Few quick Mastodon tweaks I like:

* Settings > "Enable advanced web interface" is Tweetdeck and works really well.

* In your notification column, turn off all the "Play sound" toggles and turn on the "show filter bar" to be able to see favorites, follows, etc. by type.

* The web app is good! The official mobile app's not bad, either. But there are a lot of app options with different flavors worth trying out. Toot is popular on iOS. On Android, I use Yuito: https://bit.ly/3jjtzif

1. Eventually, I expect to see something like @[e-mail]

It may take some time for the big guns to figure out that they can run their own.

2. Yes, I think news / media organizations will set up servers

And there already are instances that cater to journalists. I expect lots of new developments.

3. I see quite a few on newsie.social. Of course, they are even more scattered on the fediverse.

4. I'm guessing these apps discussed in that thread have advantages over a browser?

5. Browser + Enable advanced web interface

is what he prefers on a computer, me too. The apps are best for phones. You know I made a video showing the browser use, let me know if you want a link.
