Smaller instances won’t have a lot of the issues that the main instance has. I run one at https://dmv.pub. DMV being the DC/Maryland/Virginia region but anyone is welcome to join.

I hope they fix the bug where detailed notifications don’t work.

This is what I use. Works great!

I know.

Ditch iOS if you want more control over your phone.

Use LibreTube.

You’re welcome to join my https://dmv.pub Kbin instance. It federates with Lemmy.

I had every Nexus except for the 5, and every Pixel except for the 5. I’ve had really good luck with them all. Only problem I had was after about a year the wireless charging stopped working on my Pixel 4 XL. I’ve handed down almost every single phone to either my parents or my kids after at least a year of use and they continue to last a few more years. I can’t recall one ever dying. I swear by them.

No hashtags, no full text search. Just an algorithmic feed and a following feed, and you can only search users.

This is what happens when you launch with no content discovery features, so you have to whore yourself out and follow anyone and everyone if you want to get any attention. “Content creators” and clout chasers are the primary customer of this service, so without that I don’t know why they’d want to use it.

Looks fantastic. Nice and clean.

CalcKey just rebranded to Firefish. It has a very pretty UI but UX is currently bad as there is no way to globally disable boosts so you will see the same posts in your timeline over and over and over again. Following hashtags is limited to the Antennas feature so you won’t see those posts in your timeline. Until they fix these things it’s unusable for me personally.

Have you tried Akkoma or Pleroma? I run an Akkoma instance at https://shrediverse.net if you want to try it out. You can use the web app or an app like Fedilab on Android.

Have you tried other ways of viewing Mastodon? Different web apps or mobile apps? Like https://elk.zone , https://phanpy.social , https://semaphore.social.

The fediverse has made social networking fun again.

Sometimes you just have to learn the hard way.

Currently, AT protocol is mostly theoretical because it’s newer and a lot of things haven’t been implemented yet . ActivityPub is much more widespread, but some of the ideas for AT protocol would be great in ActivityPub, like better account portability.
