Mastodon Account Integration for SailfishOS

(I made this, using Mastodon's public APIs. It's not official Mastodon nor Jolla software)

Been missing a news feed ever since Elon killed Twitter? Join the Fediverse instead! Mastodon is a federated social microblogging infrastructure that works just like Twitter did, and is now just as integrated into SailfishOS as that ever was, and maybe even a little bit moreso.

• Add your Mastodon account from the Settings app, in Accounts>New. Just tell it your home server and log in!
• Browse your feed on the Events view just like the old days.
• Built-in doomscrolling limit!
• Bring up the interaction menu with a long press on a post: Favourite or Re-blog a post instantly, or share the post with another app.
• Share your photos, videos or notes straight to Mastodon.
• Get notifications when something interesting happens!
• Tap on a post to open it in a browser to post a reply, view others' replies and the rest. It should be possible for any Mastodon app to take that over too. Don't forget to log in to your Mastodon account on the browser you're using, or you'll get an error opening posts on other servers.

This is really a beta, so please report any bugs. I'll publish the source eventually, but there's a lot to separate and integrate with the existing SailfishOS social modules first. I hope one day it'll get bundled with SailfishOS itself, because we do miss that feed.

NOTE: If you install this manually with rpm, there's a dependency from the Sailfish repos you'll need to install too: eventsview-extensions. If you add the repo or use zypper then that should get handled for you. If that wasn't installed already, then you're probably going to need to reboot before you'll see the feed.
