properly, but in spite of being not too lazy to make it, I'm still too lazy to make accounts on other sites to see if it's working.

@sj_zero Ahhh got it! Thank you. =) I thought I'd done something wrong. I'm testing the limits of vibe coding, and for some reason it seems like mastodon clients is something that AI:s are fairly good at.

If you think about it, such a client is really ideal for an AI: There's a very well defined specification that it needs to match.

One thing with newer versions of mastodon is that it supports websockets for communications as well as the legacy APIs. That was one feature I brought over into unfathomably because it made sense on an app side but also as the link between the front end and back end.

@sj_zero I wonder if mastodon is also a favourite among open source coders, and as such, has a relatively large code base that has been vacuumed up by AIs?
