I have a theory that the reason TV comedies without a laughter track tend to be less funny is the decision to omit the laughter track.
There tends to be a different reveal moment in more modern style comedies. There tends to be a more subtle reveal, and dialogue less snappy. Jokes are sluggish and they creep up on the viewer, giving at best an "Aheh" moment.
Comedies with the laughter track tend to have more of a 'punchline' feel about them, where reveal cuts and delivery are faster.
It's that kind of quick-quip, punchline-and-laugh nature of the laughter-track comedy that *can* make them funnier and more enjoyable.
It's just a theory I have.

I just read through https://learntla.com (all of Core and some of the Topics) in two days and...
It was quite enjoyable.
It's been a long time since I've read a tutorial or a manual start-to-finish and I forgot how much nicer it is, compared to learning only the pieces you immediately need, and never knowing what else is possible.
You should try that too.
I've been using Saturn for iOS for a bit now and ever since the most recent updates, it seems very enjoyable.
It has most of the same features as other third party Mastodon apps, but with its own look and feel.
I think the only thing that could make it better for me, would be if it had a "Hashtag Drawer" type feature for the composer so that I could save individual hashtags with CamelCase for re-use.
It's something I've been wanting in a Fediverse app for SO long.
But if you want a new app to mess around with, Saturn is very good from what I've seen with it.👍
