@ivory Hey, love your app! I have an issue with notifications, though: they don’t work on the Akkoma instance I’m using. I remember there were some issues with Akkoma on the very beginning of Ivory, but do they still persist?

@ivory (CC @domi) By the way, the error I'm seeing is unexpected field: types., but I don't have the energy to diff Akkoma's proto vs Mastodon's

@lukasz the difference is that Mastodon uses numerical IDs, and akkoma has strings, and @ivory refuses to support both.

please enjoy this mitmproxy plugin I wrote a year ago for testing for this exact purpose:
f.sakamoto.pl/thing-that-makes-your-akkoma-into-mastodon.py (damn i knew this would come in handy later in my journey)

@lukasz see tapbots.social/@ivory/110429661893146825 for their shoddy reasoning

@kitten @lukasz ikr? this boggles my mind, it’s maybe an evening worth of effort unless your codebase is C (or worse, C++). paid app btw.

@domi @lukasz @kitten well, tbf, I could see ways in which it could actually be difficult, but those would imply some... uhm... "interesting" architectural assumptions, which would make the system prone to some very "fun" bugs.

If it is indeed such a major hassle, with ramifications across the codebase, then I'm quite sure I wouldn't want to touch that code.

@domi @kitten I don't mind paying for an app if the UX is good. I honestly have a big aversion to apps designed by programmers that don't have much interest in ergonomics and never considered how people other than themselves might use the app. UX designers cost money, but I'm happy to pay for that.

That being said, lack of notifications is a pretty bad UX in this case.

@lukasz @kitten yeah my point wasn't that it was a bad thing to pay for it, more that last I checked they seemed hostile to non-masto servers. I stand entirely corrected!
