Quick vibe check on @elk usage.

[solonovamax@tech.lgbt]

@ayo @elk I was considering using it as a desktop client, but then the "native" app got discontinued, so I stopped considering it.

@ayo @elk I like elk but have become dependent on phanpy's boost grouping

[disorderlyf@todon.eu]

@ayo @elk First I'm hearing of it. I might give it a try soon since it seems like more and more people are making webapps first and then making dedicated apps later

[theadhocracy@indieweb.social]

@64bithero @ayo If you didn't know, you can install Elk as a web app. That's it's core USP for me: no need for an app, but it works just like one.

[64bithero@mstdn.games]

@theadhocracy @ayo I finally figured it out and it’s a game changer! Still tweaking my layout to perfection but this is the app I have been waiting for overall !

[mattsheffield@mastodon.social]

@ayo @elk It doesn't have quote post, so I don't use it.

[mogul@hachyderm.io]

@ayo @elk I used it early in my Fedi journey, but then I tried Phanpy and fell in love.

[frameadvance@mastodon.social]

@ayo @elk Trying it for the first time now!

[ml@social.mitexleo.one]

@ayo @elk Love it

[burningtyger@nrw.social]

@ayo @elk I do and I preach it to my followers. It’s awesome

[ligfries@mastodon.green]

@ayo @elk it is my default when on the laptop. But most of my fedi is on my phone where i use Tusky

[katzentratschen@mastodon.social]

@ayo @elk Missing quote posts, advanced search and GIFs not autoplaying were some of the reasons I'm sticking – for now – with the "official" PWA after using Elk for some time. That said: still love the look and feel. Recommended it a lot.

[katzentratschen@mastodon.social]

@SharpCheddarGoblin @ayo @elk A lot of well crafted and thoughtful customization features, e.g. options to hide distracting elements like emojis in usernames, to rearrange elements in the bottom navigation, to change the colour scheme or font size. Overall more pleasant design.

[haayman@todon.nl]

@ayo @elk btw don't you have server stats to see the usage?

[katzentratschen@mastodon.social]

@Ekyllier @haayman @ayo @elk I've tested it and there doesn't seem to be a quote feature yet. Moreover, Elk still doesn't display quoted posts within posts. Instead of a nested view, it's just RE: with a plain URL.

[haayman@todon.nl]

@katzentratschen @Ekyllier @ayo @elk it does? I've seen it. I'm on mobile at the moment, so I can't make screenshot. And there's a quote button.
Did you test it on main.elk.zone?=

[ekyllier@mastodon.online]

@haayman @katzentratschen @ayo @elk So I've just jumped on my computer now to check and unless it's crazy hidden, I don't see it

[katzentratschen@mastodon.social]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@katzentratschen/116226980274474800

@Ekyllier @haayman @ayo @elk For example this post. Looking at it via elk.zone it's just a plain text link.

Elk

A nimble Mastodon web client

[unattributed@gotosocial.social]

@ayo @elk I've tried it a couple of times, but keep coming back to Phanpy.

[katzentratschen@mastodon.social]

@Ekyllier @haayman @ayo @elk (And I cannot find a quote button either. 🧐)
