Sorry, something went wrong.
- fix for a bug in supports.js that compares version number to regexes based on software backend name - functionality to allow users on a GoToSocial instance to select "Local Instance Public" and "Local Instance Unlisted" options for Visibility in composer - both options send their specified visibility, but with the local_only bool parameter set to true
- local posting is now specified with a different dropdown and has two options, federated and local-instance - removed Local Instance Public and Local Instance Unlisted options from Visibility dropdown - local posting control behaves like visibility wrt content warning control
- if replying to another post, the localOnly value is copied from the post being replied to
- Local Instance is more confusing generally than Local, the additional detail is not helpful
- Rebased on main and then rebuilt and this file was modified

This is great! Is this fork of yours public, by any chance? |
Sorry, something went wrong.
Yes! Though I hadn't expected this to languish here so long, it sat so long we need to update it to merge it back in. Not sure how that process works here, tbh. https://github.com/Zarex/phanpy-local-only/tree/local-posting |

I think we just wait for the maintainer to review :P |

I have the feeling that @cheeaun might think this is too niche (which it seems to be) for implementation. Nothing wrong with forking with those changes, of course. |
Sorry, something went wrong.

@Fastidious I mean there's still other Mastodon-like servers that support this. Hometown and Glitch I believe |
Sorry, something went wrong.

Hometown uses the same approach, yes. Glitch uses the 'magic emoji' approach. |
Sorry, something went wrong.
no longer compiles when applied to main :(
This is a feature that will allow people on GoToSocial to use Local-Only posting. Forgive me if this PR has missing stuff, as this is our first contribution to Phanpy. Note that I can't take credit for this PR or the code changes, but I have permission from the author to submit this PR.
Note that this same implemention should also work for Hometown, as both GoToSocial and Mastodon-Hometown do local-only posting the same way (Mastodon Glitch is a little different), however it was only enabled for GTS as we were only able to test it with GTS.
We have a version of this code running at https://1sland.social.

Compose
If you reply to a Local-Only post, the reply will select 'Local' rather than 'Federated' by default, so that users using Phanpy will automatically carry forward the local-only post settings for their replies.
