Quick vibe check on @elk usage.

[skaverat@skaverat.net]

@ayo @elk never heard about it, and visiting the site does not tell me what it even is.

So: no idea what it even is

I assume it's a fedi client, but that's completely based on your post

[ekyllier@mastodon.online]

@ayo @elk Stopped using it when quote boosts come out on the official app but aren't here.

[haayman@todon.nl]

@Ekyllier @ayo @elk but they are?? Or is that just the canary branch on main.elk.zone?

[shini92@mas.to]

@ayo @elk It's the way I interact with #Mastodon and I do this from multiple devices daily!

[codinghorror@infosec.exchange]

@ayo @elk I would like popular UI innovations in Elk to be folded into Mastodon proper (the web client should be default awesome) and would be happy to help fund this

[haayman@todon.nl]

@ayo @elk what's the discussion about? I really really like it better than any other web client. I've tried to use phanpy but couldn't get used to it

[64bithero@mstdn.games]

@ayo I’ve used it but I primary use my phone to browse mastodon. Which ive been lazy with using a browser. Any chance you’d do an dedicated IOS app I’d download in an instant !

[maybeanerd@bumscode.com]

@ayo @elk it's still my main way to interact on web (or rather, my softfork crab is https://github.com/maybeanerd/crab )

But, I use mastodon on mobile 95% of the time. And there I use @moshidon

[ekyllier@mastodon.online]

@haayman @ayo @elk I'll have to test it again but the last time I used Elk, I couldn't quote-boost and I waited a while for that to arrive but never did for me.

[sarah11918@mastodon.social]

@ayo @elk I use exclusively Elk with the Astro account, but basic Mastodon web (or 3rd party Android apps) with my personal account.

I like the extra confidence of knowing when I'm logged into which account so I don't inadvertently post from Astro by mistake.

[ayo@social.ayco.io]

@sarah11918 @elk You can use a different theme for each account by the way!

[ayo@social.ayco.io]

@sarah11918 @elk But our docs is not updated so…

[sybrand@social.lol]

@ayo @elk Using app on iPad and iPhone, but #elk on Mac.

[sarah11918@mastodon.social]

@ayo @elk Just jumped into settings and found it! Now, would I remember which theme is which, though...

[foufoutos@kafeneio.social]

@ayo i use it from time to time @elk

[splonk@mementomori.social]

@ayo @elk Would love to keep using it, since it's visually superior to anything i've seen from other clients, but the glacial pace of development makes it hard.

[hermannus@stegodon.nl]

@ayo @elk Never heard of it, sorry

[todepond@mas.to]

@ayo @elk use it on desktop. use the default client on mobile (elk is too sluggish and annoying on my phone)

[gverdun@mamot.fr]

@ayo @elk I use it everyday on my self-hosted version on Yunohost. Working great!

[det@critter.cafe]

@ayo @elk tried elk but the package in the archlinux user repository simply, does not work if you wanna add an account to it
seemed maybe fit to what i would want from a client otherwise, though
