@hongminhee Several platforms have extensions or variations of the mastodon api that I try to accommodate, but it depends how well they're documented (gotosocial, mitra, pleroma, akkoma) or if it's not too hard to glean from the source (neodb, pixelfed) and, not least important, if I have a test account to try them out.

@fedicat That's fair. I know other platforms extend the Mastodon API, but I've been reluctant to do the same. It doesn't feel like a surface that's meant to be extended, and I'd rather not pile more non-standard behavior on top of an API that's already a moving target.

@hongminhee Yeah, and it seems to me the Mastodon API has evolved with a willful ignorance of what other platforms have added, e.g. when they added a quote post field they clobbered the quote post extension already added by other platforms.
