Don't forget, Mastodon has a columns interface too! 👀

I prefer the @phanpy Web client...

The shine is wearing off . While it does a few nice things with summarizing threads, the UI is crowded and overwrought, at the expense of the operations users do most often, such as boosting. Three clicks to boost is a deal breaker by itself, but the thing that clinched it was the tiny controls causing me to hit the wrong setting when muting. After having such problems several times, I think I'm done.

Revisiting the mastodon web client since I've never been that crazy about any client (currently use tusky and the web interface). Phanpy has come a ways and is fairly stylish, which I don't care much about. So far the #1 feature is that posts which appear on the timeline because of subscribed hashtags are conspicuously marked with the hashtag(s) above the post title. Going to take it around the block for a spin.

Have to say, compressed thread viewing is outstanding with . Still unhappy about required number of clicks to boost.

One of my currently biggest "issues" with Friendica is handling re-sharing posts right. Like: If I use just "native reshare" on the post, behaviour differs according to where a post comes from. Meaning: Resharing Pixelfed or Mastodon posts will only make them visible to the AP crowd. Resharing Diaspora* posts will only make them visible for Diaspora* folks. Same for Tumblr and cough Bluesky. So I usually do use quote-sharing for content that matters (to me), which however results in being unable to use random Mastodon API clients (like , , ) for that - as in there, I can only (by now) boost Mastodon posts as far as it seems and I am unable to at least easily do a quote-share of an existing boost. Unfortunately, even though I really do force myself to use Friendica web / Frio all the time, it still leaves some things to be desired especially on mobile devices.
So, wondering: How do you folks handle this? Just use Friendica web and go with its "issues"? Just use whatever "reshare"/"boost" does without not bothering too much about who's able to see the posts? Or not interacting with any people outside the ActivityPub universe at all....?

Little question about #phanpy. It seems that I don't see the "reblogs" in my Pixelfed account with Phanpy (no boost carrousel). I can see them with the default Pixelfed web interface. Is there an option to activate ?

Last RP : je témoigne aussi => le client web est un vrai bonheur à utiliser, la UI est vraiment très élégante, la mise en page est agréable avec le "boost carroussel" par ex, il y a beaucoup de features intéressantes comme catchup.

Je recommande vraiment de tester https://phanpy.social/

Je sais pas s'ils projettent une app mobile mais ce serait bien cool

Hey @cheeaun, does @phanpy have any keyboard shortcuts to interact with media posts? Like play/pause for video/audio, and entering fullscreen mode for images? I like stepping through my timeline by pressing j/k, but frequently need to get back to using my mouse because I'm missing that. :( Also, I'd really love to get the currently selected post centered vertically on screen! 😅🙏

trying out – it's a quite fancy alternative Mastodon webclient ... what makes it hard for me is that i am used to the advanced interface tho

trying at phanpy.social.tchncs.de as it didn't feel right in the second to login to "some random" website with this account^^

[1/7] Mit dem Standard-Web-UI von Mastodon hab ichs einfach nicht so, und nutze es üblicherweise über alternative Web-Clients. Auch den bekanntesten davon, , habe ich schon verwendet. Lange Zeit jedoch am ehesten den Web-Client von . Jetzt aber steige ich gerade auf um, das unter https://phanpy.social/ erreichbar ist.

Wie bei anderen alternativen Web-Clients für Mastodon muss man auch dort erst mal seine Heimatinstanz eingeben, also troet.cafe, social.tchncs.de oder wie eben heißt. Dann muss man noch die Erlaubnis erteilen, dass der Client die im Browser aktive Anmeldung bei der Heimatinstanz nutzen darf. Somit kann der Client die API der Heimatinstanz genauso nutzen wie der Web-Client der Heimatinstanz selber.

