i have to admit i don't really understand mastodon's appeal, any other fediverse software just seems... better, in every way

@helene
The other UI's waste space imo and MastoFE has been deprecated. I also hate how Pleroma FE does (doesn't do) threads.
My fork fixes the annoying things about Mastodon so there isn't really a reason to switch.

any suggestions? we now have tree-like thread views. also less space wasted with three-column mode

@hj
You do now? I haven't seen the new threads.
@helene

@matrix @helene it's (tree-like threads) an option, I want to make it more visible tho. 3-column mode is on by default (if you have space for it)

@hj
Nice. That's what I wanted. I agree it should be a bit more pronounced. I can't see it my phone though.
I guess I only have a one complaint left, lot of websites do this, the buttons on top left and right are uncomfortable to press on mobile. It would be nice if you could either access them with gestures.
@helene

@matrix @helene there are SOME gesture support, but it's extremely underdeveloped. We'd need someone who's good at it in web space. Personally I don't like gestures, they're always jank to me, even supposedly good apple's gestures.

@hj
I do hate gestures too, but I think moving the buttons down would break the overall design, so gestures seem like a sensible compromise.
