Hi Jens,

Thank you for pushing this package to our repository. I am trying to use
it, but I am getting an issue that I can not replicate with other means
of acquiring the package. When
I try to use M-x mastodon, it gives me an usual error. Directly Git
cloning and loading it allows for it to work just fine.

Here is the issue.

https://github.com/jdenen/mastodon.el/issues/141

Because it is a known bug I dont know if it is something we can change
in our configuration. I am really interested in seeing if other people
can replicate the error using the Guix package

Thanks,
Brett Gilio
