if it were easy enough to implement changes and addons to the front end, mastodon could just be supported by seeing what addons get used near-globally and adding them to the default
Just tried reading a blog post linked on Hacker News, but the blog on the domain had since been replaced with a Mastodon instance apparently, so I just got greeted by the Mastodon 404 page.
Made for a few seconds of confusion until I figured it out.
is "someone followed by someone else on the instance replied to a post" seriously something that federates over a post like it's cool but it's also pretty opaque
okay so i haven't read homestuck but i know it has like time shenanigans so uh consider a homestuck rp instance where the timestamps are actually intentionally breakable
i like how i can just say "ping" and multiple people will immediately pong i'm pretty sure any other social network you'd just get like, ignored or maybe 1 response
current list of times on the federated timeline that i just saw, in order of display: 43 seconds ago 11 minutes ago 1 minute ago 8 hours ago 28 minutes ago 7 hours ago 1 hour ago 4 minutes ago
