Introducing Best-o-Masto (birchtree.me)
 

Best-o-Masto is an alternative Mastodon client that does very little, but on purpose. When you open the app, it shows you the 20 most popular posts from accounts you follow in the last few hours. You can favorite those posts, boost them, or open them in a real Mastodon client, and that's about it.

I say with complete sincerity that Best-o-Masto is my favorite new app on my home screen in quite a while. Yes, I made it, but I made it because nobody made the Mastodon client that I wanted to exist. I don't want to get sucked into my feed. I don't want the noise to make me miss the important stuff. I just want to see what's going on and I want to get out.

Avoid dependence on app stores so if an app is removed from Play Store it doesn't matter as much.

Increase privacy - closed groups.

It needs to be possible to move an instance to another domain if an old one is blocked/revoked.

Yes, backend server.

You could run all 3 but it would be redundant as they all have the same content and people :D

Remember this big discussion? https://lemmy.ml/post/36058152

PieFed has had that feature for a long time, and many more besides. https://join.piefed.social/features/

Yeah and if he had been getting more lefty they would have said that, not the intentionally vague "more political".

Whether you use AI, think it's a "fun stupid thing for memes", or even ignore it, you should know it's already polluting worse than global air travel. in c/technology@lemmy.world

The emoji usage, heading & bold text pattern makes me certain the article was written using AI.

Well, actually, PieFed.social has enabled it's API which means that the app Interstellar can be used with it. Find out more about the app at https://interstellar.jwr.one/. iOS users can use the testing version at https://testflight.apple.com/join/JXRtHye2

https://feddit.online/, another PF instance, has enabled the API too and I expect others will follow in good time.

This community is hosted on piefed.social which has flair to keep posts organized.

It's for tech-related news and discussion. Link to anything, it doesn't need to be a news article. But let's keep the politics and business side of things to a minimum.

No memes.
