phanpy
I really love the catch-up feature on @phanpy. When I don't have time to scroll through my timeline on the Fediverse, I can simply see the most shared, liked, and commented-on posts from the networks *I decided to follow*. I know I'll still miss some good posts, but that's how I discover good ones I missed.
We can select the time range we want to catch up on. 1/2
After the disruption from the nightly build on Monday, I began experimenting with both @phanpy and @elk, alternate Web interfaces for Mastodon.
While #Elk is quite nice with always-available mouse-based back navigation, it doesn't seem to support either multi-column views or auto-refreshing timelines.
So, #Phanpy is a much better fit for my use case. However, it suffers the same limitation sorting notifications as the current unfixed nightly build, i.e. no quick-access filter bar.

If anyone has a problem logging into phanpy.hear-me.social, or maybe any other Phanpy instance, clear the cookies for the site. Two of us had difficulty logging in (myself and one other) and this resolved the issue.
I'm working on a new post for #TheFutureIsFederated that aims to show what interoperability looks like on the #Fediverse.
As I said before, it feels like ✨ magic ✨
I logged in @phanpy for the first time using my @pixelfed credentials and I used its incredible catch-up feature to see posts I had missed. Mind = blown 🤯 😍

Hi @cheeaun - wondering if #Giphy integration into #Phanpy is still something you are considering? Know there are ways like how Signal did this to be privacy preserving.... https://signal.org/blog/giphy-experiment/
Here is my periodic posting that #phanpy is just an amazing UX. One of the best social user interfaces of any social platform. A joy to use and keeps improving. cc @cheeaun
Hm.. The trending page on the dev instance of #phanpy isn't updating anymore. At least for a couple of days already. The official mastodon client doesn't seem to have that issue. Someone else?
#phanpy mention
"I use Phanpy, which has a hilarious little animation with an animated rubber stamp that leaves a red-ink “Spam” or whatever on the post you’re reporting."

#phanpy 的 回看模式堪称流量杀手，专门杀和自己follow关系的所有人 的服务器。
如果你用浏览器开发者工具禁用了图片的加载，而且只有这张图片没被加载的话，它可以疯狂重复直到把你的浏览器卡崩，而且180秒过去还没成功它会偷偷把媒体当成json加载，确保加载成功。
为什么要批量下载指定（含所有）时间里面的所有东西？

到底catch了什么？反正也不看，等到100年后全死了再catch up吧（笑
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 Safari on iPhone, if you click share and “Add to Home Screen”, it will create an icon that lets you open phanpy like an app (so no extra extra extraneous browser UI elements).
#Hollo finally has #Misskey/#Threads-style quotes! It's easy to use. Just paste the link to the post you want to quote into your post! It will automatically recognize a link to an ActivityPub post (supports Article, Note, and Question) and turn it into a quote.
FYI, if you're using #Phanpy, you can use the Quote button that appears when you press the boost icon!

WHY CAN'T I JUST DECIDE ON AN APP AND KEEP USING IT!?

Finally broke looking at the new #Mastodon interface and decided to try #Phanpy, but it's even more bloated.
Fired up my old #Sengi desktop client but it looks like the code is no longer maintained and the version I have doesn't work any more.
Didn't there used to be other popular web interfaces you could use to connect to your Mastodon account (on any instance)?
I didn't know #Phanpy has an algo... I mean a special feed to find stuff you may have missed while not online. It's called Catch-up.

Nice!
![Catch-up (BETA): downloads several hours worth of your home feed and then provides multiple ways to sort, group and filter them.
Choose what kind of posts to show:
All / Original / Replies / Boosts / Followed tags
Sort them by (each can be reversed):
Date / Replies / Likes / Boosts / Density [= post length?]
Group them by:
None / Authors
On the top the page also displays various statistics, such as number of posts per followed account. (I have censored most names and profile pictures.)](/proxy/post_attachment/527207/4997d8da48.png "Catch-up (BETA): downloads several hours worth of your home feed and then provides multiple ways to sort, group and filter them.

Really nice touch for alt text on Phanpy. As your mouse hovers over an image, the corresponding alt text is highlighted below.
