Federated Timeline is static and notifies of New posts at the top. Giving you a chance to actually READ these, not an insanely scrolling marquee of new posts.

I have enabled a "Reduce UI animations" choice in Settings, which might have helped. But this alone is a HUGE improvement compared to the mastodon default web viewer.

Colour Choices PLENTY...

There's even an "Ignore all these Content Warnings" timewasters button.

Wellness Settings, yes please!

@Full_marx might like these!

Snapshot already with my preferred Mastodon Dark colours applied. This client is quite nice.

OMG, it scrolls up and down the feed amazingly FAST.

Why? Check the features. Speed might be worth trying?

Testing out Pinafore Web client for fediverse...

Check it out at https://pinafore.social/ - just log in with your instance name, and it will request authorization for it, and go to work. Quick.

@freemo And another post from the Home feed (via web browser) also updated instantly as expected. Must be a problem on my side, tons of tabs open.

Sorry to bother you.

"Bolivia: Commentary on the Coup Underway"

@freemo Just to make me look bad, now it updated instantly right after I posted. Could it depend where in the site (Home, Local, Notifications) I am at?

This one was posted right from the Local feed side post box.

@freemo Boss, the Local feed seems to be behind the Home one quite a bit - not refreshing as it should be.

Last post in Local as I type is 49 min old; I personally have made other replies and new posts, which show immediately on Home as expected. Just FYI...

Snapshot included. Time ~21:11 UTC

Thanks for the great service.

Doggies will be doggies...

Did you miss seeing the passage of Mercury over the face of the Sun earlier this week?

Beautiful images from the Solar observatories like the screenshot below.

An example of a working, lively instance with Pleroma running. Showing their Local feed.

Finished reading the page and it's excellent.

The author defines well what a Local timeline is, what the Federated timeline is as well.

And he explains the differences between Pleroma and Mastodon as server software alternatives:

"## How is it different from Mastodon?

If you are currently using Mastodon, you are probably interested in the differences between Mastodon and Pleroma. Here are some of the big ones.

## Lower system requirements.

Pleroma can run well on a Raspberry Pi or a $2.50 Vultr instance. This makes it affordable to host for single user instances. You can still run a hundred users or so on instances this small, though, so it also works well for bigger instances.

## Less moving parts.

Pleroma is built on a lot less technology than Mastodon. To run a Mastodon instance, you need Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, Sidekiq, NodeJS and - if you want search - ElasticSearch. For Pleroma, you only need Elixir and PostgreSQL, while still getting all the features. This simplifies installation and makes maintenance somewhat easier."

Found another nice page for reference. You might be able to get some explanations for the general operation of the network and instances, etc.

"In my last few posts I talked a bit about Pleroma. Since then, we had a lot of questions about what Pleroma is, how it is different from GNU Social and Mastodon, why you should use it and so on. This post will be an introduction to Pleroma, so read on if you are interested.

What is Pleroma?

Pleroma is a microblogging server software that can federate (= exchange messages with) other servers that support the same federation standards (OStatus and ActivityPub). What that means is that you can host a server for yourself or your friends and stay in control of your online identity, but still exchange messages with people on larger servers. Pleroma will federate with all servers that implement either OStatus or ActivityPub, like GNU Social, Friendica, Hubzilla and Mastodon."

Not for sale in North America, but very popular in Europe, Brazil, China, India and other markets.

High quality, well built, decent price and great support.
