New cool feature on bird.makeup this morning: pinned tweets!
They show as native pinned toots and they are not affected by the 100 top tweets limitation.

To fix the crawling, I'm going to need to start using Twitter accounts to fetch new posts. This is getting complicated for the time I can put on this as a side project, so I'm going to rely on Nitter implementing this, then I'm going to use that. You can track progress here: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/983
There is another thing I can fix natively in bird.makeup though. I noticed pinned tweets are there in user lookups. I can forward this, and the top 100 limitation doesn't apply to that.
2/2
One really useful thing Nitter could do is to log the id of new tweets (and their author) as it encounters them during normal operation. Bird.makeup could simply hook into that byproduct and it can already figure out the rest on its own.
I’ll sleep on it and if I still like it I’ll propose it to the nitter dev

@RaymondBarbour@mastodon.world @awilbert@mastodon.social It is getting busier that's for sure! Right now it takes a few hours to cycle through accounts, but I have lots of ideas to improve this.

And no retweets, but I did notice I can get pinned tweets though
Currently setting up a mastodon instance and it looks like all requests have a 20 second delay added. It's driving me crazy!
Anyone knows what's up? My google-fu is giving me nothing

@awilbert@mastodon.social @BikingViking@mastodon.social @wspd7pio@bird.makeup Thank you for doing user support for me! That is right, the service iterates on all twitter accounts that are followed, then forwards that to fediverse users. That whole process takes (for now) a few hours.

@awilbert@mastodon.social @christopher@mastodon.schulte.org Yes, it is designed as a big instance. That bar comes from the original @BirdsiteLIVE@fosstodon.org . I'll switch it during my holiday break to the time of the last fetched tweet + the time it takes to iterate on all twitter accounts that are followed.
