l freaking love that this thing exists, the summary feature is some next level genius

OK. There’s absolutely no information about it?

E: This is the proper way to share something like this

If you have Mastodon you can just try it?

It's a Mastodon client. It has many neat features. I like it on desktop because it's easy to navigate with my keyboard. It's also great on phone. Overall pleasant, Mastodon users should try it out. But I feel like describing it at length is not really productive - it's a user interface.

I’m not giving access to my Mastodon account to some random service I’ve never heard of for no reason.

But I feel like describing it at length

I don’t need length. Any sort of description at all would be helpful.

If it makes you feel better, it’s all client-side: there’s nothing executing on the server (I’m running a copy of it on a server that just… can’t execute anything) so it’s not doing any data stealing.

Buuut, since it’s trivial to host, you could grab a copy of the code and host it yourself as well.

LOL people around here truly do be delusional.

It’s fairly literally just a download-and-run kind of deal it seems. Does seem pretty trivial.

This person couldn’t be bothered to search “Phanpy Mastodon” to learn more, literally everything is non-trivial to them. They probably have to remember to breathe.

helenslunch@feddit.nl on 28 Sep 2024 02:19 collapse

I can absolutely Google. But I choose not to. Because fuck Google.

When I did a web search it just directed me back to this same page.

cabbage@piefed.social on 27 Sep 2024 22:27 collapse

It's a nice user interface, made by @cheeaun@mastodon.social, and loved by a lot of people.

If you don't want to trust people with your account details that's fine - then using a third party app is probably not for you, unless you're willing to either trust people or dig into the source code.

helenslunch@feddit.nl on 27 Sep 2024 22:29 collapse

Ive tried many different third-party apps. Because they give me a reason to.

cabbage@piefed.social on 27 Sep 2024 22:35 collapse

That's great!

dameoutlaw@lemmy.ml on 28 Sep 2024 12:59 collapse

It’s not just for mastodon users, that’s selling it short

Let me Google that for you.

Google away, my guy 🤷

Always liked Phanpy

Easily the best client

They'd get busy: The creator of Phanphy also maintains a list of github repos named after Pokemon.

Repokémon is an amazing name.

@mesamunefire lovely to see @phanpy get a new round of excitement, its really one of the best interfaces to "social media" on that I have ever used...

Emerald_nova@mastodon.social on 28 Sep 2024 13:22 collapse

@liaizon @mesamunefire @phanpy it really is. I love the catch up feature too for times where I feel behind on everything in my feed. I usually start the morning with catch up from the past few hours and it's really helpful. I've also tried probably every Mastodon app and after each time I always come back to Phanpy. It's too good. I do wish there was a setting to display likes and repost counts below posts in the feed however. Would make it even better.
