| 18:18:14 |  dazinism | lotus_hotdogs: sounds like Hubzilla may be worth checking out. |
| 18:18:24 | dazinism | For you |
| 18:24:51 | dazinism | It has a calendar 'app', which may give something like Facebook event functionality - not very familiar with each so cant give you an assessment |
| 18:40:47 | dazinism | Looks like creating an event in the calendar also creates a post in your home page, which can accept comments, emoji, I'm attending/not attending etc. |
| 18:49:03 | dazinism | Possibly only folks with an account on a hubzilla (and maybe zap?) instance will be able to interact. |

| 14:39:03 |  hankg | That's one of the problems with any of these event systems, including Facebook, you have to have an account... |

Hopefully federation features of mobilizon & hubzilla can make it so that theres more folks that will already have an account that allows them to 'interact' with the event page without needing to register |

| 00:23:19 | lrizika | Hi all. Just started looking into Mastodon, was wondering if I'm missing something - is there a way to get a local ID from a username without authenticating? |
| 00:24:24 | lrizika | The reverse is at the /api/v1/accounts endpoint |
| 00:27:39 | lrizika | Specifically, as a beginner to the ecosystem I'm just trying to take a username input and get the publicly-available statuses via the api. I'm assuming it's doable, given the same info is publicly visible on most instances via the browser, but I can't seem to find out that one step. |
| 00:27:59 | lrizika | Let me know if I should be asking in another room. |

Can't you just open the network tab of dev tools and search for the calls in the API docs? |

Can't you just open the network tab of dev tools and search for the calls in the API docs? Unfortunately, no - the frontend is a Ruby app built into Mastodon, which doesn't hit the API. (Sorry if what I mean is unclear, I'm pulling a blank on terminology right now - all the processing/data grabbing is done on the backend, via different means than the API, so it can get stuff the API doesn't have permissions for.) |
| 20:25:42 | lrizika | Also, as an update regarding my original question: Looks like this was broken in 2017, see #4588 |
| 20:32:07 | lrizika | I might be wrong about the backend not hitting the API, I'm not able to find docs about that, and I'm not familiar at all with Ruby to check myself. |
