much as twitter was crafted in such a way as to invite low-effort shitposts, everything about cohost seems to invite effortposting- the comparative lack of low-effort engagement feedback, the large post size limit, the tag system, etc


but I still like seeing shitposts and shitposting is the only kind of posting I can do so shitchosts ahoy

I only get a login prompt about once a day and when I change devices, I haven't found it burdensome :shrug:

almost all of the longform text chosts in my feed use the --- read more thing and it would be very annoying if they didn't

yeah the combination of x posts per page + every person you follow who rechosts something causing the whole thing to be duplicated = any time a chost gets popular in your social circle it takes up entire pages of your timeline is not great and I'm glad it's something they're working on

a good chost that made my brain hurt a little bit

yeah timeline deduplication would be really nice because currently when all your friends on cohost really like a post it just becomes your whole timeline until it exits your social circle

yeah deduplication is the next major user experience improvement I really hope cohost makes because right now when a chost goes 'viral' into your friendgroup it's literally all you see, which is kind of funny the first time and just obnoxious after that.

though now there's bookmarked tags so you can always bookmark a few tags (like the 'global feed' ones) and click there to hopefully see some other chosts beyond The One Popular Chost Today
