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:

I wish that "advanced" mode was a Tweetdeck clone. It's not. Tweetdeck is not about having columns; it's about filtering what you see in those columns. The advanced mode does not let you do that (or add additional columns). Having columns in no way makes it a clone.

@allenholub fair. "clone" was the wrong word. it has some similar functionality and a familiar feel to tweetdeck. not all the same features.

@allenholub @willoremus True. Currently you have two options for filtering or discovering something new: hashtags and local timeline from your instance. Lists from accounts you don't follow would be great, also a selective mute-feature.
