  2. When I first started using Mastodon, I tried #Tusky but I quickly dropped it for the official #MastodonApp because I found it easier to use. However, I'm seriously considering going back to Tusky with all this unnecessary enshittification lately. First they shortened the search history, meaning I couldn't just scroll through pages upon pages of old searches like I used to. Now my bookmarks are unavailable, and I don't know how to use Mastodon without them, or rather, the way I like to use Mastodon relies heavily on bookmarks.

  3. Ok, he probado 4 clientes de #mastodon les he dado la oportunidad. Más sin embargo creo que a pesar de que los demás pueden ser mejores, me quedo pon #tusky

    Si pudiera hacer un top sería.
    1 - #pachil
    2 - #moshidon
    3 - #tusky
    4 - #mastodonapp
    La app común de Mastodon es la más limitada, el tusky te da un nivel como mensajes privados y demás pero carece en la opción de citar, pachil y moshidon tienen todo lo que puedes desear pero carecen a la hora de notificarte, las notificaciones en algunos casos solo llegan cuando abres la app, la ventaja es que tienen el feed federado el cual te puedes enterar de todo lo que publican en el #fedeverso en ese momento en todos los idiomas a toda hora.
    Por lo tanto me quedo con tusky que es un poco más avanzado que la app normal de #mastodon , pero más estable a las otras dos.
    Gracias por leerme, chau

  4. I've always wanted to be able to filter my #mastodon feeds by people I'm following or hashtags, instead of one huge noisy feed of both.

    I've got enough working now I'd love for others to give it a shot, everything is stored in your browser, no tracking or servers collecting data.

    if you have a few minutes I'd love others try it out or reshare

    You can find it here: elefeed.app/

  5. @Arnan It doesn't fit the timelines in the official Mastodon phone app. Which has the only Fediverse user interface out there that cannot fold longer posts in.

    The Mastodon Web UI can do that. All third-party Mastodon apps can do that. The Web UIs of just about the whole rest of the Fediverse from Pleroma and Misskey to Friendica and Hubzilla can do that. Phone apps for stuff that isn't Mastodon can do that.

    Only the haphazardly developed official Mastodon app can't do that because it's geared towards a Fediverse with only 500 characters, a Fediverse of a kind that has never existed.

    Mastodon is not the reference implementation of the Fediverse. And the official Mastodon app is not the reference implementation of Mastodon apps, much less of Fediverse apps. It only exists for there to be something official named "Mastodon" in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

    Just because Mastodon tossed out a lack-lustre app in 2022 for those who absolutely need something named "Mastodon" on their phones to access the Fediverse, doesn't mean that Fediverse software that has existed for almost six years longer than Mastodon and twelve years longer than that app must adapt to the existence of that app and cut down its character limit from 16,777,215 to 500 for all those who can't use Mastodon through something with another name on it than "Mastodon".

    By the way: Mastodon's way of cutting longer posts up into tiny chunks of no more than 500 characters goes onto the nerves of users of Pleroma, Akkoma, Misskey, Calckey, Firefish, Iceshrimp-JS, Iceshrimp.NET, Sharkey, CherryPick, GoToSocial, snac, Hollo, Socialhome, Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams), Forte and others. But they are not allowed to complain about that, much less tell Mastodon users who do that to move someplace that offers them more characters.

  6. I really like the readability of the Mastodon App for Android. But the "Duplicate Post" bug is quite irritating. Its been hanging around for the past year or so. So I stick with the venerable, but still awesome Moshidon.

    I figure that available resources probably go towards the iOS app first... but ....

    ... grumble grumble.

  7. @Droid Boy :coolified: @Der Achte Schwabe @Sascha Pallenberg 🇹🇼 ♻️ ⚡ Die offizielle Mastodon-App ist so ziemlich die schlechteste und unterausgestattetste Mastodon-App, die es überhaupt gibt.

    Viele glauben, die sei die Referenz-App, weil es ja die offizielle App ist und offizielle Apps ja eigentlich immer fully-featured sind. Tatsächlich ist sie aber eine Verlegenheitslösung, damit es im Apple App Store und im Google Play Store überhaupt eine offizielle App namens "Mastodon" gibt, weil 99% der Twitter-Umsteiger erstmal danach suchen werden.

    Was die nicht kann?

    Beispiel: Beinahe jedes Fediverse-Frontend da draußen rollt lange Inhalte standardmäßig ein, und dann kann man sie händisch wieder ausrollen. Außer superminimalistischen "Damit es überhaupt eine Weboberfläche gibt"-Behelfs-Weboberflächen von superminimalistischen Serveranwendungen ist die offizielle Mastodon-App das einzige Frontend, das das nicht kann. Die ist gebaut worden in der Annahme, daß es im Fediverse nur Inhalte mit maximal 500 Zeichen gibt.

    Dieses Manko in der offiziellen Mastodon-App ist wahrscheinlich einer der Hauptgründe, warum viele Mastodon-Nutzer sich über "lange Posts" mit über 500 Zeichen aufregen.

    Ich frage mich gerade, ob sie in der Lage ist, Textformatierung anzuzeigen.

  8. Oh. I got quote toots now and it's an extra step for every regular boost.

  10. @mastodonmigration Thank you. This difficulty has only been appearing since the update. I don’t access social media much on my desktop. Tablet is handy for reading news, including social media sources and commenting. I’m generally very pleased with Mastodon as a platform for these purposes.

