Do you also want to follow @pluralistic but struggle with how the massive threads can take over your timeline?

You might want to consider checking out phanpy.social, an excellent web client by @cheeaun. Its absolutely gorgeous, and also sorts out the boosts in your timeline into a separate 'carousel'.

On the first screenshot you see how the posts get collapsed into a thread. Single click on it, and you get the second screenshot. Absolutely worth checking out!

@fediversereport @pluralistic @cheeaun I love me some @pluralistic , but I don't think the 25-post thread thing is doing it's job. I assume it's meant to be a teaser of the massive amount of material he generates, but it's so large that I'd need "long form reading time" to go through it.

Probably needs newspaper front page treatment- graphical layout of article titles and initial text with main article above the fold...

@MHowell @fediversereport @pluralistic @cheeaun This is what I did the other day. Still see the first thread to go check out the new blog post, or view the thread if I want to, but not have an overwhelming set of threads in my feed! 😀

This is very nice! @pluralistic was jamming my feed. Also the posts in long threads were in backwards order. Phanpy fixes this and the look and feel are pleasant and intuitive! Good job!

@fediversereport @pluralistic @cheeaun Alternately, if your server runs #Hometown, you can do what I did and make an exclusive list (which filter posts from your home timeline to that list) that just has Cory on it. 😄
