Also posting from #rtoot here, now as a reply. The package is great: auth was easy to set up, function names intuitive, no great surprises yet.
(Only thing so far is... no way to edit posts from the package? But maybe I'm overlooking something.)
test posting from #rtoot in R... pretty nifty!

To elaborate - the function get_status() gets the details of a toot - but only seems to return how many times the toot was boosted, but not the details of the boosts. #rtoot #rstats #help #AnalysingMastodon
Trying out the excellent #rtoot to follow ideas spreading on Mastodon.
I think I'm missing something.
Can I find the toot ids of toots that boost a particular toot?
Looks like I have to:
1) Find initial toot id from a timeline - get_account_statuses()
2) Find list of who has boosted toot - get_reblogged()
3) Find list of their toots - get_account_statuses()
4) Find the their boost toots that are boosting the toot id - by matching toot ids
What have I missed?

Hello from RStudio IDE, #rstats! I'm finally testing out #rtoot It's very easy to use, and it's a nice excuse to do an #introduction! I plan to post about #mlops and #nlp in the coming weeks.
Can we see a list of #Mastodon accounts we follow and the list(s) we've added each to?
@judell answered this with the open source Steampipe platform and SQL: https://blog.jonudell.net/2022/12/22/lists-and-people-on-mastodon/
It's also possible with R and the {rtoot} 
. Code is in this GitHub gist if anyone else is interested:

You need the dev version of rtoot and to authenticate with a user token for your own account.
Jon UdellLists and people on MastodonI hadn’t thought to use Mastodon lists until I read the Frustration with lists chapter of Martin Fowler’s Exploring Mastodon, in which he writes: I like lists because they allow me to d…
Curious - if using the rss feed of your account - for example, mine is https://mastodon.ie/@dtoher.rss what is the number of posts that you see?
I am trying to verify if this is an instance specific limit (I don't think it is) - which is a good idea, as it works for all accounts, not just your own.
#rtoot can't resolve my host instance to authorise. I'm trying to come up with ways to self-archive posts (so I search them myself and auto-delete the online versions).
#rstats users, any other ideas?
