Mastodon is cool but it lacks my favorite feature from birdsite which is the timeline jumping as soon as your eyes see an interesting post that you'll never find again
@lunarogue As an Aspie, that makes me want to throw my phone across the room, every time.

@lunarogue 🀣

Damn do I hate that.

@lunarogue Try the public timeline, for size πŸ˜‰
@lunarogue Misskey does have this ​​
@cookie @lunarogue at least Misskey doesn't have a timeline algorithm so you can come back to that post. Unlike Birdsite where if you scrolled over a post already you won't see it ever again
@lunarogue "Oh that was interesting I ... I can't remember what it was and I will never know now."
@lunarogue I love moving the mouse towards the like button and the Twitter timeline jumping right before I click so I like a completely random tweet

@avi @lunarogue

(from a (horrified) person that never had a birdsite account)
Why did you stay so long on this thing???

@lunarogue Joke aside, I think that this can be toggled from the preferences (isn't this what the disabling the β€œSlow mode” option does?)
@lunarogue stand and relax Β―\_ (ツ) _/Β―
@lunarogue May I share this on Twitter? Its a grrat joke!
@lunarogue My timeline does have that feature… I'm not sure who should be jealous of whom.
Just get the worst client you can find in your app store of choice and it will make a large portion of the Fediverse neigh unreasonable.

That's the fun part of open source software: you have to do all of it yourself, even (especially) basic features like "making this suck worse".
@lunarogue for me that sounds like the federated timeline lol
@lunarogue the first party client does this on the algo-social site's Home feed.
twidere.com app lets me view both mastodon and twitter in a single feed and post simultaneously to both.
it fixes the whole resort while im reading issue too.
Get Twidere

Mobile client for Twitter & Mastdon.

Twidere
@lunarogue To be fair, when I reply to a post in home, it ends up with home back at the top and my reply, which is a pain. I'd like it to stay put so I heel going down home and catching up. So mastodon is trying to be as annoying as the twit.
@lunarogue I really miss this feature too. I totally love it πŸ˜‚

@lunarogue

I favorite a post I want to find again.

@lunarogue I'd like a Mastodon feature where it shows my feed in a random order. Linear time is too simple to follow.
@lunarogue this! And this is the the most important feature!
@lunarogue this, so many damn times
@lunarogue feature request to @Gargron - add an out-in β€žtwitterize my timelimeβ€œ user setting πŸ€£πŸ™ˆπŸ€ͺ
@lunarogue
Try looking at the federated timeline from the advanced front end of the web view - it happens there quite a bit!
@dheadshot @lunarogue what is the federated timeline?
@MrmLhasa
It's the timeline with all known posts from all known instances (that is, known by your instance). It's not available on the official app for stupid reasons, but you can access it on the web and in 3rd party apps.
@lunarogue
@lunarogue yeah the pure cronological timeline has pros and cons.
@lunarogue try bookmarking...if you are fast enough. But then the too many bookmarks will make you loose sight.
@lunarogue I've found checking out the Federated timeline does the trick! πŸ˜†
@lunarogue seriously! Every. Damn. Single. Time.
@lunarogue I reckon you'll find that feature if you focus on the federated timeline! 🀣
@lunarogue I'm sure there must be some way you can simulate that
@lunarogue i gotta be honest that the one flaw in the official Mastodon client is that it doesn't save your position when you refresh the timeline. :(

@lunarogue i actually thought that only i had that problem because of my 10000 firefox addons getting in the way

i always said to my self "that can't be a bug in twitter it must be me i mean nobody would use that crap if it was full of annoying bugs right?"

@lunarogue I find if I miss it, I can just go to my federated feed using Chrome, and it bounces all over the place for me!

posssttjitterjitterpoosssstwheeeeeposfffffukkkpooosttttgaaaaah!

@lunarogue I always thought that it marks the Tweets somehow as already read and if you not like it instantly or retweet it, the post just gets taken out of your visible timeline.
@lunarogue you'll be glad to know that misskey has that then
@[email protected] misskey also replicates the other best feature from twitter: an incredibly bloated web app!
@lunarogue this just jumped into my sight.
@lunarogue me, when i accidentally jump to latest posts: oh no, i'm never gonna find it againβ€” wait, i can just scroll down? Just scroll down and the post will still be there? 
@lunarogue Friendica (another part of the #fediverse) has this =)
