It looks like the official Mastodon app has been updated to use the terminology of the experimental web interface.
⭐️ Favourites are now called ❤️ Likes.
Trending is now called Explore (which is what it was called originally 😄 ).
This hasn't been rolled out to the release version of the web interface yet, so you probably won't see these changes on your server's website yet.
@FediTips I wonder what was wrong with favorites and the star
@FediTips
But they didn't give back the push notifications.
@FediTips I feel somewhat sorry for the devs of @Tusky . Their bare-bones, bloat-free app for the fedi is so elegantly designed: no frills, bells or whistles, but people love it for its simplicity and reliability.
Yet they still have to keep changing shit to keep up with the Mastodon team's shifting vision. 😆
Honestly, if I had the money I would donate some to them because software done the old-fashioned way is 👉🏼what people want👈🏼. 🤷🏻♂️
@FediTips I'm seeing it on my web interface now...
Yup, the server mastodon.social is using the experimental version, but most people are on other servers 🙂
@FediTips @lowwhistler still called favourites on the official mobile app for me? (Have the german lenaguge version though)
@FediTips
Seems fine (prefer a star for 'like' tho 🤷♀️ ).
It's good compared to some of the web interface layout updates, which have diminished visual breaks between elements, making the updated UX slower and harder to navigate, ime. It looks a bit chaotic.
