I hope at some point Mastodon will stop trying to copy a second rate TweetDeck UX, and instead give more room to breathe to my local timeline. Everything feels so cramped, right now, it's almost anxiety inducing
@ebassi Just turn off the advanced view and switch to the single timeline view in settings?
@ebassi @sesivany Oh, whoops. Good point, I keep forgetting that I am on an instance with a modified version of Mastodon, and it has this feature. Sorry about that!
I guess there's not really a way to follow hashtags on vanilla Mastodon.. The lists there seem to only be able to include people.
What you could do is bookmark the hashtags instead. For example, if you want to follow feditips, you would bookmark https://mastodon.social/web/tags/feditips there and use your browser's features to visit those. Not as convenient I'm afraid but that's the only solution I can currently think of with the simplified timeline.
@trinsec @sesivany thanks, but I have no idea how to do that; there’s no such preference on mastodon.social that I can see
