I created an app that allows you to find people from other Mastodon instances based on hashtags you both like.
It's still a bit buggy, I hacked it together in an hour - but it gets the job done.
@bitbraindev that's how you found me I suppose.
Why do you need write permission?
@vpol to follow people. However, it should only require write:follow
@vpol just double checked and indeed it asks for write, not just write:follow. I will fix this ASAP.
Thanks for reporting.
@bitbraindev @vpol Would it be possible to just ask for read initially and only ask for "write:follow" when someone requests it?
I'm hesitant to authorize an unknown creator's app to that access and would rather just follow people myself
@bitbraindev can I add my own instance to that thing?
@hp yes! Added it now, just for you. The dropdown allows custom input too that's now in the list
@bitbraindev
En pääse kirjautumaan. Kumpaa tässä halutaan - handlea vai ulkoista s.postia? Molempia pyydetään
@PirjaPaa can you translate this to English for me?
@bitbraindev
Sorry !
Don't know why I wrote in Finnish..
It's asking both for handle AND email to log on to your app. Can't seem to get access with either
@indieadvisor einige Leute haben das gleiche Problem. Werde das untersuchen!
@emergencygg that is definitely not what should happen, lol.
@bitbraindev ich schaffe es (in Firefox mobil) nicht, Hashtags einzugeben. Die Eingabe bleibt im Feld stehen und verwandelt sich nicht in Hashtags – gibt es eine Tasteneingabe (Beistrich, Enter,..) um das Ende eines Wortes/Hashtags zu forcen?
