@oblomov so far, the best user interface i saw on mastodon, is phanpy. Should be the default

@luca I don't think that changes much. The issue is at the backend level, not the frontend.

@oblomov

just try it.
You don't have to install anything.
Give it a try with your sociale account from a browser at phanpy.social

@luca I'm aware of it, and I use it sporadically. It still can't compensate for messages that are deleted or not publicly accessible

@oblomov it tries to fetch & represent previous context as much as possibile from public sources.
Which is something mastodon standard web ui don't do, unless you go to read the thread from original source instance.

If a middle post is deleted or not public, there's not much we can do.

@luca and that's the problem. But AP has a Tombstone object that represents deleted messages, and this could be used for example to keep threading information (only)
