The current development focus lies on creating a supplement to the webclient, adding features and functionality, for creatives, that are missing there. Basic familiarity with the Fediverse is assumed.\nSystem requirements Fedimeister is available for Linux, Windows and MacOS. A Java 8 (or later) runtime environment is required to run the application.\nInstallation and setup Fedimeister comes as a single executable file. No Installation (apart from the Java runtime environment) is required."},{"title":"Read Me","link":"https:\/\/fedimeister.onyxbits.de\/documentation\/developer\/read-me\/","pubDate":"Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000","guid":"https:\/\/fedimeister.onyxbits.de\/documentation\/developer\/read-me\/","description":"Obtaining the source code Not yet released.\nBuilding the software Fedimeister is build, using Gradle.\nTo make a release, the version property must be given on the commandline.\nVersion scheme Fedimeister uses semantic versioning internally. However, since semantic versions are not very userfriendly, all release versions use a major.minor scheme that is derived from the semantic version by stripping all build\/release tags and “rounding the patch number up”, before cutting it off."},{"title":"Writing and publishing","link":"https:\/\/fedimeister.onyxbits.de\/documentation\/user\/composer\/","pubDate":"Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000","guid":"https:\/\/fedimeister.onyxbits.de\/documentation\/user\/composer\/","description":"Composer view Fedimeister is a Mastodon client with an emphasis on creating and publishing content. As such, it may come as a surprise that the default view is the composer window instead of a news feed. In fact, the later is not even implemented, yet. To follow feeds, manage your account, etc. you will still need to use the web interface. The development focus of Fedimeister is not to make a desktop version of, but a supplement for it, implementing functions, content creators might find useful."},{"title":"Spellchecking","link":"https:\/\/fedimeister.onyxbits.de\/documentation\/user\/spellchecking\/","pubDate":"Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000","guid":"https:\/\/fedimeister.onyxbits.de\/documentation\/user\/spellchecking\/","description":"Fedimeister uses Hunspell as its spellchecking engine. The software comes bundled with its own version of the library, but without any dictionaries.\nObtaining (additional) dictionaries If your system comes with either Hunspell or Open Office already installed, Fedimeister will automatically detect and uses the dictionaries of those software packages. Otherwise you need to manually download and place the dictionary files of your desired language in the 🖿dict\/ directory.\nA dictionary always consists of two files, one containing word stems, the other affixes, both are named by iso language and country code."},{"title":"Hashtags research","link":"https:\/\/fedimeister.onyxbits.de\/documentation\/user\/hashtags\/","pubDate":"Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000","guid":"https:\/\/fedimeister.onyxbits.de\/documentation\/user\/hashtags\/","description":"Fedimeister shows hashtag usage as numerical values. On Mastodon, hashtags play a vital role in content discovery. Without them, a new account, without any following, will effectively just shout into the void. Fedimeister offers some advanced features for finding good hashtags that are not available in the webclient.\nStatistics are presented as a table, showing the usage of individual tags over the course of the last week. By default, the first column represents today."},{"title":"Direct download link for Instagram's new 'Threads' Android app","link":"https:\/\/fedimeister.onyxbits.de\/blog\/threads-by-instagram-meta-facebook-direct-download-link-barcelona-android-app\/","pubDate":"Thu, 06 Jul 2023 13:17:26 +0200","guid":"https:\/\/fedimeister.onyxbits.de\/blog\/threads-by-instagram-meta-facebook-direct-download-link-barcelona-android-app\/","description":"Meta’s new microblogging app “Threads” (aka “Barcelona”) is not available on Google Play in Europe, due to the GDPR .

The easiest way to do this would have been to just apply the cut at the space before hitting the 500 character limit (or whatever the instance uses). But that would have inevitably resulted in a lot of sentences being ripped apart. So, instead of spaces, the algorithm currently looks for the following stop symbols: . , ; : ?"},{"title":"Fedimeister v1.0","link":"https:\/\/fedimeister.onyxbits.de\/releases\/fedimeister\/1-0\/","pubDate":"Thu, 06 Apr 2023 14:15:34 +0200","guid":"https:\/\/fedimeister.onyxbits.de\/releases\/fedimeister\/1-0\/","description":"First public release.\nThis is not a standalone Mastodon client (yet), but rather a supplement to the webclient.
