I made a quick video about #phanpy (by @cheeaun)

I’m sorry it is kinda scattershot, but you can see some cool features like catch-up, which is really unique among masto clients, as well as the various layouts, the boost carousel, and threaded replies.

I don’t mention this in the video, but in […]

If you like @phanpy and use an iPhone or iPad, I’ve built an iOS version of it that can be installed via TestFlight right now!

It’s still the same Phanpy, but without the limitations and annoyances that PWAs have on iOS.

It runs smoother, stays longer in […]

Hey everyone, we have some pretty big news to share. You might remember that we announced a big restructuring for the Mastodon team earlier this year. Today marks an important milestone in this transition.

Probably still early to speculate. Either someone can confirm if @elk is still being maintained, or someone needs to take over maintenance.

There hasn't been much updates, but it still fills the gap where Phanpy falls short.

#til there's a server limit on Discord 😅

Joining a new server will show "You must leave a server first to join."

There's a site to get the number of servers you are in: https://github.com/NobreHD/Discord-Server-Count

Subscribing to Nitro plan bump up to 200 servers 🤦‍♂️
