Donphan is legit, too.

@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...

@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.

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.

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

It's a nice user interface, made by @[email protected], 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

That's great!

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

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.

https://github.com/cheeaun/phanpy?tab=readme-ov-file#easy-way

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

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

Google away, my guy 🤷

inb4 nintendo sends cease and desist

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Repokémon is an amazing name.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

lol

inb4 nintendo takes legal action

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago
