sometimes I want a filter that merely removes a topic from my home timeline and moves it into a timeline of its own that I can interact with at a different pace than my home timeline. a subject I want to contain and address after reflection, maybe, or when my blood pressure is low enough, or what have you. maybe I want to be able to make that topic only refresh in clients on request rather than by push.
every time I toot something like this another grain of sand falls onto the balance plate of the scale labeled "sundog builds a fedi client".
I have discovered it's all doable using the Mastodon API.
@djsundog heh i know that feeling. i would love to see a fedi client that was built around plugins, so you could implement stuff like this without having to write everything
@bunnyhero I have stared the yak named fedi client construction kit in the eye for so long it feels like a lifetime now but every time I reach for the clippers it gives me a chilling look that forces me back to the staredown
