Following a hashtag should show all posts from the hashtag based on local + federated timeline
it's not that badalways awkward clicking on follow on people that needed requests, I always miss the lock icon
although i wish you'd get a notification when they approve the request
and it's great too ... for people who really miss twitterA new alternative web client (still in alpha)
wish they had a multi-column mode, though
yeah, awesome stuff!Graze browser add-on got an update.
More one click functionality.
Ivory is out, people seem to love it, but the sub version is really expensive. I don't use 3rd party stuff so don't know what they do that people love, and I'm no power user.

I think I've found a few issues that doesn't feel 100% right with the open nature of apps built around activity pub. Notably Pixelfed and Tilvids. Since they are pretty much made by one person it gets tied very much to that person. Like for pixelfed when you go to see trending users, of course you mostly see both the pixelfed account and the account of dev and kind of feel iffy. And for Tilvids their social media posts have been pretty off-putting, they have so many posts shitting on other social media things. I mean I like posts shitting on things as much as the next person, but not from a platform, it feels very insecure, like if you need to shit on others to make yourself look better then yeah that's a no from me.
TILvids isn't the platform, PeerTube is
TILvids is just one of the PeerTube instances as for Pixelfed - it might be made by one person, but it's still open source - that's the massive difference here
I hate that everything is fucking monthly payments. Like I use issuu to showcase my book and used the link to search for grants. Now they are severely cutting down the free tier so I can no longer host there, but too late for the grants since they are examining the applications.:/
There are ways to get the new versions too, naturally.
But there's something to be said about the convenience of knowing that this old ass version will forever and ever keep working just as you expect it to.
Reminds me though, I should check if there are any new and interesting features in whatever is the newest photoshop and whether I should update.
edit: Bug fixes, no new features since my current version.

Why are there so many apps with subs.

I suppose Tweetduck is going to stop working when that happens since it's really just a fancy wrapper for tweetdeck.
I'm hoping that the tweetduck author will make a similar app that uses one of the better browser based mastodon interfaces. He hasn't said as much yet though, only that "If I end up making an app for the platform that Must Not Be Named, you will hear about it there (on his website), on my blog, and on discord".
Here's hoping.
that's correct, yes
yup, same here! either him, or the Better TweetDeck dev

Attached: 1 image Status update for #E2EE #Mastodon DMs: ✨ Holy crap it actually works!! ✨ Like, even across different instances. It federates and everything! I still need to sand down some rough edges, and make sure the edits federate too, but I might actually be almost done with this...

Attached: 1 image If you assume our findings of 10x reach, Mastodon at 9.5m users has as much reach as almost 100m Twitter users. With this milestone Mastodon currently has 1/3 the reach of Twitter, a remarkable achievement for a purely user supported platform.
they will not, no
well you can mute directly from their profile (and mutes can even be timed), that's pretty quick, i think?
That's good to know!
yeah but it'd require me to look for their profile to unmute them
yeah, but if you do a timed mute - you won't have to remember to unmute them
i think i remember something about it being bought out by some investment company or something like that
Well hopefully whatever it is will get them off that sussy instance

So I'm guessing misskey.art is a pretty new instance? I saw an influx of new users from there posting art. I have no idea what Misskey is lol

Misskey is just another federated (ActivityPub) platform, like Mastodon it can interact with other federated platforms in the fediverse.So I'm guessing misskey.art is a pretty new instance? I saw an influx of new users from there posting art. I have no idea what Misskey is lol

Cool that's good to know.
Also still waiting for that tumblr activitypub implementation, and firefox instance. At the least if there's a Firefox instance I can tell people to just log into that if they use it.
yeah, they're both coming soon™
well, i believe FF said it would take them a few months to "get it right" or something like that, but most likely happening this yearRyujinx (@ryujinx@treehouse.systems)

I've steadily been able to find at least several new artists to follow daily on Mastodon, the fedibird and misskey.art instances are where most of them are on.
I don't think I really have any reason for twitter moving forward.

thanks for accepting my request to join the Meta Mastadon server. I have had one account a while back, but I was in a quite empty server then. Still I have no idea on how Mastadon compares with Twitter except that Mastadon is decentralized.
It is a bit hard to find interesting people to follow, since I think users of Mastadon are separated from each other depending on which server they are in right?

and you can just search for hashtags - that's the easiest way to find interesting people to follow You can follow any people across the fediverse as long as the server you are on dont have them banned.It is a bit hard to find interesting people to follow, since I think users of Mastadon are separated from each other depending on which server they are in right?
still it feels there are some learning gap when coming from Twitter, but I'll see what Mastadon has to offerthey are not, no
