@seachanger I wonder if that will ever be possible if there are so many ways to enter and participate in the Fediverse.
Even if everyone on the Mastodon app experience same thing, many others participate here using other apps and they won’t necessarily follow the same features as the Mastodon one.

I don’t know much about tech to know how this can ever be more universal without a centralized site like the corporate ones.

Maybe this just isn’t the right design concept for experiencing a wider audience without the replies getting out of hand.

@stephaniepixie yeah idk. I’ve seen this site change a lot in 6 months so I’m generally optimistic about it, but I’m also just starting to really grapple with some of the structural patterns that hold it back

@seachanger Same. I see more variety in styles of posting now than even 6 months ago but maybe I just branched out a bit once I found my comfort zone. I don’t know.

It totally suits my personal socializing needs but I can see how it’s not really functionally right for experiences beyond a cosy bubble.

For more thought debates and journalistic type of posts the QT feature, more clearly defined threads and word search are absolutely imperative. Relying on hashtags doesn’t cut it.

My understanding is that QTs are coming to the main Mastodon site but not sure about the appearance of threads or word search.
It’s better on the Mona app but it’s a mess in just about every other app I’ve used.

@stephaniepixie yeah agree with all above tho I use ivory and threads work ok, but are still kind of clumsy feeling. I’m committed to this space for the time being, as a user and an admin, but that commitment does come with hefty responsibility to organize improvements and be honest about structural problems
