@clacke Public timeline is taken from statuses/public_timeline.json of the GNU Social instance. It contains all messages that are publicly available on this instance. AndStatus doesn't sync it by default, but it can be synced manually.
"Global search” in AndStatus searches on the server among messages from this Public timeline, as I understand.

@clacke @hfaust Maybe that's what is called "Public timeline" in AndStatus?

@pztrn Some time ago I noticed that discovery of open GNU Social instances stopped working. Is there a chance for the service to work again?

@hfaust It depends on what you mean by that.
So, what do you want to see? -

@cow2001 Currently there are two ways to copy a text of a message:
1. Share the message to any text editor or to Clipboard (there is free app for this sharing...). This way even some metadata is shared...
2. Start editing/creating a message. Now try to open context menu of any existing message: there are new context menu items there: ”Copy text to Clipboard and ”Copy @author to clipboard” https://loadaverage.org/attachment/3243288 -

@cow2001 ...but I just figured out that ”Photo Editor” can be used to save attachments from AndStatus https://loadaverage.org/attachment/3242483 -

@cow2001 In theory, ”View image” should allow to save an image, but I didn't find so far an image viewer, which could save an image that it shows. See https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/387 -

@hfaust Looking at Twidere's Timeline view I see:
1. Two timelines (Home and Interactions. Trends and Messages don't work in GNU Social) vs 10+ timelines in AndStatus (any may be hidden in the Manage timelines view). But these two are accessible from Action Bar, swiping between them.
AndStatus has one click switch to Detail timeline (click on a Timeline title). It could be a one click switch between two timelines...
Both apps have ”Drafts” hidden under the Drawer/additional selection.
2. Not clickable links in a Timeline vs clickable in AndStatus.
3. Same three Reblog/Reply/ Like buttons for each message.
Plus ”overflow” button for the Context menu. In AndStatus context menu is opened on a message click.
4. Conversation view is much like in AndStatus. No explicit "threads” though.
...
What else is important?
What AndStatus should improve in the UI?
1. We discussed Action Bar changes e.g. here https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/364 but didn't come to any real improvement... Please add your insight!
3. Message context buttons, maybe, work not as good as expected, see https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/410
Do we need to add the ”overflow” button also?
What else?
In general, such changes are hard to implement not because developers cannon program them, but because telling ”do like this” is too far from what is needed to know/ to consider about how this change should / will influence existing features and their users... I.e. more analytical work and consideration is needed. Otherwise such changes will actually cause degradation, and not an improvement... -

I wrote to Twitter Support and almost immediately restrictions were lifted (to be confirmed by users...)
This is not the end of the story yet: we need to figure out how to avoid repetition of the restriction in the future... -

@storm Obviously yes :-)
But as I understand, Twitter for some of them is just one of many communication channels... -

@maiyannah The reason is not explained. Currently we noticed only that posting to Twitter is "Forbidden”.
I will contact with Twitter support to find out the best way to fix this. -

"Edit message” feature for Pump.io is in Beta testing.
Messages with and without attachments can be edited. A User can change both text and an attached image. What is not supported (and will fail on an attempt to send an update): adding an attachment to a message that didn't have one. Or removing an attachment. This is because messages with and without attachments are two different types of objects in Pump.io.
"Edit" context menu item appears, when a Sender is my account and it is successfully verified (i.e. the account can actually post the update).

@hannes2peer I tested now: Twitter's behavior is different and is User friendly:
It allows to attach an image to a tweet, which has 140 characters of text and it shows it completely on a web site, see https://mobile.twitter.com/AndStatus1/status/778446073333374976
...but for a mobile client it truncates the tweet ending it with ... in order to insert a Web link to the attached image. Not so bad.
So in order to be Twitter's User friendly, Quitter.se needs to change this also?!

@hannes2peer @blp @maiyannah@community.highlandarrow.com @lnxw48 I just tried sending a message with an attachment to this conversation from my quitter.se account:
1. First attempt failed with the reason: REQUEST_ENTITY_TOO_LARGE - this is a known problem of message length counting on this server: it counts a length of attachment URL with a length of a message itself...
2. I had to remove most of the conversation participants from that already short message - and upload succeeded, see the notice: https://quitter.se/notice/7191588 But here we got another problem: attachment URL, generated by the server, is broken: no file is on that URL...
@hannes2peer could you check , why is this? -
