I've no idea what a subtoot is 🐘
You know what, I'm realizing that maybe the correct implementation for a fedi client has **a freakin <em>URL BAR</em>** at the top o' the page like its its own browser
I created an account for my dogs to try out pixelfed: @fedipugs
So far its been a bit rough (no video support, hyperlinks get broken 🪦)
But if you like cute pet pictures maybe it could be worth a follow, I'll try to post when I can and occasionally maybe repost older stuff from the instagram that my partner made in the past.

Ok, tinygo is definitely not stable enough for this, moving on to trying rust instead https://docs.rs/age/latest/age/ 👀
From yesterday: research into related memory leak here: https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/issues/1140#issuecomment-1314608377

Querying the db showed:
```
# SELECT username FROM accounts WHERE id=-99;
username
----------------
localhost:3000
```
Which corresponded with the value in the curl
```
"preferredUsername": "localhost:3000",
```
So a quick fix was to connect to psql and run the following update: UPDATE accounts SET username = 'destituent.social' WHERE id=-99;
Now I can toot at my friends over on pixie.town!
Hopefully I didn't burn too many of your CPU cycles @f0x and @forestjohnson thanks!

Sorry about my super long winded, poorly written posts before, the sort of silly analogy I can make goes like this:
In the nation of Mastodon Server #42069, there is a postal service. All outgoing mail goes to the postal outbox. Postal workers drive to the outbox, pick up One (1) message, then read the URL address on it and drive to that server to deliver it. Then they drive back to the outbox & repeat. There are only 12 postal workers. Problem is that when folks follower counts start rising they start getting followers from thousands of different servers, and every time they do anything, it puts thousands of messages in that outbox. Poor 12 workers can't deliver them all 1 at a time even if they were superhuman HTTP client machines.
My opinion: remove the limit on # of postal workers completely, or, if you absolutely can't do that, then try to make more than 1 message per mail truck.
