Obviously not this track alone, but I thought this picture was absolutely gorgeous. The rest of the tour was no less beautiful

Sometimes an API request returns {"comments":[]} and {"posts":[]} respectively, for a post and community, where posts and comments show up on the web frontend. Is that happening to any of you too? How do I handle it?

Edit: did some more testing, it's most definitely a federation issue. If I query the instance that the post was made on for the comments, everything works fine. If I query my home instance, the result comes back empty.

Edit 2: As always, just after publicly showcasing my lack of programming abilities, I discover it's been me the entire time. Make sure to await promises and to fetch posts from the correct instance, guys.

As a fun project, I started developing an Android app for myself a few weeks ago, because I already missed Boost for Reddit, even though it's still usable. So I took Boost as an inspiration and started working. It's come quite far and I have decided to publish it on Google Play, in case others feel the same way. It's still lacking some features, most notably the ability to see when someone sent you a message or replied to your comments, as well as the ability to create posts, but for casual lurking it's already quite nice I think. It will hit Play Store in a fews days.

Not that I have anything against stackexchange (yet), but it seems like the perfect example of a site that could be set up in the fediverse. Different stackexchange-networks could be set up as different instances. Seems too obvious of an idea that nobody has done it yet
