@europlus@social.europlus.zone I guess there’s a good reason to not use the REST API that would give you exactly what you’re asking for.
I don’t have experience with the Mastodon DB; some months ago I did some changes where I needed to query my GoToSocial timeline and it was a non trivial task, because of how the data was normalized across multiple tables. I presume it’s going to be the same for Mastodon.

@erick@social.erick.sh yeah, that’s sorta been confirmed. I have a CLI python API client I might be able to use. It’s not a very high priority, I just had an unusual jump in posts overnight, and wanted a simple list to review in case there was any easily recognisable reason. Also, I had a couple of posts rendering strangely tonight in the iOS client I used, so I wanted to quickly get to those without scrolling in the Masto web UI. More curiosity than anything else.
