@mellifluousbox Fix alt text so that it displays on mouseover once again instead of requiring multiple clicks as it now does.
@mellifluousbox post to list/circles would be very handy.
Show more than 4 pictures from services that allow posts with more picture attachments.
being able to add hashtags to lists
In my own opinion I think all instances should use #mastodonbirdui , but I know that is all personal preference.
Also better onboarding for sure
@mellifluousbox A standards based post migration solution would be nifty!
@box464 @mellifluousbox +1 to this! I’d love to see an implementation of the LOLA work on mastodon
@mellifluousbox I would like to see starter packs rolled out more evenly than quotes were. By which I mean, I hope everyone is eligible to be included in them.
The privacy setting for quotes rolled out before quotes arrived, but those of us on servers that have the quote settings but aren’t on 4.5 yet can’t be quoted.
I hope this is not repeated with Packs—I don’t think it will be a good dynamic to give that kind of exposure only to accounts on bleeding-edge servers.
@mellifluousbox better UI designing DM and other good features
easier onboarding. it still feels linux-nerdy at mastodon and i believe its a reason to not join
ai integration
integrated own-browser based news collection with topics to pick, improved chat like dm‘s, call function, video meet function, separate video & photo feeds, file-sharing a la we-transfer, improved global search, global follow option, payments, maps, traffic, public transportation, booking
more fancy ui design
make it a social hub for daily needs
@mellifluousbox no AI and yes backdated posts
Better management for media content. When scrolling through old images for example, after the first few recent images it takes _ages_ to load older images
@mellifluousbox
- improved ui (tangerine by default?)
- groups
- better/easier ux about private accounts (like private account=all posts private, no choice possible)
- circles (or mutuals only)
- more than 4 images on a post
- support longform post (blog articles) and markdown, events
- support rss? (would be great)
@mellifluousbox I wish more people from academia will migrate to Mastodon, specially from the #STS field
That mastodon remains a social media by all means.
@mellifluousbox Definitely more diversity, more so than simply more people on here.
