Gregory's Server
@francis @Mastodon @ivory That’s one sad thing about Mastodon. This is so essential and yet somehow isn’t top priority.
It would literally take one minute for @Gargron to say “Hey mastodon://@user@instance links are the standard, please handle these in your apps” and websites and apps all over would start using this in a week or so. Onboarding would be so much easier.
@francis @Mastodon @ivory @Gargron This was by far the biggest annoyance when I decided to move here for good last year. Somehow people normalized having to copy and paste a URL into a search field to follow a user.
Worst part is that after a while you forget because once you use onky Mastodon it isn’t an issue anymore. You find people directly from your feeds. But it’s terrible from the web.
