Ron Gilbert (GrumpyGamer)I hate that you can't link to a Mastodon post without it taking you a different server. It's nuts that those links aren't swizzed on the sever. Always taking me to a different server that I'm not logged into is the Achilles heal of Mastodon. Non-tech users are completely confused by this. It's not their fault, it's Mastodon's fault. I know it's not easy to fix, but if Mastodon wanted to fix one thing keep new users, this is it.
JWcph, Radicalized By Decency@grumpygamer Word. And the next one after that might be the related "copy-paste into search" rigamarole for following certain accounts - after two years or so on Mastodon I'm not even sure myself which ones this applies to or why.
Boab@jwcph @grumpygamer if I could look at an account, examine the followers/following and just there choose to also follow, I would recommend the service to everybody. Now with all the server mess. Only to dedicated people
@boab @grumpygamer Very much agree - I also don't recommend this to anyone who isn't already pretty deeply nerdy & might appreciate the idea enough to accept the more cumbersome aspects, but I'd recommend it to everyone if I could be pretty sure not to be hated for it 😝
