"oh nice, #mastoDev has a professional design team, this will allow them to keep closer interaction with the community since programmers can focus on code while the professional design team participates in community discussions and respond to accessibility criticism with valuable feedback from users."
on the federated timeline, i enjoy a post and want to read the conversation so i click the toot, i can read everything nice
when i go back i end up on a different place on the timeline, way much earlier, then i have to scroll to the place where i stopped, it also reloads all the toots i have already seen again, wtf?
Can you advice me what i do wrong here?
its not a real problem and i am very happy to be able to read you all, life is suffering, love you
i use the browser version
also i am purposefully on a server far away from the location of my physical ass but still my federated timeline is polluted by my german brethren, its ok, but i d like to read the international toots and not have to scroll through the german stuff again and again
Folks should take a look at the #fullTextsearch function that Eugen is proposing for #Mastodon and how closely it resembles the #search patch of the woman who he kicked off the Mastodon repo GitHub & Discord a couple of months ago. Also, her patch was more configurable that the thing he's bringing to main that has zero attribution of her work. #fediverse#mastodev#MastoDevs
I really want more web/device apps to prioritize reply text being shown before mentions!
Mentioned accounts mostly exist as a technical requirement for notifications, they aren't the most important part of a reply and do not need to be placed above the text.
A good UI to me, would have a separate area that contains all the suggested mentions for replies, in-order, that allows the user to remove mentioned accounts by unchecking them or add more.
