Just got accepted into the #Loops beta (https://loops.video)... Playing around with it and digging it so far!

One question tho, since I never jumped on the #TikTok train... What's the best way to edit videos for these short video platforms? Any app recommendations? (Android/Linux/Web preferred)

Playing around with @Tuba, a native Linux client for #Mastodon, and despite a few rough edges I'm liking it a lot so far. They need to add custom emojii to the emojii picker, allow GIFs to animate in PFPs, and allow additions to the spell checker dictionary... but otherwise it's quite cromulent!

I keep bouncing back and forth between #Tusky and #Fedilab on Android because they're both *excellent* third-party apps for Mastodon... But I find each leaves me wanting. Fedilab clearly has a superior engine behind it - it streams new toots automatically (no "Show More" button every so many toots), supports multiple accounts in a seamless way (particularly love being able to long press on an interaction button and be given the choice of which account to perform the action from), but the actual timeline display is... Less than great. So much wasted space and thumbnail pictures are displayed weirdly (though it does fetch media much more reliably). On the other hand, Tusky's timeline feels much more polished, visually appealing, and compact... But the cross-account interaction leaves a lot to be desired (i.e. if I am viewing a toot from my main account but want to favorite it from my AD account, I have to tap the toot to open threaded view, tap the menu button, select "Open as <other account>", interact with the post, then switch back to viewing from my main account) and then it won't even remember where in my timeline I was reading from, sending me back to the top of my feed instead. And I've come to hate that "Show More" button too since it relies on a "reading direction" setting in preferences to know which way to expand new toots instead of inferring it automatically from scrolling direction.

I wish I could have the best of both worlds here!

@Tusky I love that Tusky offers multiple account functionality, but I'd love to see some improvements to how it works. Could you please consider adding the ability to select which account you'd like to use when interacting with a profile or post? Like, tapping the favorite or boost button on a toot or a follow button on an account performs that action for the current account - but long-pressing those would let you select which account to use to perform that action instead.
