I've tried Tusky and Fedilab for Masto.
-
I'll give it a try!
@tiefling Awesome. One thing that took me a while to work out was quoting, because they don't use the word quote - hold down the boost button and choose "post about this"
-
@tiefling Mastodon's client situation is really awful in that no client, not even the web client supports the full feature set. I was really surprised to see that nothing has changed in the last two years.
I'm stuck with tusky and accepted that I cannot quote and that I sometimes have to refresh to see the comments.
There seems to be no real development on the front-end side 🫤I only noticed the incomplete convo ish when I was reading one and loaded it in my browser by mistake. I was missing a LOT of replies... replies that showed in fedilab.
-
I'm adding it to the list tho I do worry the weird federation for small instances from Tusky might be same.
-
@tiefling
I have not had those issues with Fedilab...
️I wonder if there are settings related to caching or similar that are making your experience worse?
I'm glad ur not having issues, but I am.
Long convo chain, I legit can't click on a notif to comment. I have to load in a diff app. Loading is slower then other apps. It's been a ptob since the beginning.

@tiefling
I've stopped using a client at the moment, I'm using the Progressive Web App now. If that's up your alley.
On load it dims my hearing aid, as if a sound is being played, but it only lasts a second.I'm tbh not even sure what that is, but I'll go read!

@tiefling sounds intriguing, what weird federation? (I'm using the Mastodon app like I mentioned so I'm not defending Pachli/Tusky since I don't really use them.)
I think whatever content/posts you get in your app isn't related to which app though. I think its related to your server. In your case bardicperspiration.club and in my case folkdata.se. The app just displays what the server "serves" it has influence over what is fetched or not. At least I think so.

@tiefling
Do you have the home cache enabled in settings? My fedilab reports 600MB of cache with 33000 messages. update interval set to 1hr -

We run the instance, tho we are small. And def the app matters BC as an ex:
Tusky: Loads two replies to "other instance." Dio clicks on a profile, sees more replies on remote server. Checks Fedilab.
Fedilab: Six replies to same post.
Fedilab might be doing something "extra" I guess?

I've tried Tusky and Fedilab for Masto. Neither is terrible but like, both have probs that mean I have to use both.
Tusky:
- No quote support (still)
- Doesn't find all replies
- Emoji support weirdFedilab:
- Can't load comments in long reply chain
- Refresh doesn't always work
- Hard to follow complex convos...so what else is there to try?
@tiefling Husky supports quotes but it also focuses more on Pleroma and Akkoma so it might not support Mastodon quotes specifically -
Yes. I don't so much care abt load time but not being able to read a convo is annoying.
@tiefling
Agreed that would be a dealbreaker for me. For the most part I can just click a message, it will load the full Convo and then i can scroll up and down to see what was said️sorry I dont have any other suggestions for software. good luck!

@tiefling Ice cube ftw!

@HurricaneWeasel
Ooh, good point. how do you force a remote conversation load? i know theres a button on profiles to load the origin version of the profile.

@tiefling @leanderlindahl Tusky has a long-standing bug where some posts on your timeline just get dropped. It might be that.
I think (but might be wrong) Fedilab has an option to fetch the original thread from the remote server to try and get missing messages. Recent Mastodon servers can do this too, so it shouldn't make a difference now.

@tiefling Quickly becoming a big Phanpy fan.

@tiefling I use moshidon, and I think it's great.
I love Moshidon @moshidon which is a fork of the no longer under active development Megalodon @megalodon
However, it crashes so often for me that I'm actually trying Fedilab @apps again. Even the I don't like many most of the design decisions they made, it hasn't crashed once. Like so many glyphs with no text to explain what they do. Are you trying to be Microsoft?
