I see you operate that mastodon, do you have control over the UI or is it all from upstream? Horizontal scrolling being (unintentionally?) enabled coupled with a 'position: fixed' sidebar feels very odd on mobile.

What horizontal scrolling?
- jakear 4y ago
  Trying to drag the content horizontally causes it to attempt to scroll then immediately rebound. On its own this is a strange stylistic decision, but coupled with the sidebar position being fixed it just looks sloppy. This isn't mobile only, on desktop the center content can be scrolled horizontally and it overlaps very oddly with the side content there too. All in all it feels like a rushed job.

    Maybe this is an iOS thing because of it's "rubber band" scrolling. In any case this is just Mastodon's standard UI, so maybe you could open a bug over there?

I don't actually use the web interface there at all myself - I use https://elk.zone/ https://elk.zone/ on my laptop and Ivory on my iPhone.

    Yeah, although a fair bit better than the default. I’m using Wooly on my iPhone, but might give ivory a shot now that it’s launched.

        You don't hold a copyright on just a name. Trademarks are for that but have to be applied for.

        Trademarks don’t need to be applied for - a “common law trademark” is established through use. Much harder to protect than a “registered trademark” though, as you need to actively defend, rather than the mark simply being present in a registry.
