Mastodon 2.9 - Now with a single-column feed

by

The new single-column layout reduces visual clutter and lets you focus on the specific part of Mastodon you want to engage in.

The new single column view is great, especially paired with the new light theme.

Since finding users is still a challenge if you're on a smaller instance, I'd be interested in a thread of other PH folks to follow. I'm @ben@ischool.social

Was the number one thing new folks that hadn't already used something like tweetdeck were confused by. I am glad this is the new default. follow me! @liaizon@wake.st

Mastodonは、機能に優れたマイクロブログプラットフォームであり、分散SNSシステムです。自分でホストすることができ、実際に多くの人がサーバを運営しています。別々にホストされたサーバが、独立性を保ちながら、一つの大きなSNSとして機能することができます。

Pros:

Mastodonの新しいシングルカラムレイアウトは、ひとつのタイムラインに意識を集中させるのに最適です。また、全体としてシンプルで簡単に見えるため、習熟が簡単です。

Cons:

より多くの情報を一度に見渡したい場合は、マルチカラムの方が優れています。

I've been enjoying Mastodon recently, it has a much more authentic vibe compared to the mass self-promotion on Twitter and other social platforms. Excited to try the new layout, my instance hasn't upgraded just yet.

Pros:

good for newbies or for those wanting a simple user experience with bigger images on timeline

Cons:

missing trending hashtags like on twitter

Been watching it since 2017 and has come a long way.

Pros:

No Nazis!!!! feels like Twitter 07-10

Cons:

Open Source, small dev team, insular communities, hard to find friends, hard to convince friends to move/maintain new platforms.
