With all the new people on the fediverse lately, I’m kind of getting overwhelmed by the multi-column UI.

I have been using the “advanced” interface for #mastodon (TweetDeck style) ever since I joined, mostly because I never got around to trying out the now-standard one when it was introduced.

But with all the new people on the fediverse lately, I’m kind of getting overwhelmed by the multi-column UI.

So I thought I’d give the simpler one a try.

And you know what, it’s actually a nicer balance! Going to try this and @pinafore and see which I end up liking better for desktop.

One problem: I don’t see a way to pin hashtag searches in either of them the way I can in the multi-column view. (I’m thinking it should appear similar to the Lists feature.) Am I missing something, or is it just not implemented in either of these UIs?

IMO there are two sensible ways to handle granular push #notification preferences:

1. Use the system’s per-app settings for all of it. (Tusky does this, even putting your per-account preferences in the system UI)
2. Use the app’s settings for all of it, and let the system just be an on/off toggle for what you’ve chosen in the app (like it was before the system had UI for it)
