Interesting 👀 social.zarchbox.fr/notes/agclh
Extension from @… :

Kagi Translate authentication success page showing enabled social integrations (X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Fediverse, Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, Reddit checked) and disabled premium integrations (Email, YouTube, Twitch) with a note that the page can be closed.
Popover panel for "Kagi Translate" showing three options: "Translate selected text," "Translate entire page," and "Social media," with brief instructions and a "Settings" link.
Settings panel titled "Fediverse Integration" with a purple toggle switched on, description mentioning Mastodon, Pleroma, Akkoma, Elk, and Phanpy, and an option below ("Show translate button on all posts") with its toggle switched off.

Phanpy doesn't support quoots yet, so I'm using Mastodon's stock web interface and.. it's bad. Compare how busy it looks with unnecessary stuff (do I really need a "post" input form on screen at all times? Do I need a link to "favorites" visible at all times?), but also - the fonts are bad. Bad, bad, bad. Just so much harder to read. And the timeline toots just kind of run together, rather than being clearly delineated by whitespace in phanpy.

Phanpy interface, showing a single column with clearly delineated toots. Up top there's a hamburger icon (that gets you links to everything else), a bell icon (for notifications), and on the bottom right hand side of the screen a little ink quill icon for posting. And the font text is bigger/clearer.
Mastodon's official UI home screen. There are three columns taking up the whole screen. Left column has half taken up with an input form for posting a new toot. Then there's some wasted space, and at the bottom a bunch of text links: "social.ridetrans.it: [About] [Profiles directory] [privacy policy]", etc.

The middle column has all the toots from my timeline. There is only a single thin grey line separating the toots, and the text is small and somewhat difficult to read.

The right column…

I love the Phanpy client but I wish there was some kind of toggle for boosts/quotes on the home feed like the native app, dunno if I've already brought this up but it's a hopefully small tweak to make somewhere.

Options to adjust the main home feed in the Mastodon native app that read in order:
1. Show boosts
2. Show quotes
3. Show replies

Mastodon *does* have an algorithmic feed if you want one. It’s identified by different names in different clients but “Trending” is usually part of the name. I think it works well, hit the “Trending posts” and “Trending links” (called “News” in the Masto web client) once a day or so to get a feel for what’s happening in the world.
As with many other things, PhanPy is really good at presenting this stuff..

Removed Google and to my surprise the Admin option vanished because I had none enabled! Added Mastodon back in as phanpy.social (the 'simple' change I set out to do hours ago) and so far I have my tab back. Will enjoy it a bit before I tempt the gods by adding Google-Integration back.

Probably still early to speculate. Either someone can confirm if @… is still being maintained, or someone needs to take over maintenance.
There hasn't been much updates, but it still fills the gap where Phanpy falls short.

Too bad I can't add a Share/Download (image) button due to CORS issue (avatar image and header image). Possibly can fallback to just pure solid-color version but doesn't look as pretty 😆

Switched to LibreWolf and all the profile pics on @… are squares lol, some of them are straight edge on one side but not on the other too, weird.

Weird bug on the Phanpy Mastodon client in LibreWolf, two out of four corners on the profile picture shown in the compose window are rounded, this is in addition to the completely squared profile pictures seen throughout the client not shown in the screenshot.

"Mastodon-ish instances". Wait, what? 👀👀👀

A paragraph above saying "But, of course, while Mastodon.social is the biggest instance - it is far from the only one. What happens if we slide down the long tail? Here's all the Mastodon-ish instances which sent me over 10 clicks."
