   So many people on this app get very hostile to any potentially useful feature request. Please understand that we all use platforms differently! A great social platform serves a wide variety of needs.

     @taylorlorenz I don't get this. Mastodon already has threads.

     @Gargron @taylorlorenz For many people the absence of typing Mastodon-threads in the web interface is identical to threads not being possible.

     You have to manually reply to a previous post, you can't prepare a thread in the online interface.

     @Gargron @taylorlorenz Thread in Mastodon are not obvious. What people want is to post pictures of their dog and ask for others' pictures of their dogs and then see that these replies exist in one glance.

     @Gargron @taylorlorenz how do threads work? How do specify “this is a thread“ or “this is post one of eight“? I've seen people make it up, but nothing that looked like it was natively part of Mastodon.

     @verbeeld @Gargron @taylorlorenz This would be much easier to do if after publishing a post there was some way of seeing it easily, instead of having to go to your profile and scroll down, and maybe even click on the "Posts and replies" tab. The birdsite does this with a snackbar on posting, which is nice, IMO.

     @ianchanning @taylorlorenz Reply to your own post to chain your posts together. Your self-replies will appear higher than other people's replies when viewing a thread.

     @Gargron @taylorlorenz it's not very obvious that threads exist / how people should make threads (people often reply multiple times to the first tweet instead of replying to each previous tweet). This issue has a suggestion for making that better: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/22884

     @Gargron The original poster was looking for a way / client to post a thread all at once, to avoid pauses and gaps between the related posts. (And contrary to what some have assumed, the OP did not want longer posts for this — they wanted the separation the individual posts yield, but that they were part of an overall whole. This was for their stories of library drop-in days; threads that I enjoyed reading elsewhere.)

     @Gargron @ianchanning @taylorlorenz But you still have to remember to make each self-reply unlisted

     @Gargron @ianchanning @taylorlorenz From a reader’s perspective, this is identical. What’s being requested is a separate compose mode where you can compose the whole thread before posting any of it. Some of the apps offer this.

     I have that working for twitter now and could easily adapt it for mastodon if you would help promote.
