collect duplicate retoots

Open keineantwort opened this issue 7 months ago • 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When I am catching up my Timeline, I am reading the same Toot several times, because many of the people I am following, retoot the same stuff.

Describe the solution you'd like An option in the settings, that retoots are displayed just once. May be at the Toot it could be displayed everybody who retooted it.

Describe alternatives you've considered Just leave it as it is, and read the same toot again and again.

Additional context

There's a Mastodon setting for this. Open your account in your web browser open the "Preferences" section, select "Other", and then check "Group boosts in timelines".

Mastodon doesn't provide an API for this, so I can't show this option in Pachli I'm afraid.

Hm. too sad it does not collapse boosts in the client. :( Isn't there any way to identify already shown toots locally? Maybe by collecting hash values of shown toots? 🤔

Once you've enabled the option on your server then it will de-duplicate the posts before they reach Pachli.
