I enable approval requirements for follow requests mostly to avoid various spam/fishing like this account created today on mastodon.social. I normally reject the request and block the user. I

Seems like it might be useful to be able report the request but don’t see that option. Normally using the #IceCubes app.

What do other folks do? Suggestions for good hashtags?

Po przeszło czterech latach korzystania z oficjalnej appki #mastodon na iOS w końcu dałem sobie z nią spokój i przesiadłem się (póki co) na #icecubes. Pierwsze wrażenia bardzo spoko. Developerom oficjalnej appki życzę odnalezienia kierunku i konsekwencji w podążaniu nim. Od jakiegoś czasu miałem wrażenie, że rozwój odbywa się po omacku…

#IceCubes app seems to be fine and dandy. No complaints from me 😊.
Still can’t post to my pixelfed.social account from my #IceCubes app. The login process passes the auth, but then just returns to the login page. Account works fine in the #Pixelfed app, and there aren’t any pending IceCubes updates, so… 🤷‍♂️
So… my #pixelfed account won’t load on #IceCubes 🤔

Mastodon is great social network. It feels like the old time twitter or forums with no algorithms and very small and friendly community, but the fact that you can see an answer from a person, open their profile and see 0 posts while a counter above shows 1k posts - it's frustrating.

I understand it's a federated network and pulling all posts can create a performance issues, but from a user's perspective it makes no sense. I need to click "Open original page link" to see the same profile on their instance.

If I need to comment something, I need to copy a link to the post and search in on my instance (this specific post will be synchronized).

Given that all of those posts are available on the server to see, why not just load them from another server in my UI?

No need to load them on backend, just show me them on frontend , it will be a good enough solution.

It's a well-known issue that was brought a multiple times, but with no solution so far.

It would be great if clients would mimic it, in frontend and especially third party ones, like Ice Cubes.

#mastodon #icecubes why do I consistently reach the ‘end’ of my timeline? I wake to sometimes 500+ posts, scroll to the newest, then minutes later reach the last post available, then nothing updates.

Ich glaube die hashtag Vorschläge bei der Ice Cubes App sind neu 🤯

Tolles Feature, thank you 🤗@IceCubesApp

Was muss man eigentlich in #IceCubes einstellen, damit man z.B. Hashtags automatisch generieren lassen kann?
@print #IceCubes client "helpfully" coverts the hashtags down to all lower cae.
