@dirk @gotosocial @Codeberg Thank you for the recommendation! I personally feel like it's a little too close to the Mastodon default that I got tired of, to me.

I have been happy with my local desktop/phone apps for a while now. I use the super unique #Sengi on my desktop and – for the lack of an app with a unique interface or functionality – #Tusky on my phone.

Hey there @sengi_app!

Is there any plans for the optional statistics in the expanded status view?

The pull request implementing it is now two years old. I agree with the decision to not accept it until it's an optional setting, but has there been any development on that that I missed?

It feels like since the functionality is already there, it's not a particularly difficult task to implement it as an option. I might be misjudging the effort though.

Enjoying #Sengi a lot by the way; it's my main client. I love how opinionated and unique it is, and the post tags (thread, replies, old etc.) are such a good idea.

The pull request in question:

https://github.com/NicolasConstant/sengi/pull/585

Fixes #485.

Been using Fedistar for a few days now. It does a lot right, but it is not good at displaying threads.

When I click on a post in Sengi, it (usually) shows me the whole thread. Fedistar sometimes does that, but usually it just shows me the post, without any replies, or the post that it's replying *to*. Sengi fails sometimes, but it's much more reliable.

I also really wish Fedistar would tag bot accounts and visually indicate whether a post has replies, like Sengi does.

Have i gone blind? Afaict, the current version of #GlitchSoc used in #InfosecSpace , no longer lets us specify a character-number beyond which toots will automatically fold / collapse. I regarded that as a major reason for even bothering to favour a glitch.social instance [along with, ofc, its support of Markdown formatting].

Maybe this is not even a recent change / degradation? Over recent months i've been repeatedly hopping between the native Masto web page, & #Statuzer, #Phanpy, & #Sengi, so possibly the change happened "unsighted" by me, months ago?

What a bugger!

@jerry - have you heard anything from upstream wrt if they plan to restore this feature, pls?

This is pretty disappointing, not least given the several months-old bug that broke correct behaviour of Unread notifications badge: Display a badge for unread notifications in the column icons when the notifications column isn't open in the #AdvancedWebInterface remains unfixed.

@MsDropbear42

Not perfect (yet), yes. I'm looking for a single-column client with strong navigation capabilities, i.e. switching between lists, subscribed hashtags and other timelines should be as fast and painless as possible.

Multi-column clients like #Sengi give me the creeps (not sure whether Sengi still has these tiny rectangles at the bottom, for column selection? The ones that don't have any indicator which column they represent).

#Whalebird once looked like a promising single-column app, but its navigation column still isn't scrollable - you can't even see the full list of your lists in it, and the related bug ticket is pending since two major releases, so I have given up on it.

Wenn Du im #Fediverse auf einer #Mastodon-#Instanz unterwegs bist, kannst Du ein wenig an der Zeit drehen und Dich vielleicht ein bißchen wie Paulchen Panther fühlen. Möglicherweise auch auf anderen fediversalen Plattformen (z.B. #Mammuthus), hier wird allerdings nun zunächst Mastodon betrachtet.

Du willst in den Urlaub, irgendwo außerhalb von #Mastodonien, wo der #Internet-Zugang schlecht ist? Aber dennoch Deine Folgenden nicht unversorgt lassen?

Dann tröte vor. Beauftrage Dein hilfreiches Mastodon mit einem Trötversand zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt.

Erfasse Deinen Beitrag... uuund daaann... nicht einfach auf Senden/Veröffentlichen/Tröten klicken oder touchen, sondern vorher den Zeitpunkt wählen - mindestens fünf Minuten in der #Zukunft.

Gibt es Haken bei der Gelegenheit? Natürlich, wie üblich.

Auch wenn es sich hierbei um eine Funktion der Mastodon-Serversoftware handelt, unterstützt nicht jede App diese Funktion. Möglicherweise nicht einmal die offizielle Weboberfläche.

Es existieren wohl Drittanbieter, die diese Funktionalität zur Verfügung stellen... oder aber Du organisierst Dir einfach eine passende App. Und ja, notfalls als Zweitapp nur für diese Option. Mehrere Apps parallel zu installieren funktioniert problemlos.

Für #Android unterstützt etwa die #Tusky-Familie diese Funktion; auch #Fedilab. Auf dem #Desktop möglicherweise #Sengi.

Interessant zu wissen: Dein Beitrag wird auf der Mastodon-Instanz vorgeplant. Die App ist nach dem Abschicken des Zukunftströts nicht mehr notwendig.

Noch ein technisches Detail: Mastodon führt vorgeplante Beiträge intern mit einer eigenen temporären Identifikation. Eine (vorgeplante) Antwort auf einen vorgeplanten Beitrag ist bei Mastodon daher nicht möglich. (Bei Mammuthus übrigens schon, siehe etwa den Unterschied zwischen @fragefix@norden.social und @tagesfrage@fragefix.de bei der Auflösung, wenn eine zusätzliche Hintergrundinformation existiert).

@katzenberger @phanpy It's very good, but still frustrates me & i keep having to change away from it. Over the past one or two months, lotsa bouncing around these; they all have good pluses, but also weaknesses that sooner or later drive me away.

  • #Mastodeck: hardcoded to 500char, no Desktop Notifications, no #SlowMode, no self-toot CWs(?)
  • #Sengi: can't resize columns, editing toots loses ALL #Markdown formatting!, quoting via Markdown gives no visual indication that text is quoted
  • #Statuzer: Likes, Boosts, Bookmarking toots in one column do NOT flow automatically to same toots in other columns til Reload
  • #Phanpy: can't globally suppress Boosts in Lists; does Notifications weirdly in a way that frequently causes me to miss newer ones that appear down the timeline & need scrolling to discover [why on earth aren't they ALL at the top???]

@rl_dane @dm @elk @statuzer Update on my earlier toot, fwiw. I have been revisiting #Sengi since my earlier toot. I have confirmed that unlike #Statuzer sadly, my #Friendica instance does work fine in it, as well ofc as Masto. 🎉 🥳 👯‍♀️

It's not yet final, but so far my hypothesised workaround for the serious design flaw in Sengi of users having no apparent way to resize the column widths, is looking very promising. Rather than my hitherto paradigm of keeping my fedi-UI du jour as a conventional pinned tab[which then, in Sengi's case, exposes the column width problem], i have installed it as a #WebPanel in my :firefox_nightly: #FirefoxSecondSidebar, & therein narrowed that specific WP pane only to the width occupied by my two timeline columns. So far it seems to be working pretty darn well, so... this might soon become officially my new paradigm.

Thus, curious, have you peeps also tried your GTS in Sengi?

@sengi_app @NicolasConstant Hello & thank you for your clever #Sengi project.

Could you pls advise me if the width of each timeline column is hardcoded, or if users have some way within the GUI of increasing the column width so that when only using two or three columns the entire page width can be used?

So far i've not found a graphical way, so i assume i will need to create a #customCSS to do it... but i thought i'd check with you first.

Golden-Rumped #Sengi - #iNaturalist Observation of the Week inaturalist.org/blog/100965-ta

"Averaging about 56 cm (20 in) in length, the golden-rumped Sengi is the largest member of the family #Macroscelididae and hunts through the leaf litter for insects and other invertebrates. As its common name suggests, its rump is golden colored, which draws attention to this more protected area of its body."
