How do you know you may be a little too invested in the Fediverse? Last night I had a dream I was enthusiastically recommending @phanpy to someone... 😆

Dreams aside, #Phanpy is truly the best and if you haven't tried out its Catch Up feature, you're missing out BIG TIME. Thank you @cheeaun for your brilliant work on it!

@runoutgroover I keep referring to it as the BEST social media client ever... Catch Up is sooooo good... I love that I can click on photos of my Fedi friends to see what they have posted lately... and filter out boosts and replies so I can see only original posts

@amlor yes it does! I have both my Mastodon and my GoToSocial accounts in Phanpy. Heck back in the day I even had Pixelfed on there. Anything compatible with the Mastodon API works.

I'm using Phanpy on a daily basis since years... but what is this "catch up" feature? I think I'm missing something huge!

@Greguti whaaaaaat?!? You HAVE to try it Grégory.

It's the second item in the menu. You click on it, select the span of time you want to fetch posts from (say, 10 hours) and it will create an interface showing posts organized by the accounts you follow - their profile image is in a circle. You can check for example only original posts by people you follow organized in chronological order. I'm doing a terrible job at explaining succinctly how wonderful it is. Maybe I'll write an article about it

@Greguti Sería muy interesante, un artículo dedicado a explicar, como funciona esta opción que nos ofrece Phanpy. Yo la he usado poco y no tengo todavía muy claro, cual es la función que la hace tan especial, con respecto a la línea de tiempo.

Just tried this, blew me away, uninstalled the Mastodon app from my #FairPhone and added the page as an app to my home screen. It feels like the most human friendly social media app I've ever used!

I switched to #Phanpy about a week ago after someone pointed out that you could view a user's actual posts with boosts filtered out. Definitely helpful in deciding whether or not to follow. I also love having boosts visibly separated out in my feed!

I only wish there was a native android app! The PWA ends up reloading when I open it more often than not and I lose my place. Literally, my only complaint.

Really love Phanpy, but sadly one thing pushed me back to the standard interface on desktop - emojis.

Phanpy's emoji picker only gives an instance's custom emojis, not standard ones.

Using Elena's post as an example, how did you post 😆? Is the mobile client different?

It may sound trivial, but over time it became annoying enough to stop me using Phanpy. 😔

A 2 year old unassigned request I found for this just lists impractical workarounds:

Add standard emojis on desktop

The emoji dialog on the compose pane on Phanpy only features the custom emojis from the current instance, not the "standard" ones. When using Phanpy on desktop, the emojis provided by the Android k...

@emeline @imalcolm I generally encourage using the OS’ built-in emoji picker, which will work on any sites and any apps.

It would be worthwhile to spend a bit of time to figure out how to use them. The OS should support some sort of picker as they need to render them too, and the list of emojis need to be updated annually.
