When you are dealing with an external API that returns JSON, do you put the results into a Struct (or your language's equivalent to Ruby's Struct)?

Can someone please point me to a resource that explains who sees a given post?The visibility (public, unlisted, etc) is pretty obvious. I am more curious about mentions in the post and how that affects who sees it. Does the position of mentions (eg the very first character is an @ followed by a legit username) impact who sees the post?Given replies (in_reply_to), new posts, visibility settings, mentions, and mention position there are a lot of combinations - looking for definitive rules.

@james that is helpful, thank you, but I'm looking to dig a little deeper. Especially on how mentioned accounts affect visibility of the posts.

@james let me come clean here and admit that my expected behavior is based on how Twitter handles this. Which is problematic. I will say that, even though it's a bit convoluted, I've come to appreciate the nuanced way Twitter handles it.

@james you're on the right track, but on TW if a Tweet starts with a handle it will be shown to that handle as well as followers who follow BOTH that handle and the Tweet author.But that is exactly the type of behavior I'm referring to.(This is why it's common to see tweets that start with a . followed by a handle. In that case the author wanted to reference the handle first, and alert them, but have the Tweet shown to all of the author's followers)

@james Thanks for the time and attention you put into this back and forth. All for a n00b who is wondering why Mastodon doesn't work more like Twitter 🤷🏻‍♂️.

@lauren @anubis2814 so I bought one in 2018. Still works well and meets my needs. It’s not like buying a MAGA hat: it didn’t carry the same baggage at that time. My next vehicle will be an EV but won’t be a Tesla.

@sam is starting a bike repair business in Smyrna, GA serving the Atlanta metro area. My wife just went on a 25 mile ride on her 15 year old Jami’s road bike after Sam tuned it up and replaced the drive train. She said it road like new!Great knowledge, superior workmanship, friendly service, and fair prices. I cannot give a higher recommendation.The Fedi community is large, but sparse. I’d really appreciate boosts so that cyclists near me have the best chance to see this.

They put these footprints on the grates in the sidewalks in downtown Calgary. I guess to show it’s safe to walk on them? I can’t say it’s on all the grates but I don’t remember seeing one without them.Edit: I’m embarrassed I didn’t think of this on my own, but @deirdrebeth pointed out these are very helpful for people wearing heels!

If you’re a GA resident and not headed to the polls today, you should. Turnout is low, which makes every vote matter more. There are 2 PSC districts on the ballot today for the primary.Candidate rundown here:https://decaturish.com/2025/05/the-decaturish-june-17-voters-guide-georgia-public-service-commission-seats-on-ballot/
