Advanced Web Interface (AWI) aka it's like TweetDeck
Visit Settings
> Preferences
> Appearance
and enable Advanced Web Interface
for a multi-column layout which may remind you of TweetDeck.
When you enable the Advanced Web Interface, you have the opportunity to 'pin' multiple columns to the web interface. Below the image shows Notifications, Home and Local Timeline columns have been pinned.
The fifth column shown is the Getting Started Column. This right-most column adjusts depending on the users selection.
The Compose column (to the left) has an icon menu at the top. The icons represent Getting Started, Home, Local Timeline, Federated Timeline, Preferences and Logout.
Selecting the icon will open that column. Select the columns configuration Icon to see the options. The Notification Column has a fairly extensive matrix allowing you to tailor your experience. The others look similar to the 'vanilla' experience, only with the addition of a regex filter… neat .
Compose Column
On the left hand side is the Compose column, where you can write toots and search for users and hashtags. This column is topped by some icons that change the fifth column:
Getting Started
Getting started
changes the far right column to show useful links. Selecting any of the Navigation icons will switch the view accordingly.
Here you can access settings and view your lists. It also provides easy access to your DM's and Bookmarks. An interesting feature is Explore.
This link subdivides the fifth column into popular Posts
, Hashtags
, News
and For you
.
There is also the Misc
menu that shows further notable content such as Keyboard Shortcuts
, Muted
and Blocked
users, Pinned
and Favourite
posts.
At the bottom of getting started, you can see find important instance links such as About
, the Profile Directory
and trending hashtags.
