And it looks like this is going to happen officially! I know I wasn’t the first or even a primary voice in any of these discussions but I’m super glad that this will be coming according to @Gargron! Really great news.

@film_girl @Gargron oh sweet. Any chance of a link to the confirmation?

Attached: 1 image I didn’t poll to force the issue, my brain normally doesn't work this way (and this week it barely works at all). But really happy to see the quick response from the project, having support server side will make for a much better experience all around.

@film_girl oh nice. For some reason I read that as Tapbots adding it 🤦🏼‍♂️ Missed the significance of it being from @Gargron
@film_girl Um, is that really Gargron at mastodon dot social, in the screenshot? It’s not his avatar…
@JustinW80 yes, it’s from the Discord for supporters per @paul
@film_girl Oh! The emoji reactions should have tipped me off that it was Discord. I thought it was a Mastodon screenshot. Thanks!
@film_girl I look forward to making quips and puns for all to see
@film_girl @Gargron !!! I had been thinking "no matter what anyone thinks, we're going to need something like it if Tumblr wants to federate through activitypub"
@atonal440 as far as I know, ActivityPub supports it. It was a choice (and I think a bad/wrong one) to not include it in Mastodon.
@film_girl @atonal440 but what a world we live in that we seem to be able to influence the direction of the service though!
@film_girl @Gargron This Elk app you recommended really makes mastodon much much better, thanks. Can there be a tweetdeck copycat soon??? That would be a killer app
MastoDeck - advanced Mastodon client

The ultimate Mastodon client for power users. Real-time, fully customizable, built to match how you use Mastodon.

mastodeck.com
@JPellat totally agree about wanting more power user apps tho!
wow, it really is just like tweetdeck.... More people should know these things! Thanks
