The new single-column layout reduces visual clutter and lets you focus on the specific part of Mastodon you want to engage in.

The new single column view is great, especially paired with the new light theme.

Was the number one thing new folks that hadn't already used something like tweetdeck were confused by. I am glad this is the new default.

I've been enjoying Mastodon recently, it has a much more authentic vibe compared to the mass self-promotion on Twitter and other social platforms. Excited to try the new layout, my instance hasn't upgraded just yet.

What I have wanted from Mastodon since the day I joined
Report
the layout now make mastodon more familiar social, closer to mainstream social like instagram, twitter, Facebook
Pros:
good for newbies or for those wanting a simple user experience with bigger images on timeline
Cons:
missing trending hashtags like on twitter

Been watching it since 2017 and has come a long way.
Pros:
No Nazis!!!! feels like Twitter 07-10
Cons:
Open Source, small dev team, insular communities, hard to find friends, hard to convince friends to move/maintain new platforms.
