Have i gone blind? Afaict, the current version of #GlitchSoc used in #InfosecSpace , no longer lets us specify a character-number beyond which toots will automatically fold / collapse. I regarded that as a major reason for even bothering to favour a glitch.social instance [along with, ofc, its support of Markdown formatting].

Maybe this is not even a recent change / degradation? Over recent months i've been repeatedly hopping between the native Masto web page, & #Statuzer, #Phanpy, & #Sengi, so possibly the change happened "unsighted" by me, months ago?

What a bugger!

@jerry - have you heard anything from upstream wrt if they plan to restore this feature, pls?

This is pretty disappointing, not least given the several months-old bug that broke correct behaviour of Unread notifications badge: Display a badge for unread notifications in the column icons when the notifications column isn't open in the #AdvancedWebInterface remains unfixed.

Can anyone corroborate this? At least on mindly.social in the advanced web view over the last week or so, when I click a Translate link for a post, I get "503 Remote data could not be fetched" instead of translated text. It had been working for me prior. This is on Safari on a Mac on the latest beta.

@helpers One of the distinct disadvantages, afaict, with the #Friendica web UI [ie, using a browser] compared to Mastodon, is the inability to see / access / use the Compose Post box unless one is scrolled to the top of the timeline. In Masto, with both its default & #AdvancedWebInterface UI views, the Compose box is always visible, hence available, regardless of any other timeline status. Tbh i find this restriction really frustrating in F.

For various reasons in F i prefer the Vier UI display option over Frio, but afaict my objection pertains to both.

Is there possibly some option buried in Settings that i might have missed, which when enabled makes the Compose Post box available any time, eg, from a top bar link as a popup modal?

Is there some AddOn for this that Friendica server owners could install that remedies this problem?

In absence of anything better, my inefficient workaround is to open a second tab of my F account, in which i then access the box to compose & send my impromptu post, without disturbing my position in my scrolled timeline in the original tab [eg, first thing each morning i scroll down & review all new posts since yesterday, but often think of something i want to say or ask that's not tied to any individual post i might be contemporaneously reading atm, six hours down my timeline].

If anyone is using Bluesky, and looking for a multi-column interface, https://deck.blue/ is very nice. Mastodon's "advanced web interface" could pick up some tips from there, I feel.

Why is the #AdvancedWebInterface for #Mastodon not working in #Firefox? Any ideas @paula ?

Question for people using the #AdvancedWebInterface:

I generally use my arrow keys to gradually scroll a web page as I read. But in those cases that I manage to get the rightmost #mastodon pane to respond to arrow keys at all, it behaves according to "skip one full post up/down" instead of a predictable amount of motion.

Am I just stuck with this? Does anyone have a way to make it move nicely?
