  1. CW: List of things to be improved on Masto

    Hey all, still as part of the #MoveToMasto Movement, and because we’re a bunch of honest people, let’s list all the things we think could be improved here on #Mastodon:
    (I’ll start - in no specific order. I've also added workarounds when I knew about them)
    (See this other post for the positive aspects)

    [1] No feedback on your boosts: do people like them? boost them? 🤷​
    [2] You can’t easily see all the answers to someone else’s post
    [unless you go to their instance's website]
    [3] Some great-looking accounts haven’t actually been active for a long time
    [but you can see "last active date" on your "follows and followers" Settings]
    [4] you can't easily quote posts
    [except with some apps, also this is coming soon in Masto!]
    [5] You can easily miss very relevant content
    [a customizable algo might be coming at some point on our instance!]
    [6] (very specific to me) there are not enough #BehaviouralNeuroscience or #NeuroEthology people
    [if you know any, tell them to come here!]
    [7] the new search is great but doesn’t search ALL of Mastodon’s public posts
    [you can always do a search from outside, say with DuckDuckGo]
    [8] you can't easily see only the posts of a profile
    [but you can use justmytoots.com/ for this]
    [9] …?

    Please do add your own!

    Edit: I updated the list, thanks to contributions of @diazona, @thefalcon 🙏​
