If you were thinking of auto-deleting your old toots I have good news - I made a thing for you (me): https://github.com/hughrun/ephemetoot
@hugh hey hugh, do you want me to take a stab at implementing the rate limit error? I probably couldn't get to it until late in the week though
@ocertat now that I've thought about it a bit more I'm not really happy with error handling generally. If I make some changes this weekend would you be happy to review them?
@hugh of course
@ocertat hmm so I've been doing some testing and it looks like the mastodon module automatically takes care of rate limiting (see https://mastodonpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#a-note-about-rate-limits). Still testing but I'm tending to the conclusion that it's actually better *not* to try to deal with rate limits explicitly.
@hugh huh, that's neat. I didn't know mastodon.py did that!
@ocertat I thought I could just assign you as a reviewer but I don't seem to be able to do so. Do you mind looking at this? https://github.com/hughrun/ephemetoot/pull/9
@hugh sure! I glanced at it now but can run some tests this evening
If you're using ephemetoot, you probably should update:
https://github.com/hughrun/ephemetoot/releases/tag/v1.2.0
Version 1.2.0 includes a test mode @ocertat created (thanks Mark) and also now complies with the new(ish) API rate limit of 30 deletions per 30 minutes.
