Embed Notice

Can we talk about how stupid it is that I have to put little "🧵" icons in my threads to let people know they're threads? When I haven't people have complained – because collectively the way Mastodon apps represent threads is so inadequate, users viewing a boosted toot can't immediately tell from the indications provided by the app that something is a thread.

But apparently nobody goes "it's too hard to tell when a toot is boosted into my stream that it's part of a larger thread, so maybe the UI should indicate that more prominently". No, it's just up to the user to manually add some sort of character that the app should be displaying instead.
