When a bug tracker is inside the exclusive walled-gardens of MS Github or Gitlab.com, and you cannot or will not enter, where do you file your bug report? Here, of course. This is a refuge where you can report bugs that are otherwise unreportable due to technical or ethical constraints.

⚠of course there are no guarantees it will be seen by anyone relevant. Hopefully some kind souls will volunteer to proxy the reports.

Kensanata’s mastodon-archive tool was originally working as expected to archive posts from eattherich.club. Then out of the blue one day it started printing this:

        mastodon.Mastodon.MastodonVersionError: Version check failed (Need version 3.1.0)

The count of new items never resets to zero. It should go back to zero after every fetch, so this implies fetching no longer occurs (or at least it no longer finishes). The current version of eattherich.club is Mastdoon v4.2.5. Not sure if a version upgrade would be related. Other Mastodon instances do not have this issue.

The bug tracker is on MS Github, thus out of reach for me:
