Let's see if this doesn't annoy me. I'm not huge excited about any Mastodon client though.

(provide 'cce/mastodon)here's a package override for my Emacs home-manager installation which uses a more-up-to-date fork:
mastodon = epkgs.melpaPackages.mastodon.overrideAttrs(old: {
src = pkgs.callPackage pkgs.lib.pkgVersions.mastodon {};
propagatedBuildInputs = old.buildInputs ++ [epkgs.request epkgs.persist];
});List Timelines in Mastodon.el
This uses the Mastodon.el API to fetch the lists, select one, and display it in a buffer.
(defun mastodon-tl--show-list-timeline (&optional list-name)
(interactive)
(let* ((options
(cl-mapcar (lambda (car)
(cons (alist-get 'title car)
(alist-get 'id car)))
(mastodon-http--get-json (mastodon-http--api (format "lists")))))
(chosen-name (or list-name
(completing-read
"Which list?"
(cl-mapcar #'car options))))
(chosen-id (alist-get chosen-name options nil nil #'equal)))
(mastodon-tl--init
(concat "list-" chosen-name) (concat "timelines/list/" chosen-id) 'mastodon-tl--timeline)))Configure an Mastodon.el frame
And this configures a frame with my favorite buffers; i wish there was a cleaner way to do this, but alas. I have some scriplets in Emacs Helper Scripts to invoke this from KRunner/WM.
