#Mastodon web app usability issue: A server is both a web app and hosts posts.
Main issue: If a post links to a post on another server, clicking on the link leaves the web app. Two measures can help:
• The upcoming feature “quote posts” will ensure that you stay in the web app if you click on the quoted post.
• Maybe: Keep web app & post pages separate (with the latter being mostly static). That would make it more obvious to users that the two are different.