  11. CW: Tired, Wired & Co.: Fediverse apps; CW: long (over 1,000 characters), Fediverse meta, Fediverse beyond Mastodon meta, Bluesky mentioned, Nostr mentioned
    Tired: More and more Mastodon apps that only support Mastodon.

    Wired: Apps like Openvibe and Nootti that support Mastodon, Bluesky and Nostr, but officially still only Mastodon on the ActivityPub side.

    Hired: Apps that officially include support for Akkoma, Iceshrimp, Sharkey, GoToSocial, Friendica etc. And I mean not only actually making sure that they do work in this app, but supporting features that they have that Mastodon doesn't. Like text formatting or two different server-side ways of quote-posting.

    Desired: Stable release of Relatica.

    Required: A Hubzilla app that isn't stuck in times when Hubzilla still had tech levels. Ideally for iOS as well because too many people in the Fediverse only have iPhones.

  12. If you are connected to firewalled wifi and attempt to post in the Mastodon app you *do not* get an error. Your post is eaten. Deleted forever.

    I wrote this amazing post and it’s gone. This has happened before. Other apps say “cannot post” when firewalled. Seems like bug.

    (please don’t tell me to use a different app I have four apps each with their own issues- the purpose of this post is to check if it’s fair to call it a bug)

  13. Just discovered “tag groups” in the #IceCubesApp. So far I haven’t found this feature in any other #MastodonApp. Is it specific to #IceCubes? I really love it because some topics I follow use variations of a hashtag. Makes it so easy to create a feed for a specific topic that casts a wide net. Very nice. #hashtags #taggroups #easyfeed #IceCubes

  14. Alle guten Dinge sind drei!

    Na endlich tut's meine #mastodonapp wieder. Nach dreimalige De- und Neuinstallation, Sever nicht gefunden etc pp.. 😁

    Falls das jemand auch mal passiert, und ihr es noch nicht wisst:
    Es geht auch ohne Neuinstallation, und zwar über den Browser und Google, indem ihr einfach Euren Nickname in die Google-Suche eingebt.

    One of the best aspects of Mastodon is the friendly, welcoming culture. People are eager to help. Real people. And the people who are helping are doing so because they like helping. If you have questions about Mastodon, try using these hashtags with your question. 🙂 I'll bet nobody asks you for your phone number.

  16. CW: Long Post - Announcing FxMastodon - a service which fixes Mastodon embeds on Discord/Telegram/etc.

    ❇️ 🎉 INTRODUCING: FxMastodon 🎉

    Today I was getting annoyed by Mastodon images/videos not always embedding properly on discord, especially if they're NSFW content. 🥺

    I decided to make FxMastodon, which is a Mastodon equiv of FxTwitter that fixes embeds to make them work properly on Discord and certain other apps 😁

    It works with images, GIFs, and videos from Mastodon posts - only shows the first image/video though

    **How to use it:**

    Simply prepend "fxmas.to/" to the start of the post URL after https://

    **For example:**

    derpy.masto.host/@LittleshyFiM

    **Becomes:**

    fxmas.to/derpy.masto.host/@Lit

    **This also works!**

    fxmas.to/derpy.masto.host/1107

    And of course, it's **OPEN SOURCE** github.com/Someguy123/fxmastod

    Please feel free to try it out and let me know how you like it, or if you find any bugs 🥰💚

  17. Do you think that Twitter will add an EDIT button like Mastodon in the future ?

    PS: In Mastodon the #user is even allowed to #edit all of his previous #posts.

    Please specify in reply if you have other opinions or suggestions !

  18. Love these ideas for Mastodon clients, via @adamengst, #TidBITS

    I'd totally pay for apps that prioritize what he describes as "finishability" and "content selection."

  19. Some form of Mastodon Digest is what I want in my Mastodon client natively! I'd love to see a tab for this that brings up "posts you might have missed in the last 24 hours"

  23. Hello #Mastodon friends!
    I’m looking for a great desktop app to manage multiple accounts. I don’t need multiple timelines, just the ability to quickly switch between accounts so that I can make posts on the other WebUrbanists accounts when needed.

    I’m currently using WhaleBird and ngl it’s a bit slow. I’ve also tried Sengi but it doesn’t suit my use case as this account is the only one that I browse timelines on.

  24. CW: Mastodon app feature suggestions

    The features I’d most like to see added to the #MastodonApp:

    1. Edit existing toots

    2. Delete & Re-draft toots

    3. Greater visibility of the local and federated timelines

    4. A dedicated section for DMs, i.e. toots that are only visible to people I mention

    5. Prompt by default whether ‘reblogs’ are to followers, public or unlisted, with an option to choose a default in Settings

    6. Call ‘reblogs’ boosts!

    7. Settings for font size and control over visibility of CWs and long posts within the app

    8. Indent the body of the toot text to make the timeline easier to scan (#Tooot and T*****r have got this right IMO!)

    9. Default to showing #CamelCase #hashtags, not lower case, which are better for #ScreenReaders

    10. In-app support for migrating servers

    One further suggestion: 💬 (or similar) would make a better icon for CWs, which are typically used as content notices or summaries (as per the #ActivityPub spec), rather than warnings. #ContentWarning #ContentNotice #ContentWrapper #Mastodon #FeatureRequests #UX #noxp @Gargron 🙏
