Would also be nice if they start explicitly treating the threadiverse as groups. This is already doable, but some usability sweeteners would make it much more accessible. It’s an absolute win-win for everyone on the fediverse.
explicitly treating the threadiverse as groups
What do you mean by groups? Are you talking about groups like how they’re described in this fedi.tips article?
Exactly, thanks for sharing the link. The interaction between threadiverse platforms and mastodon (sadly for pixelfed this does not work) is exactly as it is for fedigroups.social or what used to be a.gup.pe.
They’re really leaning into the email similarities here, not a fan of moving the sidebar to the other side but I’ll get over it. My biggest wish on the UI front though is for them to add a threaded view for replies like what Bluesky has, navigating long threads on Mastodon can be really taxing just trying to follow reply chains.
Most Masto-compatible software that’s not Mastodon itself (e.g. Akkoma, Sharkey, Wafrn) support threaded conversations so if you want to be in that part of the Fediverse you can try one of them out.
Akkoma only has two instances and they are both down
Sharkey is a Misskey fork and there don’t seem to be any instances. Misskey has instances, but none that I tried actually allow seeing the posts without logging in. To top it off, they all require approval. That is one of my biggest pet peeves with “public” software: requiring a login to even evaluate it.
Wafrn looks kinda interesting. It does require clicking to see every layer of responses and the entire thread isn’t shown like in lemmy, but maybe that’s configurable.
Thanks for sharing. It looks like I’d have to go shopping for the right software in order to get what I want 😅
100% agree with you on threads. It’s the biggest reason I don’t use mastodon. It’s completely impossible to keep track of discussions right now, so my time spent is kept to s minimum - just for my sanity.
That’s amazing progress. My next wish: being able to see past DMs with someone.
