So, weekend tally: The number of active users across Mastodon rose by 294K, and posting activity roughly tripled. Lots of new sign-ups, but also many returning users. Fun times!

@Gargron my feed just keeps getting busier and busier lately even though I’ve only added a few new follows. It’s excellent. I just wish I could find more local people. I’m in NYC, which is obviously full of all kinds of activity, but I’m trying to find my New Yorkers here! #newyork #nyc

@bruce yes, thank you, they’re kind of random though. I have the various hashtags as a list. I’m trying to piece together more of a community. #newyork #newyorker #nyc

@Gargron A lot of them are going to wonder why there is no way to quote what someone else is saying. The #QT is an essential feature I really wish you’d seriously consider including, with appropriate controls.
Show threadKristoffer LawsonJul 3, 2023
@edsuom I believe @Gargron has stated that is planned. Also many app clients (like @IceCubesApp) already provide mechanisms to do that.
Show threadJennyJul 3, 2023
@Setok @edsuom @Gargron @IceCubesApp #MonaApp also already provides quote-post capability, and is an excellent all-around app for iOS. @MonaApp

@edsuom Is that "boosting with a comment" / e-mail's "forwarding inline with a comment at the top"?

There are some things I wish I could do on Mastodon (or perhaps the limitation is in the web ui?) but I keep fearing that, if I tried to write down a list of these features, I'd end up with MIME... reminds me of Greenspun's tenth rule, although I guess jwz's law might be a bigger concern :-P

(Jokes aside, MIME allows me to interleave images with plain text, for example. Can that be done here?)

@Gargron How do you check if a user returned to other social media (e.g. Twitter)?
Show threadAdil ArifJul 3, 2023
@Gargron The biggest gap for Twitter users is the weak initial experience when it comes to finding content. Lowering the bar will help here. Things like seeing popular posts and recommending similar liked accounts will do far.
Show threadJennyJul 3, 2023
@adilarif @Gargron It already contains the ability to see trending posts and hashtags
