What were you trying to do?

When I sign into my instance on a mastodon app, I notice that it shows every reply the people I follow make instead of what I have it set to, which is “Only show replies directed at me or users I’m following”

What did you expect to happen?

For the mastodon app to respect that setting

What actually happened?

It didn’t

Logs

No response

Severity

I cannot use it as easily as I'd like

(I don’t manage an instance, it’s just been annoying me for a bit so I wanted to make a bug report about it as a regular user)

There’s nothing Akkoma can do about this; the app needs to set the reply_visibility parameter to your desired option. Mastodon doesn’t have such a reply filtering feature, so it’s not too surprising a Mastodon-focused app doesn’t make use of it.

You could still ask the app developers to add support though. This should contain all relevant info: https://docs.akkoma.dev/stable/development/API/differences_in_mastoapi_responses/#timelines
