I've tried Tusky and Fedilab for Masto. Neither is terrible but like, both have probs that mean I have to use both.Tusky: - No quote support (still)- Doesn't find all replies - Emoji support weirdFedilab:- Can't load comments in long reply chain - Refresh doesn't always work - Hard to follow complex convos ...so what else is there to try?#fedi #mastodon #mastoclient #tusky #fedilab

@tiefling you could consider @pachli, which I believe is a fork of tusky. They're almost identical in how the UI looks and is organised. But Pachli has quotes...(I use the Mastodon android app myself. But I also have Pachli installed.)

@leanderlindahlI'm adding it to the list tho I do worry the weird federation for small instances from Tusky might be same. @pachli

@tiefling sounds intriguing, what weird federation? (I'm using the Mastodon app like I mentioned so I'm not defending Pachli/Tusky since I don't really use them.)I think whatever content/posts you get in your app isn't related to which app though. I think its related to your server. In your case bardicperspiration.club and in my case folkdata.se. The app just displays what the server "serves" it has influence over what is fetched or not. At least I think so.

@leanderlindahlWe run the instance, tho we are small. And def the app matters BC as an ex:Tusky: Loads two replies to "other instance." Dio clicks on a profile, sees more replies on remote server. Checks Fedilab.Fedilab: Six replies to same post.Fedilab might be doing something "extra" I guess?

@tiefling @leanderlindahl Tusky has a long-standing bug where some posts on your timeline just get dropped. It might be that.I think (but might be wrong) Fedilab has an option to fetch the original thread from the remote server to try and get missing messages. Recent Mastodon servers can do this too, so it shouldn't make a difference now.

@pachliYes, you're right. Fedilab can query the public API of remote instances to fetch full conversations or profiles directly from the source. Especially useful for small instances with limited federation. On interaction, the search API (WebFinger) brings the post into the local instance so interactions work normally.@tiefling @leanderlindahl
