@chaitanya I made calls to the Mastodon API with https://mastodonpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ using mastodon.timeline(). I'll put up the data for the last 50000 posts on my website in the next day or so.
@pbanks Ahhh! I will experiment with the API. I had no clue such things were possible.
@pbanks unless, like me, you regularly kill your account and restart with a clean slate.
@pbanks Stay around for long, interact/follow people and share interesting stuff!
PS - Can I ask how did you extract this data? 😅
