I use fedilabs, don’t know if the other apps have caught up (hope they did) but the timeline function where you can add timelines from whatever instance you like and also have tags as timelines is so OP.

Since I spend most of my time browsing other instance timelines that feature is a must.

Just for me to understand this as I’m pretty new. Each instance has their own “timeline” aka homepage or feed with all content (people you follow, tags etc.), and you either have to access each instance separately or use something like the app you mentioned?

Each instance has a “local” feed of posts from that instance. Same as how local works on Lemmy.

You also have your “home” feed (like our Subscribed, it’s for posts from people you follow) and a “federated” feed (like our All, everything your instance knows about).

I mostly use Mastodon on desktop and I can pin columns with my fave hashtags in as their own separate feed, which is nice.

Thanks, that helps!! The separate timeliness ads actuly pretty awesome. Basically a curated list of topics/people instead of everything being thrown at you like Twitter.

Good to hear fedilab is still one of the better ones. Haven’t used any much lately but I’ll just stick with it

The official one lacks lists, local, world… how is anyone supposed to find people to follow?

I believe that much like Lemmy, there’s an “all” button that gives you everything from everywhere.
