Personally I'd rather keep the semaphore recommendation, or even go back to recommending pinafore (also unmaintained). The fact it's not actively being developed doesn't make it any less good in it's current form, imo, and if the site goes down at some point we can host an instance of it ourselves somewhere so people can still use it. Issues with some other clients are:
If those issues are resolved I think we could probably switch recommendations to another client, but for now I (personally) think it's fine to just make the user aware of other clients by saying "hey try one of these other mastodon clients (link to masto website), they might work", which is what we already do.
Hello! This didnt' feel like a bug or feature request specifically so, used the custom dooblydoo. Feel free to tell me which form to use if there's a better one for this!
I'd like to propose the recommendation of different web frontend(s) for users to use with gotosocial instances, as the current recommendation, semaphore, is no longer being developed, and considered by the dev to be "lights on", with the git repo being set to read-only
If wanting to keep it pivoted to a pinafore based fork, the enafore fork looks to be under active development still, which appears to be being developed with a focus on compatibility with non-vanilla masto-compatible server backends, which may be useful given that gotosoc fits that category.
I've personally been loving the phanpy frontend paired to my personal instance, and their docs include a list of alternative web frontends for consideration!
