Unfortunately, none of the Mastodon applications have a separate button for private messages. Formally, the “Direct messages” button is available in several applications. However, this is a standard input field for all messages where you need to mark with a special icon that you want to send a personal message that only the recipient can view. This is inconvenient and during intensive correspondence you may forget to mark “Only for the addressee” when sending the next message.

I want a simpler and clearer interface like in the Jerboa or Infinity for Reddit applications. However, no one is engaged in such development. All Mastodon applications are similar to one another to one degree or another.

Make the app for Mastodon similar to Jerboa.

Thanks, I didn’t know about this fork. But I think 258 megabytes is a lot for a messenger.

I think the fastest application of the old Matrix was Syphon, which was not updated for a long time. But I also used SchildiChat.

The most negative opinion about itself was kept by the application SmalTalk. Despite being minimalist, the size of the application grows larger over time. In addition, the application froze forever during synchronization - I had to delete it and install it again.

Many developers post their dev-alpha-beta versions of applications on various platforms.

It’s definitely not a matter of the blacklist where unwanted users are listed.

The people whose comments were hidden were strangers to me before.

I recently tried to register in XMPP. I found a site on the Internet with a list of servers and it took me more than an 30minets to register.

You may ask why it took so long? The fact is that registration was closed on some sites. Some sites did not open through the browser.

I managed to register on some servers, but messages to these addresses were not delivered (messages sent from these addresses also did not reach the recipient).

Quick registration through the Conversations and Blabber applications also produced errors.

(One of the problematic servers is og.im)

In general, if you want to quickly register and start chatting with a friend without any problems, this may not work.

I think one recommended server added by default to the application by the developer could solve this problem. (For example, like in Matrix, where you are asked to register with matrix.org)

I wonder why the developers don’t create a release for F-droid?

I’ve tried every Android app out there and Element X is truly the fastest of them all. I’m talking about applications for Matrix, of course.

I hope the application remains fast after adding all the features.

For some reason the image does not load in Jerboa

Guys, let me ask a question.

How can you hide your comments from others seeing them?

I started thinking about this possibility when I came across people’s profiles where comments were hidden. (Also, when clicking on “Send message” this option was not available.)

I found the “Content visibility” and “Active in communities visibility” items in the settings (Account - Profile) and disabled them. Then I checked what my profile looks like from another application where I do not use my account. The result is that all comments are still visible.

How do other users restrict viewing from comments and the ability to message them?

If wearing a mask is not against the law, then it is probably appropriate to wear a mask to protect privacy…

Why are all Mastodon apps similar to each other? In my opinion, there is not a single client whose UI is strikingly different from the original. 😐

I would be happy to buy only high-quality, expensive products)

Of course, there are varieties of cheese that do not cause any complaints. They’re just more expensive.

Thanks for the detailed comment!

Perhaps this aftertaste is caused by some unnatural ingredients in the composition. Nowadays, milk fat substitutes, calcium chloride and many other bad things are added to inexpensive cheeses.

It would be interesting to listen to the opinion of a technologist who produces similar products.

I’m just wondering - are famous musicians good guys in real life?

Did you communicate with the musicians?

What does PA stand for?

I wonder why this name came about?
