If you're using Mastodon on a computer, there's an optional "advanced" mode available on your server's website.

By default Mastodon uses a simple single column, but advanced mode is a Tweetdeck-style multicolumn interface that lets you add as many columns as you want. This includes special pinned hashtag feeds where you can combine, require or exclude particular tags within a single feed.

To find out how to activate and use advanced mode, click here:

@feditips on some instances it seems to be the default.

@feditips I discovered it within my first 10 minutes in mastodon and it made my day. I've been using tweetdeck for years and having the same UI format already built in definitely helped me keep using it

@feditips Love it, but really needs to have sound alerts turned off as a default.

@feditips I remember when Mastodon actually looked like this by default a few years ago. Fortunately, it was changed to the default single column.

@feditips totally loving the multi-column look. May result in purchase of a wider #monitor Have a 24'" diag. Its not enough. Want more pixels!

@feditips it can look like that on an iPad too. It can be quite handy.

@feditips I use the multi column layout showing Hone and Federated views plus 2 pinned hashtag columns. Far more efficient for me. To refresh any view I just tap on the column heading.

@feditips What I've noticed about the 4-panel advanced mode is, the rightmost (in my setup) panel where I #Explore Posts and News never updates its contents. The Home panel updates whenever I hit `Home`, but this does not happen in the `Explore` panel.
