I've tried Tusky and Fedilab for Masto.

@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

[tiefling@bardicperspiration.club]

@leanderlindahl

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?

[tiefling@bardicperspiration.club]

@dlakelan

Yes. I don't so much care abt load time but not being able to read a convo is annoying.

[reiddragon@fedi.catto.garden]

@tiefling Husky supports quotes but it also focuses more on Pleroma and Akkoma so it might not support Mastodon quotes specifically

[dlakelan@mastodon.sdf.org]

@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 said ‍️

sorry I dont have any other suggestions for software. good luck!

@dlakelan @tiefling
Please turn off Settings --> Interface --> Remote conversations and Remote profiles

You can always load them remote manually.

@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

[hurricaneweasel@mastodon.world]

@dlakelan @tiefling
In conversation, it's the button left of the eye in the top right corner (the globe), and on profiles, the looking glass.

[pachli@mastodon.social]

@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.

[leanderlindahl@social.folkdata.se]

@pachli thanks for pitching in with your knowledge

@tiefling Quickly becoming a big Phanpy fan.

@pentup @tiefling

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?

[pentup@mastodon.art]

@jrdepriest @tiefling Really? That's a bummer. It's literally never crashed for me.

[jrdepriest@infosec.exchange]

@pentup @tiefling

It happens mostly when I click an external link, read the page, and then go back into Moshidon. It starts hanging and freezes then just crashes to desktop.

[apps@toot.fedilab.app]

@pachli
Yes, you're right. Fedilab can query the public API of remote instances to fetch full conversations or profiles directly from the source. Especially useful for small instances with limited federation. On interaction, the search API (WebFinger) brings the post into the local instance so interactions work normally.

@pachli How is Pachli handling this? @tiefling @leanderlindahl
