@joeyh @cwebber ohhh thats neat!

Love a platform which fixes bugs instead of finding new and fun ways to extract advertising revenue from my time.

@chriscoreline @joeyh @cwebber but wait! What happened to automatically opening a popup window with an "Enter your instance" box when you click on "Follow"? Both are essentially the same, but that seemed a bit more seamless 🧵

Or is it only seamless to people who always know what their full handle is? 🤔

Noticed the new layout in mastodon.social, but assuming it's coming to other instances too when they upgrade ⬆️

Yes, I preferred the pop-up window! Most instances still do that, it’s only mastodon.social and a couple other big ones that use this new UI. I find it less convenient, and it also breaks addons like addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firef which redirect on the same page instead of in a pop-up. The add-on makes it almost a frictionless process - click on boost, the page loads in your instance, click on boost again, done. Having to switch tabs, choose the search box, paste the URL in, etc. is more of a mental context switch and feels more involved to me.