Obwohl sie auf die gleichen Daten via API zugreifen, können alternative Web-Clients diese Daten durchaus anders aufbereiten. Phanpy strengt sich dabei besonders an. Nachfolgend ein paar Beispiele:

[3/7] Ein Thread wie dieser hier, bestehend aus mehreren Einzelpostings als Folge von Antworten auf das Vorgängerposting, erkennt #Phanpy explizit als Thread und signalisiert das deutlich sichtbar mit einem "THREAD"-Flag. Kleinere Threads wie im Beispiel ein Zweiteiler werden auch gleich direkt im Zusammenhang in der TImeline angezeigt:

[4/7] Wer mich schon länger kennt, weiß, dass ich immer ein Verfechter von klassischer Diskussioins-Visualisierung war (siehe auch http://webkompetenz.wikidot.com/selfhtml:foren-und-boards). Von daher kein Wunder, dass ich bei #Phanpy besonders angetan bin von der Visualisierung von Postings mit Antworten als Baumstruktur. So kann man die Struktur und den Verlauf von Diskussionen optisch erkennen. Das macht das Nachvollziehen und Nachverfolgen wesentlich einfacher:

[5/7] Wer schon mal irgendeinen "Hit" gelandet hat, und sei es auch nur im Kleinen, weiß, wie irritierend es sein kann, wenn einem Likes und Boots nur noch so um die Ohren fliegen und man kaum noch einen Überblick hat, wer was wofür. #Phanpy versucht da auch etwas Struktur reinzubringen. In den "Benachrichtigungen" werden Likes und Boosts sinnvoll gruppiert, was für mehr Übersicht sorgt:

[6/7] Da ihr sicher alle irgendwelche geheimen Zweit- und Dritt-Accounts habt, um der Vielschichtigkeit eures Ichs gerecht zu werden, könntet ihr euch eventuell auch an der Möglichkeit von #Phanpy erfreuen, einfach direkt zwischen verschiedenen Accounts zu wechseln:

I'm excited to announce that I've started work on a new Mastodon app, and I'm calling it 'Friendzone'. 🚨

  • Easier to use
  • Better in every way
  • Blazing fast
  • Smarter

It's in very early stages, but ready to beta test today: https://testflight.apple.com/join/DxBfo8du

Have you checked out "catch-up"-feature yet?
I'd say, it offers the funcionality you're searching for.
However, it's not a native app, just runs in the browser.

Hackaday.com esamina "le opzioni del tuo client open source nel Fediverso non-Mastodon"

@fediverso

La bellezza del Fediverso non sta solo nella struttura dei server, ma dipende anche dalla varietà di client disponibili per accedere alla rete. Laddove Twitter è ora estremamente severo su quali app possono collegarsi alla rete, Fediverse dà il benvenuto a tutti gli utenti sulla piattaforma! E sebbene Mastodon sia sicuramente l'attore più grande, non è assolutamente l'unico elefante nella stanza.

In particolare si parla di

  1. .social

Scegliere il giusto client per il Fediverso può migliorare significativamente la tua esperienza con la piattaforma. Che tu sia un utente occasionale alla ricerca di un'interfaccia semplice sul tuo smartphone o un utente esperto che ha bisogno di lavorare su più account o istanze, c'è un client là fuori per te.

Btw, pleeeaaaase let me pick languages to pin on the post menu! I keep having to hunt down Spanish whenever I need to use it.

I don't remember needing to do it in vanilla UI. And if I recall correctly, vanilla has a searchable drop-down menu for it.

Our alternative Mastodon UI at https://phanpy.hear-me.social has just been upgraded to the latest version.

I use Phanpy 99% of the time when I use Mastodon in the browser. I think the UI is superior to the one that comes with Mastodon. Reading posts is so much nicer. You should give a look see if you haven't checked it out.

I just added a note on Phanpy. I really like how prominent the image description field is when you upload an image, and I am guessing this contributes to the notably high use of alt text.

Great work, @cheeaun!

@kimerwinbc You might want to try an alternative UI for Mastodon that is available on this server, . I prefer the ordering of the posts on Phanpy over the regular UI. https://phanpy.hear-me.social
