@nprofile…zmk4 is there an up-to-date list of which parts of the Mastodon API snac2 supports? I can adjust Pachli so it disables functionality known not to work when connecting to a snac2 server.

#Pachli Current now highlights the hashtags you follow. Within a post any hashtags you follow are shown in bold. The info area above a post shows a hash-marker and the first followed tag in the post.
This helps answer the "Why is this post in my timeline?" question.
The attached screenshot shows an example with the #mastodev hashtag.
Thanks to @nprofile…98tx, @nprofile…mk03, and @nprofile…rqt9 for the suggestions about this.

Hi folks -- according to the analytics on https://pachli.app (umami.is, "No cookies, no tracking across sites, no personal data collection"), roughly 5% of this account's followers click through to read the release notes for each release.
If you're one of the 95% who isn't reading the release notes, and you have a bit of time, could you provide feedback on why you don't? I'd like them to be useful, and they highlight everyone else who has contributed to each release.

@nprofile…8fvp Hmm, this is two problems.
1. Pachli should not be showing the translation menu option on fedifreu.de because the server can't translate. That's a Pachli bug, I've noted it at https://github.com/pachli/pachli-android/issues/2173. Thanks for raising this.
2. The 503 error from anoxinon means the server is rejecting the translation request. That's definitely a problem that @nprofile…2vgg will need to investigate (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Status/503)

2026-03-19 11:00:03 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…8fvp Getting back to your original question -- if translation is failing on anoxinon.de Pachli should show an error message at the bottom of the screen when that happens. What does that say / can you send a screenshot? That will help understand the problem.

2026-03-19 10:43:13 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…8fvp That's absolutely fine. As the blog post notes:
> While the library is free to use it is not open source. As some Pachli users may want to avoid proprietary libraries this feature is not present on Pachli installed from F-Droid or GitHub. If this is you then you can skip the rest of this section.
That's why Pachli gives you the choice of where to install from.
To forestall the next question: I was unable to find an open source library with similar functionality that worked reliably.

2026-03-19 10:33:28 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…8fvp @nprofile…2vgg What error does Pachli report with your social.anoxinon.de account?
https://fedifreu.de (if that's the other server you mean) doesn't support server-side translation. Tusky doesn't support on-device translation, so if you want to use translation on fedifreu.de you'll need to use Pachli's on-device translation support (https://pachli.app/pachli/2025/08/28/2.16.0-release.html#support-on-device-translation-if-installed-from-google-play, only available if Pachli is installed from Google Play).

2026-03-19 10:14:40 UTC

@nprofile…8fvp How are the Pachli translation settings configured (https://pachli.app/pachli/2025/08/28/2.16.0-release.html#support-on-device-translation-if-installed-from-google-play)?
If "How to translate" is set to "Server only" it's possible your server is having an issue with their translation service. /cc @nprofile…2vgg in case they need to investigate.

The latest #Pachli Current (3.4.0+29a96332) is rolling out now with some notification improvements
1. Notifications about a post will always include the "action bar" under the post so you can reply, bookmark, quote, etc directly from the notifications view.
2. #accessible #talkback actions have been added, and the descriptions have been improved to provide a better experience.
Thanks to @nprofile…hygc, @nprofile…hun7 , and @nprofile…v6z5 for the feedback that prompted these changes.

As ever, thanks everyone for #Pachli feedback and bug reports.
I'm travelling until the end of January, so while the January release will happen, I expect it will only include the hard work of all the people who have contributed new and updated translations.
If you would like to help translate Pachli into your language, see https://github.com/pachli/pachli-android/blob/main/docs%2Fcontributing%2Ftranslate.md
Work on feature requests and bug reports will resume in February.

@nprofile…su47 I haven't I'm afraid. Do you happen to remember if there was anything specific about the post?
E.g., is it a new post, or a reply? Are you doing something that might trigger the autocomplete function (typing a hashtag, or mentioning a user)?
Also, are you able to try Pachli Current, and see if that has the same behaviour? If it does it might prompt you to send a crash report.

2025-12-12 23:15:50 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…su47 There's a "Load newest posts" item in the menu. There's a preference you can change that makes that the default behaviour when you tap a tab.

This is two different things.
1. I'm not at all sure how the Bluesky quote in your first screenshot worked at all. My understanding is that it wouldn't.
/cc @nprofile…sp8c who can talk more knowledgeably about this than I can.
Ryan, the post in the first screenshot is https://mastodon.social/deck/@alexvoronov.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy/115606797902394808.
2. The post from Threads doesn't contain a quote, as far as Mastodon is concerned, so there's nothing to display.

2025-11-25 16:37:31 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…hh88 This is to do with how the Bluesky bridge works I think.
There was some discussion about this in the three comments starting at https://github.com/pachli/pachli-android/issues/1801#issuecomment-3562858386.
tl;dr: The Bluesky bridge doesn't implement Mastodon's quote post yet.

2025-11-23 16:50:03 UTC

The "Display pronouns" feature in #Pachli Current now has a preference setting.
The default behaviour is to show the pronouns (if present) when replying to a post, and in the autocomplete results when writing/replying to a post.
I expect this gives the best default balance of usability without overloading the user with too much information.
If you want to see pronouns everywhere you can enable that. And if your language doesn't have gendered pronouns you can turn off the pronoun display.

