@morfil Exactly, a human social network

p.s. If you're using the desktop or mobile website and can't find an option any more, try clicking "⋯ More" on the right of the screen. A lot of options have been moved there in the new update.p.p.s. The next update (4.5) sounds very exciting. It will apparently introduce creation of quote toots and also remote fetching of complete conversations (so that everyone can see all the posts in a conversation no matter what server they're using). This is due at the end of the year apparently.

@fembot Ah yeah, rings a bell!If you're using Mastodon through a browser, you might use the browser's bookmarks as a workaround and a way of categorising them? Sorry if I've suggested this before

@jeremy I don't know, the lead developer @flomp would be the one to ask

p.s. You can find a step-by-step guide to starting your own Mastodon server on my other website Grow Your Own Services at:️ https://growyourown.services/making-your-own-mastodon-server-in-10-stepsThere's also more about starting your own server on other Fediverse platforms here:️ https://growyourown.services/grow-your-own-social-networkIf you are interested in these sorts of topics, you might want to follow my other account:️ @homegrown

@zer0unplanned The circle view is generated by Mastodon's web interface software, so it wouldn't be visible on Friendica.

@SecretAntelope It perhaps greatly depends on the context? Sometimes a thread is a conversation between several people so replying to several makes sense, but sometimes you just want to reply to the OP.

@Kierkegaanks It works depending on what you're using to view the post. I can see your hashtags formatted at the end correctly, because I'm viewing your post from an interface that supports it (in this case the Mastodon web interface but there are others).

@olsenprime You can always move back to your previous server, as long as you don't delete the old account there is no time limit on going back You just do exactly the same transfer process but with the servers swapped round.

@monnier The bot is free open source software (links in the guide), perhaps your server admin could set up an instance of it? With this kind of bot there's no need for everyone to use the same one as there's no network effect.About following threads, maybe that would need to be in your server's software? (i.e. Mastodon etc)

@union Are you viewing it on a phone?There is a ratings column on the "To Read" page and you can sort by ratings by clicking on the small arrow next to it. However, for some reason the ratings column is only visible if the screen is over a certain width If you are on a phone, you could try holding the screen horizontally to make it wider?

@LampOfGoat Thanks for raising this point, I've added a note to the guide warning people about following extremely popular tags.

@chris @hadon You could chat with yourself?

@wuppi Not that I'm aware, mainly because there's so many and their feature sets keep being updated. Most of them are free of charge and paid ones usually have a free trial, so the surest way is to try them.

@tokyo_0 I think part of the problem is the warning being really dull and long, it's really easy to dismiss it without reading it. It does mention losing followers, but it also lists lots of other stuff so this part is sort of buried Maybe because people have to click on cookie boxes on websites so often, they automatically click all such boxes away?

@Lucseleventje That sounds incredibly dangerous to even consider It would encourage identity theft, stalkers turning up at physical addresses, political suppression etc.

@chris Glad you got up the courage But lurking is fine too if people prefer it
