@aelaraji@aelaraji.com yes it’s because of the advertised nickname in the feed. The spec actually doesn’t allow this and ysrnd implements the spec pretty closely really.

In-reply-to » I think we are live now. I dont have any corporate, or fediverse, socials right now and I dont think I will. This will be a record rather than something that I expect people to see.

Hmmm I’m a little concerned, as I’m seeing quite a few feeds I follow in an error state:

I’m not so concerned with the 15x context deadline exceeded but more concerned with:

aelaraji@aelaraji.com  Unfollow (6 twts, Last fetched 5m ago with error:
dead feed: 403 Forbidden
x4 times.)

And:

anth@a.9srv.net  Unfollow (1 twts, Last fetched 5m ago with error:
Get "http://a.9srv.net/tw.txt": dial tcp 144.202.19.161:80: connect: connection refused
x3733 times.)

Hmmm, maybe the stats are a bit off? 🤔

In-reply-to » Today I'm looking into flutter again, I've been wanting to test that out for a while. I started adding functionality from the 'yarn desktop client' ( https://github.com/stig-atle/YarnDesktopClient ) I've been working on - and now I see if I can get the same functionality up and running with flutter. Currently I'm able to log in and fetch the logged in user's username at least (the text :username: is fetched after logging in), so it's a good start. That means I have the things I need to fetch the timeline and present that next.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no I can help with nacIS builds
