Two Fediverse clients I like are Elk and Phanpy, but both had the same issue: the inability to filter "replies" and "boosts" from the timeline. For me this is essential. I can't keep up with my timeline, and if I also see replies to posts unrelated to what I follow, it just becomes chaos. So I tried to implement these filters and opened a PR.

The Elk developers have already merged it into the main branch, so we should soon see the two hide options appear in Elk. Hopefully the same will happen in Phanpy as well, because this greatly improves the experience on two excellent Fediverse tools, which are also compatible with snac.

#phanpy

I wish I had #fediverse ( #mastodon #pleroma #akkoma #friendica #hubzilla #iceshrimp #snac #lemmy #mbin #kbin #piefed ) #client , I mean like #ELK #lmst #pl-fe #phanpy #tooty #sengi #pinafore #halcyon . That would allow me to sort my subscription feed & browse sorted feed, to see ONLY relevant posts (on topic updates follow-up's?).
Well, the mastodon feature of "LISTS" tries something similiar by allowing to make a sorted list of people\subscription, sorted by your custom category/topic. But it doesn't include #tags. Each #tag must be browsed separately, individually, manually, and there is no feature of list of tags in mastodon.
Lemmy, mbin, kbin, piefed and other #reddit #forum like #activitypub implementations allow you to have topics-threads, but each thread does not replicate very well across multiple servers/instances. Can't be easely crossposted ( by pinging multiple category-bots). And doesn't replicate & easily-searchable as classic mastodon #tags.

Other things I don't like:
- twitter like reposts. they make you feel you subscribed not to the original "reposter" friend, but to "reposted content" that you never subscribed for. the #f2f p2p architecture of #scuttlebot ( #scuttlebutt) kinda eliminates that, they don't have nor show reposts. you see there only original posts, original content, of friends you follow. Kinda helps to slow down the mind from informational overflow. You can opt out to see posts of friend's friends, if you want more. Tags are also supported there.
- threads consist only of information aggretator url sharing in reddit like clones. Without having OP OC like in bbs|AgoraRoad , they just silo you to clickbait to other web sites.

Happy 3rd birthday #Phanpy!!! And congratulations @cheeaun for this incredible milestone!!! 🥳

My favorite thing about Phanpy is definitely its Catch Up feature. The Fediverse already has a strong focus on genuine human connections... and Phanpy's Catch Up takes things to the next level. I love clicking on the profile photos of people I follow to see what they've been up to.

In my eyes Phanpy is the BEST social media client out there.

Thank you for Phanpy and keep up the incredible work!

Phanpy celebrates its third anniversary today.
If you've never tried it, give it a shot. It's possibly the best Mastodon (and more) client on the Fediverse.

Intéressant ça, l'extension Kagi traduction s'intègre directement dans Phanpy (il remplace le bouton de traduction de base propose par Phanpy)

Gotta say, I like the way @phanpy handles boosts. It makes original posts really stand out. Good job, folks!

@cheeaun Happy Birthday #Phanpy!

I just noticed that when there is a large time gap between a post and a reply, #Phanpy adds notice to be read as the French narrator from SpongeBob

checking which clients support Mastodon's undocumented annual report ( #Wrapstodon) notification and wow, #phanpy is elaborate

@sebsauvage
Pareil que les autres, merci pour la recommandation de Phanpy ce super client mastodon.
J'adore la fonction catch-up qui permet d'avoir un affichage chronologique des dernières heures avec possibilité de filtrer et changer l'ordre de tri des messages.

#phanpy

@silverpill Looks like mastodon wanted everyone to switch to conversations, which I tried but found the results messy, at least the way I implemented the UI. I think #phanpy supports it, can't remember offhand other clients.
