@jaydubs #IceCubesApp is indeed great. But if you like the instance feature, you might also want to give #Tusker a look πŸ™‚ (Not Tusky, BTW) It has the instance feature where you can add multiple instance timelines, but also has list and hashtag support, which I missed in IceCubesApp.

Ivory looks good and and in time might become great, but at the moment, it has the least amount of new/interesting features, IMO. Plus, it only works with Mastodon servers only and leaves out other Mastodon-compatiblie servers like Akkoma/Pleroma. Incidentally, IceCubesApp has the same issue. But Tusker works with other Fedi-servers too.

@jaydubs I've used #IceCubeApp on and off for several weeks but I had to modify the code to make it work for Akkoma πŸ™‚ I submitted a PR for the change but they didn't really want to do it my way and it looks as if Akkoma compatibility isn't a priority for them.

I kind of lost interest at that point since I found Tusker at the same time. So I don't know if I misrepresented things to you (about hashtags and lists) due to bad memory, or if that was added very recently ... But if the latter, then probably within the last week since I was using IceCubes last week (I think ..)

@jaydubs I just tried out the build I have of #IceCubesApp because I was curious β€” was my memory that bad? πŸ˜› Couldn’t find the hashtags or lists on the main UI. And I couldn’t see any references to hashtags or lists in the commit notes for the source code for the last week …

So it might be that it was there always but I never found it? I have no idea. Where do you find the hashtags and lists feature in #IceCubesApp? In #Tusker they are on the main sidebar where you can add different hashtags to follow or create lists of people to follow …

@Djerbien @jaydubs @icecubesapp I shy away from making definitive statements since β€œbest” is all subjective … what works for you might not work for me πŸ™‚ Personally, I find #Tusker the best app for *me* since it has lots of subtle features which speak of care by the developer β€” that they use the app themselves and developed the app primarily for themselves.

The only thing I miss from #IceCubesApp that #Tusker doesn’t have is post editing but it’s easy enough to add. I’ve just not bothered to do so yet since I don’t edit stuff that much.

@jaydubs Ah, thank you 😊 Then they must have been added recently because I don't see them in my version of the code, which is about a week old. So at least I wasn't maligning them πŸ˜›

@jaydubs Yeah, they are pretty prolific with the code changes πŸ™‚ I believe there are a lot of people helping out on that project. They do keep adding stuff fast. Which is one reason that I went with that repo for what I wanted β€” the fact that they add new features without me having to do the work πŸ˜›