2025-11-21 12:12:37 UTC

The new #Pachli Current supports #quoteposts notifications. You'll see if someone quoted one of your posts, or if a post you quoted has been edited.
Work in progress:
- Detatch #quotes of your posts from other people's posts.
- UI to manage your quote-related preferences.
- Writing posts that quote other posts.

@nprofile…hh88 Not your fault, this looks like @nprofile…rmag bug https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/issues/11995.
The `<` in the start and end tags in those strings are supposed to be written as HTML entities, so `<`, as they are in the original English.
E.g., line 126 of https://github.com/pachli/pachli-android/blob/main/core/ui/src/main/res/values-fi/strings.xml
But the Weblate UI doesn't show that to you, so there's no way for you to know.
Looks like many translated strings have that problem, so I'll (a) perform a bulk fix, and (b) write a lint check to prevent these in the future.

@nprofile…7645 Could you write a bit more about why you would find that useful?

As part of refactoring work to make implementing quote posts easier, #Pachli Current is rolling out with UX improvements when you interact with posts, especially favourite or boost.
Previously, the icon would change, but the associated count wouldn't. So you could have a post that was boosted but showed 0 boosts. Now the number changes as soon as you press the button. When the boost completes on your server the post is also updated to reflect it's latest data.

2025-06-12 17:21:32 UTC

Do you use lists?
Today's #Pachli Current release improves their usability by remembering your reading position in the list, similarly to how it behaves on the Home and Notifications timelines.
Lists can be a great way to move content from some people you follow out of your home timeline and into a dedicated space, and of course, each list can be added to its own tab.

2025-06-06 08:51:17 UTC

> I post in multiple languages and would prefer not to litter people's timelines with stuff they can't read
As long as you set the language correctly, people can choose which language(s) they want to see when they follow you.
That's not exposed in the Pachli UI yet, it needs to be done in the web UI.

2025-05-28 20:59:16 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…tsy4 @nprofile…uuja @nprofile…h5n0 It's doable, but there's a risk of false-positives / false-negatives, because people aren't generally great at marking the language in their posts correctly.
The language detection Pachli already does can help, but it's also imprecise on short messages. That's OK for the language check when writing a post, but if it's filtering your timeline it could easily exclude stuff that you should have seen.

@nprofile…tsy4 @nprofile…uuja @nprofile…h5n0 Not sure what you mean about improved language filtering?
Do you mean filtering out posts from your home timeline, depending on the language they're written in?

2025-05-11 23:09:15 UTC

#Pachli Current users - as ever, thanks for testing. Today's release modifies the code that figures out where you're going when you open Pachli, and which account to use. This clears up some technical debt and paves the way for an "Account management" screen, coming soon.
If you use multiple accounts you'll notice the splash screen appears when you switch accounts so the UI doesn't flicker as the new account data is loaded.
Everything else should behave the same. Please shout if it doesn't.

@nprofile…n6sp It's marginally narrower, because of the image next to it. There's some padding around the text that can probably be removed, and the design still feels a bit too busy -- the information:pixel ratio in the design feels too low.

2025-05-04 15:53:29 UTC

It's been a rainy day in Zurich, so I had a free hour to prototype some changes to how media is attached to posts in #Pachli.
What do we think?

@nprofile…fn2v Second problem, " 'load newest posts' is intermittently non functioning".
What does "non-functioning" mean here?
No new posts appear? There's a check for new posts that never stops (i.e., the blue progress bar toward the top of the screen never disappears)? Something else?

2025-04-08 18:40:16 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…fn2v ok. First problem, "I can't share images now".
Are you writing a post in Pachli and adding an image as an attachment? Or are you opening an image in another app, using that app's "Share" option, and then choosing Pachli as the app to share to?
In either case, what, exactly, happens when you do that?

2025-04-08 17:04:28 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…fn2v Sorry to hear about the problems.
1. Are any error messages shown?
2. Do you see the same problems on your server with the web app, or any other client?

- reply

@nprofile…tsy4 @nprofile…h5n0 1st point will be fixed with https://github.com/pachli/pachli-android/pull/1445, thanks for flagging that.
Re the sorting -- it's sorted by popularity in search results and autocompleting when writing a post. But if you're looking at your list of followed tags I think it's better if they're alphabetical, so the sort is stable every time you open the screen (and you can predict where in the list a new tag will appear when added).
And yes, always new strings to translate :-)

Did you know that #Mastodon 4.2.0 introduced additional search filters?
You can add text like "from:me", "has:media", "is:reply", or "language:de" to your search text to limit the results further.
That's not very user friendly, so we can do better.
Here's a user-interface change I'm iterating on for the next version of #Pachli.

2024-07-02 20:10:18 UTC

The feature to warn you if your posting-language setting does not appear to match the language you've written is rolling out to #Pachli Current now.
As mentioned in the original thread this uses ML Kit on some devices, which necessitates a change to the Pachli privacy policy.
The new policy is updated in the app and on the website, and I've written https://pachli.app/pachli/2024/07/02/privacy-policy.html to provide additional context.

2024-07-01 11:00:43 UTC

Mastodon expects you to accurately set the language of your post before posting.
There are real-world accessibility problems if you set it incorrectly, including:
(a) Mastodon's translation feature may not work correctly
(b) when people follow you they can opt-in to only receive posts you send in a particular language. If you mis-label the language of your posts you may be inadvertently spamming your followers.
