Chris TrottierPRO TIP: Before replying to a post, be sure to check if it's part of a larger thread.
Often, what is said on Mastodon requires more context.
Every day, I have someone in my mentions who's upset because they read *one* post in a thread, and make big conclusions.
Then I ask them, "Have you read the whole thread?"
Well, have you?
QYME@atomicpoet I'm all for having a timeline showing you the last post but mastodon probably should have a feature that show you the first message of a thread with an "updated thread" warning/signal on it if something is added to it.
A way to colate/colapse all that has been read before would be nice to (and fully controlable by the user).
Maybe there's an extension somewhere for that, i dunno.
@QYME Other Fediverse software like Pleroma and Calckey does that.
But you're using Mastodon.
So you're going to have to make additional effort until you decide to use something more suited to your needs.
Shelenn Ayres@atomicpoet @QYME Friendica and Hubzilla do not have this issue as macroblogs.
