I run a Thinkpad and my partner is an early adopter of the v1 Framework. She had quite a few early adopter issues on her leading me to believe the hardware polish isn’t there 100% (eg hinges too weak they had to release an upgrade, this broke the display cable and led to BIOS issues, etc).

I mostly agree, the one place I think Thinkpad could use more maintainability is in mainboard compatibility. Framework promises (TBD) Mainboard compatibility across upgrades, we’ll see if they deliver.

one UX improvement is also in replies. I comment from Mastodon, and because I’m replying to you my post will be federated to feddit.uk but not to your parent comment on feddit.de or the OP on lemmy.ml :|

added in March of last year, and not sure about third party apps since I use the official interface. I find it very useful though, between that, hashtags, public lists of people to follow, and boosts, I set my feed up in about 6 hours and it’s been on minimal-maintenance-mode since and serving me fine. depends on how much the niche communities you like adopt the Fediverse too, YMMV!

I find the “explore” page super useful for exploration! Spend a few minutes twice a day or so and the content quality is quite high, great place to branch out into boosts from. On my instance, I also do my best to curate the global feed to be somewhat useful (though things to creep in at the edges, I need to do some culling now for some Misskey bridges that are pretty loud in that feed).

@r1veRRR I was on social media both before and after algorithmic curation, and I find it no more interesting now (less if anything). YMMV.

feedback on the link bot, may be good to have it only reply once per thread/user combo, because the default Mastodon UX auto-inserts the reference into any future replies (but will start consciously deleting it!)

@crypto (ok what I didn’t realize is that this is also how you post a thread on Lemmy, so condolences to all the Lemmy viewers who already knew this <3 on the upside if you want a crypto-focused Mastodon UI, always open signups on this instance!)

@crypto you can also comment directly from Mastodon. different platforms become differnet skins on the same data, ain’t federation grand?
