@adora @cleo @puniko no, they actively block non-mastodon, that's not a "we didn't get to it issue" it's really a "we don't want you to use this with anything else than Mastodon

@MiaWinter @adora @cleo @puniko This couldn't be further from the truth. Ivory currently is based off of Tweetbot which is built upon the notion that posts have unique numeric ID's. Any system that uses alphanumeric ID's currently just don't work in Ivory on a technical level. We have to put a lot of time to get that to work correctly and we will be looking into it when we do have more time.

@MiaWinter @adora @cleo @puniko Why would we not want more users using our app? It makes no sense just to limit our app to Mastodon if it was easy to allow other services to work. The fact is, we just don't have the time and resources to fix every problem at once. We have a million things on our plate and only 1 developer that can work on these things. All we want to do is make the best product we can that as many people possible can enjoy using it. But it's going to take us time.

@MiaWinter @adora @cleo @puniko No they don’t block those things. Pleroma, Akkoma, Rebased don’t 100% comply with the Mastodon v1 API. They’re tackling the most popular platform first (Mastodon), then they’ll get to us. You have plenty of client options like Toot! And MetaText. Ivory will get there in time.

@chidgey @cleo "no they don't block those things" *the app has literally a popup that says "no i only accept mastodon"*

And as already pointed out in this thread, the reason stuff doesn't work with Ivory is because they falsely assume id's are stringified ints, which is not the mastodon spec, so while all of these work on many other mastodon apps, they don't work on ivory

@MiaWinter @cleo I think the issue is our interpretation of the word “block”. There are dictionaries for this purpose. Either way I look forward to being able to use Ivory in future with my Pleroma SUI, but I’m patient and am happy to wait.
