Hi geminauts,

Today i would like to announce the first true release of MastoGem.

As I announced before you can view the last toots from a Mastodon

profile, but you can also search for a tag, view a thread and view the

mentions and the tag of a toot.

I have made a docker image to make the deployment easier and if you want

help to deploy your own instance of MastoGem I can help you.

The software works fine and respect Gemini specs (I hope).

All the information about MastoGem is now here :

Romain.

So.... This only works with Mastodon, and Not ActivityPub servers in theFediverse such as Pleroma, Epicyon, Jejune, Misskey, PeerTube, Pixelfed,Friendica, etc.?

Or do you know if it works with some of them?

I ask because I finally manged to retire my Mastodon servers. It tookover a year to kick everyone off of them gracefully lol. I don't care anawful lot for Mastodon (Yet do maintain a couple of accounts on a coupleof Mastodon servers). The whole premise of Twitter's original 160 chars(Now Mastodon's default 500 char limit) just doesn't work for me and allof the clients splitting long posts across several different 'toots'makes it even worse.

Other ActivityPub servers enable actual Tuts, HowTos, Blogs andArticles, etc., something Mastodon is not well suited, nor intended for.As such, if one doesn't mind that resources it requires it's fine.

But a tool such as yours sounds awesome if it supports ActivityPubservers in General, especially Epicyon, Misskey, and Pleroma. The otherswould be a huge bonus, and fantastic news, but to me, Mastodon alonereally isn't the niche platform I'm looking to support in .gmi files.

Great work though, and your demo looks pretty awesome?

If it doesn't support Fediverse ActivityPub in general, or at least someof the one's I've mentioned above, and you're not adverse to workingtoward bringing that support, I can open an issue on your Gitea serveris you like and work diligently with you to bring such functionality :)

Again, I think MastoGem is a fantastic accomplishment!

Kindest regards,
