Public service message to everyone using #Mastodon:
Mastodon is not the only software used in the fediverse. There are many other options you can try, while still interacting with the same people.
Mastodon is not where most of the innovative fediverse design happens. All those features you want, like quote posts and better search? Other fediverse apps already have them.
Sometimes all you need to do is use your Mastodon account with an app that isn't the "official" one.

I don't know that ActivityPub C2S has been implemented yet. Most micro-posting software uses the Mastodon C2S API instead. The link I posted for apps in the post has a simple chart showing which software they work with.
@strypey Yeah, I saw that. But since I'm trying to implement C2S on my wee server, I was hoping there was a decent web C2S client I could use. Ah well, thanks!
@Geoff
I've been keeping an eye out for an AP C2S client for mobile or desktop or web... with no such luck.
I've known that streams and epicyon (servers) both have some support for AP C2S but haven't been able to try it due to no real AP C2S clients out there.
This is one of the drawbacks of the popularity of Mastodon; developers gravitating towards one project's implementation (Mastodon API) instead of collaborating on the AP C2S standard.

This is great news. The reason app devs give for not implementing it, when I've asked them about it, is that none of the servers do. Now that there are 3 servers to test against (what's yours called @OpinionatedGeek?), we're in a better position to convince at least one app dev to try. Maybe someone is already?
