I'm looking for a mastodon client (Linux or web) that lets me follow a discussion.
In the standard web client, when there are new replies, there's a button I can click to load them. But where are they? The web client is threaded, and new comments end up mixed up somewhere way back in the thread with no way to find/ID them.
Ideally, a client would highlight new unseen replies, maybe in bold or a different color. Or (less good but livable) show tweets chronologically instead of threaded.
