Thanks! That works, albeit by showing you a place in the timeline. I also realized after I posted that I can go to the "Public timeline" tab on the left to see all of my interactions.

From a UX POV, neither really isolates the thread a post exists in, so I imagine it won't work very well for people with lots of interactions. I can't imagine, for example, it would let an admin or "celebrity" of a reasonably busy community quickly navigate.

I think this is a hangover/legacy "feature" from the Mastodon community's residence to threads and quote posts/replies.

I think I see what you mean. All the masto UIs I've used really suck at threading (if they can at all). The Elk UI doesn't do a bad job of it.

I've just started learning ActivityPub and have been experimenting with writing bots and a new federated service, and am just starting to get an understanding of how messages get delivered to endpoints, etc.

I imagine with masto's incipient popularity we'll see more front-ends and other options. Pretty exciting. :)

@wrathchild @jerry @ssb Yes to Elk, although I haven't setup this instance there yet because, well, variety.

Correction, Elk will not authenticate https://infosec.place/

@jonahstein @jerry @ssb I hadn't tried Elk on this instance since it was akkama and i really dig this UI.
