I had a couple of people complain they saw a "post pending" message on a quote-post I made yesterday.

My solution: Click on the time stamp of the post (bottom right corner), which opens a new window, showing the pending post.

Not sure of the UI of every Mastodon app for the time stamp, but I suspect that should work well for most users.

PSA: If you edit a poll in a post here on Mastodon, it re-sets to zero, and you lose all responses/data to date.

(In the past week or so, especially, I've seen a few peeps find this out the hard way, and it's quite shite..)

There are many important reasons why Mastodon and the wider Fediverse are spread out on so many different servers. Here is an easy-to-understand non-technical guide about all of these reasons:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/why-is-the-fediverse-on-so-many-separate-servers

A network spread out on many different providers might sound complicated and unfamiliar, but all of us use very similar networks all the time when we make phone calls or send emails. More info at https://fedi.tips/what-is-mastodon-what-is-the-fediverse

There's a list of Mastodon-compatible apps here;

https://joinmastodon.org/apps

Sadly, the 'Desktop' category is not sortable by desktop OS. Based on a quick skim of linked homepages, these ones are available for GNU/Linux (or GNU/BSD?);

Tokodon is a KDE app. WhaleBird and FediStar offer a range of packaging methods. TheDesk and Sengi have .deb packages available. No idea if all these are graphical.

The rest appear to be only for MacOS or Windows only, or proprietary.
