I'm still trying to find a good Mastodon front end or app. I tried Tuba, but I don't care for it. I'm using Elk right now, and I'm mixed on it. May end up making that my first project. I'm rusty af on JS and I know no Ruby at all. My HTML and CSS is better than it was, but still rusty af.
@alex found an error in #Soapbox w/ #Mastodon where if you follow someone and that follow requires approval, but the UI doesn't catch on that the follow has been successful, going into the menu and clicking add or remove from groups causes the site to crash and you have to reload it. Not sure which of these errors caused it
know how social media like Reddit and Tumblr are made fun of for their groupthink? Mastodon and the Fediverse has its own groupthink.
the video mentions Mastodon in passing but says the name sounds like a joke. and yeah, Threads is a much better name. kind of wish Mastodon wasn't named Mastodon. never liked the name. FOSS software in general tends to have ugly names.
Dla mnie najwygodniejsze ma razie jest #soapbox ale może znacie coś co działa jeszcze lepiej i wyglądam przypomina Twittera? Bo oryginalna aplikacja niby ładna ale jendak jakaś taka dziwna 🤷
Z chęcią się dowiem czego używacie 🤸
@bot@alex I hope I'm describing this correctly, but it's a cross between an API and a bridge. It lets you log into #nostr via #Fediverse frontends like #Soapbox or the #Mastodon app.
It definitely has some kinks though. Replies don't work, posts made via #Ditto don't show up everywhere, etc. But it's still very new.
If you can see this on the #Fediverse, like and boost; if you can see this on #Nostr, please do the same, trying to see how well #Ditto is working at the moment (posting this from #Soapbox btw)
