I hope this situation improves once we finish hiring a product designer. Personally I don't think the web client is as bad as some people make it sound, but I know it can be improved. In the interim you can try the 3rd party web client Elk [1], some people seem to really like it.

> I applied for mastodon
which server?
there are multiple server-side platforms too, incl. some forks, so if mastodon.social is not for you – look around for better lighter alternatives (as well for self-hosting)
start around here: https://github.com/emilebosch/awesome-fediverse#applications
It's possible if users host their own Mastodon instance, which for the vast majority of users is way too much of a hassle to do.
This is one of the reasons I think the nostr protocol is a better way of building a decentralized + censorship resistant social network.
