10/11/22: My first Fediverse adventure [a Mastodon Instance].

20/5/24: Created this new instance account [loma.ml] today, to evaluate its potential viability over my current Friendica instance [libranet.de] for my daily fediversing.

22/5/24: This instance is very promising, but atm i've gone with my other new candidate, [email protected], primarily coz its software is slightly newer versions.

23/5/24: Well damnit, for much of yesterday & night, anonsys.net has suffered multiple episodes of painfully slow federating after i try to send posts i've made [+ several bouts of complete server inaccessibility], whereas loma.ml has been much snappier. I've now reversed my decision & made loma.ml my new daily Fedi.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. View on remote instance

@Perhyte @cloudless Agree, but fwiw, IMO, is even more powerful & flexible than AO. After being spoiled by both these for years, has heaps of catching up to do before the native solution will become my choice... but i emphatically DO want sophisticated to be native, so hope the Devs learn from & adopt from these two AOs.

@taanegl @cloudless Yes...

or even Floorp - though that would be like going ESR.

...but in July, the Dev is jumping from to FF-Release version. Really looking fwd to it. Already Floorp + is wonderful, so soon will be even better.

@waldyrious @Perhyte @cloudless I was a user for many years, before discovering , so i do know how excellent TST is. IMO though, TST lost its way once the Dev chose to remove much core functionality from it, devolving it all instead to myriad companion AOs the user then also must install. As well, various functions some users wanted were explicitly ruled out by the Dev.

Otoh the Sidebery Dev has been immensely receptive to new ideas, as well as feedback for improving existing features, + ALL the functionality of TST exists within Sidebery's Settings without needing to have any companion AOs. There's so much i like about Sidebery, but just to mention a mere handful of benefits over TST:

  • tab hover preview thumbnails
  • infinite separate Workspaces [called Tab Panels in Sidebery]
  • optional integration in the Sidebery Panel of Closed Tabs, Bookmarks, History [done better than in TST]
  • infinite Session backups & restores
  • really clever context menu options such that many commonplace tab operations can be done "one handed"... you really need to play with this to understand

My reply is inadequate. Much better would be to install the AO, explore its rich Settings, & play with it all.

@taanegl Cool. Interested to hear later what you think of it.
