wow, I looked it up and you weren't kidding. absurd, how is the population OK with this?

one UX improvement is also in replies. I comment from Mastodon, and because I'm replying to you my post will be federated to feddit.uk but not to your parent comment on feddit.de or the OP on lemmy.ml :|

I find the "explore" page super useful for exploration! Spend a few minutes twice a day or so and the content quality is quite high, great place to branch out into boosts from. On my instance, I also do my best to curate the global feed to be somewhat useful (though things to creep in at the edges, I need to do some culling now for some Misskey bridges that are pretty loud in that feed).

@r1veRRR I was on social media both before and after algorithmic curation, and I find it no more interesting now (less if anything). YMMV.

feedback on the link bot, may be good to have it only reply once per thread/user combo, because the default Mastodon UX auto-inserts the reference into any future replies (but will start consciously deleting it!)

@crypto you can also comment directly from Mastodon. different platforms become differnet skins on the same data, ain't federation grand?
