Quick vibe check on @elk usage.

[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

[luneceleste@rivals.space]

@ayo @elk I used it a lot, I find the interface quite ergonomic but my biggest complain was the size of the emojis.

They are way to small for my myopia and the web client of my instance can zoom them.

So I stopped using it

[sherold@mastodon.online]

@ayo @elk It was my main client for quite a while, and I still love it, but now I mainly use @phanpy.

[darius@social.linux.pizza]

@ayo @elk Just set up a self-hosted instance and I'm loving it so far! It'll probably be my primary client, at least on web (I'm happy with the official Mastodon app on mobile).

[sheepnik@toot.wales]

@ayo @elk I've used it daily on my laptop since early 2023 (I use something else for mobile access.) I've not found another web app / interface that works as well for me.

[wolvericcatkin@tech.lgbt]

@ayo @elk
My first instance had a subdomain that served it as an alternate interface, and I tried it a couple of times, but I had some issues with some of it's design choices and how my browser handled PWAs... pretty much forgot about it entirely tbh, especially since switching instance...

[64bithero@mstdn.games]

@ayo @elk Ok I just figured out how to add the pwa. This is my go-to for now on!

So happy

[rolfbly@mastodon.social]

@skaverat check @elk, it's rather more informative than the site.

(I had never heard of it either, and have no intention of switching from Tusky and (for the occasional quote-toot) the "Official" Mastodon-app.
