@mike nice work, exciting stuff! Looking forward to taking this for a run!

@Mike McCue What are the chances that the ActivityPub side will get full (or any) support for Pleroma and its forks, Misskey and its forks, Friendica and other things that use the Mastodon client API?
Or even server applications that can speak ActivityPub, but that don't have the Mastodon client API implemented?
I sincerely hope that Surf isn't built against only Mastodon so hard that it's impossible to add more than just incidental and unsupported compatibility with anything that isn't Mastodon.

@jupiter_rowland Our goal is to seamlessly support any ActivityPub feed. For example Pixelfed and Friendica work great and Lemmy is pretty good too. We’ll gradually work through the variations and collaborate with folks to get thins working as seamlessly as possible.

@mike My only question is will it remember where I am in the timeline or will it always infuriatingly scroll to the top? All the apps I’ve seen so far (except Ivory) do this and it’s maddening!

@selgart The beta currently does not do this but it is definitely in the plan. Do you like the Ivory handles this? What’s your ideal approach?
-
@mike Is this strictly for phones, or does it work on computers as well? Does it have accessibility features for screen reader users? It sounds very exciting!

@mike Lots of good tidings regarding fediverse projects lately.
Congratulations and look forward to checking it out!

@mike Ivory’s method is ideal. Open the app, you’re still at the same post you saw the last time. If you happen to want to go to the top it’s only one tap at the top of the screen to get there. But even better, if going to the top was an accidental touch you can just tap the top again and it takes you back to where you were. It’s totally on the side of the user. Bluesky’s behavior, not to pick on them in particular as almost all apps do this to be fair, always taking you to “now” is really pretty user-hostile in an otherwise pretty good app.

@selgart thanks for sharing this. I like this approach and will make sure we factor in.

@dandylover1 tablet and desktop support will be coming. Most importantly we'll have specialized layouts for larger screens. The photos and videos will look amazing.
