One thing that Mastodon newcomers may not realize is how easy it is to turn Mastodon for web into essentially a Tweetdeck clone, with columns for search/compose, home, notifications, and any lists you've set up. It takes literally seconds.

Here's what mine looks like right now:

@willoremus I had to turn off boost and fav alerts because my notifications was getting way too busy

@alex @willoremus yep, the UX is not great when things get busy. I still haven't figured out how to turn off the sounds on notifications for replies.

@jdp23 @willoremus sound settings should be in the hamburger menu at the top of the column

@alex @willoremus they are for New followers, new follow requests, and favorites. Not for replies.

@jdp23 @willoremus Hrmm, is that covered under "mentions"?

@alex indeed it is, thanks much!

And, how embarassing! There's no indication that it's scrollable so i never thought of scrollingn down to find it under mentions! 😂

@alex well please don't tell any tech reporters about this, I wouldn't want to lose credibility!
