Native Windows client
For Windows, Whalebird is your go-to since it's in the MS Store. Most of the stuff I've found online as suggestions for Windows are web apps like https://pinafore.social/ or https://elk.zone. Personally, I just use the advanced web view. I need the columns.

Ask HN: Examples of Great PWAs
https://pinafore.social/
Resilient Web Design, a PWA book by Jeremy Keith:
-
Didn't get the email, now I'm stuck here
Pinafore - Alternative web client for Mastodon, focused on speed and simplicity.

Paul Graham is leaving Twitter
Which instance are you on? Mastodon is decentralized, there may be servers that are overloaded whereas other are fast. Like email.
I haven't noticed any big differences in speed, i use both Mastodon for iOS and Pinafore (https://pinafore.social/ ), a PWA. Just add it to your homescreen and it will behave like a native app (and sometime in 2023 Apple has said they will add push notifications to PWAs).

Fosstodon Hub – More Upgrades
I continue to see people stumble at mastodon resource requirements when setting up their instance, but I fail to understand why everyone is going for a mastodon instance for their personal use.
I am running https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial on a micro instance, probably using 100M ram, with a 30M sqlite database.
True, I don't have all features. It is pure backend, but I can use https://pinafore.social/ as web client and https://f-droid.org/en/packages/su.xash.husky/ as Android app. It implements a good chunk of the Mastodon API. I also use it from Emacs with mastodon.el.
Took me 35 minutes to setup. It runs as a single binary from systemd. Most of the jail features enabled. Not even a system user (DynamicUser).
Mastodon != Fediverse.

Phanpy: A minimalistic opinionated Mastodon web client
This has lead to a delightful variety of custom clients like https://phanpy.social/ - https://elk.zone/ is another example that I really like.
It's the complete opposite of the Twitter API situation, where they locked their API down and killed the entire ecosystem of third-party clients.
- Elk client for Mastodon is in Preview mode
- Mozilla.social is live and open to registration
-
Do we think about vector dbs wrong?
And there are tons of third party clients. I think Tusky is the best one I’ve seen for Android, and there’s an interesting web-based one called Elk that’s very nice. You load up https://elk.zone and then use it as a front-end to sign in to your server.

BBC on Mastodon: experimenting with distributed and decentralised social media
The answer to that is https://elk.zone atm, a fun and chef's kiss interface (built with nuxt). You can insert elk.zone/ before any Mastodon url. https://phanpy.social is also great, with multi columns even for lists.
A browser plugin (like "Mastodon – Simplified Federation") to follow, favorite, etc. directly on any server has also improved my experience a lot.

Ask HN: What will it take to get more people using Mastodon more?
Quick! Tell Obama and Taylor Swift about https://elk.zone! They're going to be so excited!

Also try logging in through https://elk.zone/ if you want to stick with the familiar twitter interface
-
Why are reblog/favourite numbers different between platforms?
For me, the boost/reply-numbers using https://elk.zone have been much more reliable than the original app. (It's also the (web)app that convinced me. Mastodon is the real deal.)

New Mastodon for Android release coming next week [...] new profiles, new settings, new search, and more
Try elk.zone. You can log into the UI with an account from any instance. I use it as my main UI and it looks pretty close to twitter, at least close enough for me.
