Scott Hanselman ✅👸🏽🐝🌮iPhone tooters of Mastodon! Yes we have figured out by now that #MetaText is the early leader in phone clients. However, I do encourage you to have all the clients installed and try them out as updates are happening. I’ve turned notifications of on all but one, but the official Mastodon iPhone client just got a nice update. Has a news tab. Tooot (3 o’s) has been getting updated lately as well. Choice is good! Mix it up and don’t be afraid to have several secondaries installed and revisit them.
Stefan Koell@shanselman As soon as someone finds a client (mobile and desktop) which remembers the last read toot and starts the timeline there, please let me know.
Sören@stefankoell @shanselman the Mastodon API has supported this since ca. 3.0. (It calls these “markers”.)
I *believe* the regular web app sets and reads them. I haven’t found anything else that does.
(I’ve started implementing it in a macOS client. And here’s a feature request for it in an iOS app: https://feedback.mastoot.app/feature-requests/p/timeline-position-syncing)
@shanselman @chucker Thanks, Sören! I know about the API but I can't really say that the web client is using this. For me this doesn't seem to work (or I don't know how to use it). I often change machines/browsers, so it's always a struggle. iOS client which honors the markers would also be nice.
