Comment on An EXTREMELY Simple Guide to Mastodon

  Unfortunately, it looks like Fedilab is a mobile app only.

  Also, I’ve installed it on Android and the default does not show the OP above with replies grouped below.

  Looking at its settings, maybe one might affect completely missing OPs, “Remote Conversations”. I’ve enabled it and will see how it goes.

  I can’t find any setting to make it show replies grouped below the OP.

    Correct, it is mobile only. Unfortunately, I think I must be misunderstanding what you’re saying about the op stuff. This is my view, The way I think about it, at least, these are all “OPs”, ones with a plus sign next to the leftward arrow. Have comments. Image

    And then if I tap, I get the op with its comments underneath it. Image

      Thanks for explaining that, now I can eventually see the OP.

      I want more like the second picture by default (although I wish the tap would take me direct to the OP instead of to the reply and then I have to scroll up).

      I don’t want to see a main feed full of replies I don’t understand because there’s no context and have to decide whether it’s worth tapping and scrolling up dozens (hundreds?) of times a day to find out what it’s about.

      I want by default to see the OP with replies underneath (perhaps the replies collapsed or collapsible). Then I can decide based on the OP, not guess by the reply, if I want to read through that thread or scroll past to the next.

      Maybe it’s cuz I’m new and all the content is new. Once I’m in, perhaps I’ll want to see unaccompanied replies. But for now, I want to see OPs first, then replies once I’ve read the OP.
