Thanks for explaining that, now I can eventually see the OP.
I want more like the second picture by default (although I wish the tap would take me direct to the OP instead of to the reply and then I have to scroll up).
I don’t want to see a main feed full of replies I don’t understand because there’s no context and have to decide whether it’s worth tapping and scrolling up dozens (hundreds?) of times a day to find out what it’s about.
I want by default to see the OP with replies underneath (perhaps the replies collapsed or collapsible). Then I can decide based on the OP, not guess by the reply, if I want to read through that thread or scroll past to the next.
Maybe it’s cuz I’m new and all the content is new. Once I’m in, perhaps I’ll want to see unaccompanied replies. But for now, I want to see OPs first, then replies once I’ve read the OP.
Good idea. I wanted to search their Github Issues to see if they already have a request for this but then I realized I don’t know the correct technical terms to describe this. “Show OP with replies below directly in timeline”? Or “feed”? Or “home page”? Whatever is the porper Mastodon term for what it shows me when I load the main page.
Unfortunately, it looks like Fedilab is a mobile app only.
Also, I’ve installed it on Android and the default does not show the OP above with replies grouped below.
Looking at its settings, maybe one might affect completely missing OPs, “Remote Conversations”. I’ve enabled it and will see how it goes.
I can’t find any setting to make it show replies grouped below the OP.

First impression: “That’s more like it!”
But then: “Wait… it’s still not showing me the OP followed by replies.” It shows me a reply, with some faded text above. I click on the faded text above, and still don’t get the OP, eventually click on a group of microavatars with mouseover text “Go to top” and an up arrow, and at last see what the hell it is people are talking about, with replies below. I try going through settings, find no way to get it simply show me the OP in the first place.
I guess I’ll have to keep trying out front-ends until I find one that works
in a way that is not obviously maddeningthe way I need it to.I’ll try Ask Lemmy. https://lemmy.ca/post/44479417
(And wondering again if I should try Mbin or Piefed, and what the difference is.)
Well, I’m confused. And has it caught on?
Disclosure: I’ve tried it out on my computer, not the app. Is the app more user-friendly?
E.g. I only just realized now why I’ve been so confused by Mastodon; the web page shows you replies before showing you what’s being replied to, without the UI making it obvious that’s what it’s doing and what’s connected together. Does the app fix that, and is there a way to get a fix in a web browser?
5·2 months agoIt is the single best demonstration of the damage cocaine does to people. Before there was “this is your brain on drugs”, there was the Star Wars Holiday Special.
Watch it with your children so that they think “Holy crap, if this is what people come up with on coke, I never want to even try the stuff!”
Ctrl+f: “holiday special” - Phrase not found.
This thread epic fail.
We need to find a way to fund the cost of implementing this. Perhaps a series of NFTs?
I don’t think their blog is about ghosts, I think their blog is created with Ghost, not WordPress

I don’t think there’s an acted movie, but documentaries, TV shows etc. And he has a podcast.
Reminds me of Daryl Davis.
In 1983, he was playing country western music in a “white” bar in Frederick, Maryland, when a patron came up to him and said it was the first time he had “heard a black man play as well as Jerry Lee Lewis”. Davis explained to the man that “Jerry Lee learned to play from black blues and boogie-woogie piano players and he’s a friend of mine”. The white patron was skeptical and over a drink admitted he was a member of the KKK. The two became friends and eventually the man gave Davis contact information on KKK leaders.
A few years later, Davis decided that he wanted to interview Klan members and write a book on the subject, to answer a “question in my head from the age of 10: ‘Why do you hate me when you know nothing about me?’ That question had never been answered from my youth”.
Davis eventually went on to befriend over twenty members of the KKK, and claims to have been directly responsible for between forty and sixty, and indirectly over two hundred people leaving the Klan.
But don’t worry, folks in the free world, this won’t apply to you! Douyin (Tiktok in China) may restrict what kids see, but Tiktok abroad will still serve up to your tween daughter videos that tell her if she isn’t pretty enough, she might as well kill herself.
I do wish something like AM’s functions was built into an all-in-one package manager for my distro. The closest I found was bauh which handles “AppImage, Debian and Arch Linux packages (including AUR), Flatpak, Snap and Web applications”. Which seems like an all-in-one solution.
But the problem with bauh (that last time I tried it) is that it accesses only a small number of (often very out-of-date) AppImages from the largely moribund AppImageHub.com, unlike AM, which pulls in the latest releases from loads of GitHub repos, and adds more on a frequent basis or request.
AM puts all AppImages in
/optfor me, as well as automatically creating menu entries, easy updates etc.
