@jasonkoebler couldn't agree more. Helping people get onto a server is the best way to reduce friction for those you encourage to join IMO. Curious to see what a Mozilla server will mean for the ecosystem. Hopefully every other platform is pushed towards interoperability. Also some really cool experiments happening around community governance and moderation like this: https://cosocial.ca/about 10 comments
@jasonkoebler if you used tweetdeck before you might also like the extended web view of mastodon  @thierna @jasonkoebler I used the Old TweetDeck on Twitter before Musk killed it. It was great. Mastodon's UI is awful - it's like if it was designed by someone who looked at TweetDeck once but never actually used it. There is also MastoDeck but it, too, is nothing like what the Old TweetDeck was. @bontchev @thierna @jasonkoebler Have you tried the Ivory client? For me it is an even better Mastodon version of the legacy Tweetbot (same development team).  @jasonkoebler @monkeyflower Iβm glad elk worked for you. For me @tootapp was the answer. It was a great phone app that made using the fedi and mastodon fun but offered a lot of the power and features that I wanted. And the server wheel is great for both multiple accounts or just watching the local feed of another instance. Thereβs so many great tools for the fediverse that are out there to make the UI experience what you want.  @jasonkoebler @monkeyflower Funny you should say that Elk looks like Twitter. I don't see that, just that it looks good and well organized, easy to find my way around. @jasonkoebler oh cool i haven't tried that app. Love having options! I've been using @megalodon on Android because of the clean beautiful UX and @apps to play with some more advanced features. Have been exploring bunch of desktop apps but haven't landed on one yet that i love.  @monkeyflower I would recommend checking out @phanpy. I use it on the desktop and as a Progressive Web App on mobile. |

@monkeyflower this is cool.
honestly, Elk.Zone, which makes Mastodon look like Twitter, helped me a lot. Also has easy account switching, which is key because I am running the 404 Media Mastodon as well.
The thing I've realized is I can start using the more complicated features as I naturally learn about them, if I want to. Or I can just not.
