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?
#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!

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.

#Phanpy #phanpysocialdev https://mastodon.social/@cheeaun Hello, can you tell me please how i can exclude all boosted toots/posts from my Home/Follows timeline? The Mastodon UI has a simple, single, toggle for this, but so far i've not deduced how to do it globally with the Phanpy UI [until a better option arises, i need to tediously manually suppress boosts individual by individual]?
Phanpy and GoToSocial is a killer combination.
GoToSocial has some great privacy controls, but has no front end by default. https://gotosocial.org
Phanpy, the alternative Mastodon web client, looks really sleek. https://phanpy.social
And it seems pretty easy to run them side by side.
I think Phanpy probably has the best UX/UI when it comes to image posting, it's simple, everything is at your fingertips without having to click fifteen times everywhere.
