@brennen Any particular issue you ran into? I've seen most of the weird Element bugs go away over the past couple of years...
(FluffyChat is an option for mobile, it's pretty straightforward - and I've heard good things about Cinny though I don't know how feature-complete it is yet)

#FediTip if you get a link to a post or profile and want to interact with it, put it in your search box.

FYI for newbies
Twitter has algorithms to get you engaged. Mastodon does not. So in order to enjoy Mastodon you have to take some time to reach out and find content and follow folks that you enjoy. Don't expect Mastodon to send you random popular posts to keep you engaged, you have to curate your own feed. But this is good! It gives you control.
@spacekatia Thanks, that's actually a great analogy for those "criticism from 3000 feet" type comments in general, I'll probably be using that in the future :)

like, a lot of twitter takes about mastodon read very much like people who have only ever traveled by car complaining about the existence of any other infrastructure
anything that doesn't exactly replicate the convenience of the car must be shunned
@chemelia@eldritch.cafe That's pretty specific to the ADHD + stimulants combination, as far as I know. It's kinda similar for me with Ritalin as well (just that's way easier to control than caffeine). Whereas for non-ADHD folks that'd just make them very jittery and physically active.
@meike @underwhelming@eldritch.cafe Ik denk dat alles in de Fediverse momenteel een beetje in de fik staat :p
@cassolotl I've mostly seen #feditips being used.
@kaasiand Muskrat heeft het almaar over het idee van een 'town square', maar hier bestaat het ook echt, alleen dan zonder de nazis 🙃

A few years ago I made this flow chart of which Mastodon posts end up in which timelines!
So, you can see how each instance will have a different local timeline, and even a slightly different federated timeline - and you can see why the federated timeline moves so much faster than the local one, too.
This is why it's important to boost good posts and use hashtags - the fediverse is fragmented and harder to search by nature.
@ejoftheweb@mastodon.green There's a lot of advice currently being shared under the #feditips tag!
@ZaneSelvans I'm really wondering why I don't seem to have this issue...
Zo. Alweer een flink deel van m'n Twitter follows hier gemirrored :)
@ZaneSelvans The federated timeline will show you tweets from all instances that your instance is federating with (eg. those where you follow people), at least for me that's turning up quite a few interesting people.

@parchmentscroll @zkat Right, it's more that I'd rather only give that degree of access to somebody I either know personally or otherwise have reason to trust :)
@zkat Oh, I'd missed that! Thanks!
