So #Fediverse, tell me - are there any Mastodon clients you really like for the desktop? Specifically, I am hoping for something with a GUI, linux native, and has support for vim motions. The stretch goal would be something cross-platform.

I'll just download and test a bunch if I have to, but hoping one of you can save me the effort, because so far my search-engine-fu is not yielding any results regarding vim-motions. (which I concede is a bit of a long shot)

I updated to the latest version of “Ice Cubes”, the Mastodon client. Now I’m not getting notified of posts in my notifications section. I went a day without a single notification, and thought it was really strange. I went into the app, and found long conversations that I had completely missed out on. Time for some troubleshooting to determine whether my install is corrupted, or if the new version has a bug, or if there is a problem on my OS.

After using @phanpy for a while, I come to understand just how great this Mastodon web client is: github.com/cheeaun/phanpy?tab=

This is what you'd expect from a "modern" web client, i.e. it meets expectations you'll have from using other top-notch web UIs that were built with the users in mind (and with minimal, state-of-the-art frontend technologies).

❤️ Also, it's got such a great logo 🐘!
