Mastodon web interface. (-) 

Step 1: Read timeline via phone client.

Step 2: find toot I want to offer a detailed response to (as in, more than I want to try to type with a crappy virtual keyboard).

Step 3: "Share" URL for toot with myself ("Saved Messages") on Telegram to catch up on from my laptop.

Step 4: Open Telegram on laptop, check messages, click link.

Step 5: Get toot and conversation thread, but desperately search every clickable object on the page, wondering how to actually reply.

Step 6: . . . still wondering.

Any ideas? (About Masto interface stuff, not my choice of phone client or Telegram.)

@ElectricKeet slightly brute-force solution:

put "?type=reply" at the end of the url of the post you want to reply to, minus the quotes. that should give you a reply text box.

@ElectricKeet this might need revision. the full URL changes depending on what you're trying to do. apologies!

@kelseyhusky Is okay! I have a working solution now (use the search bar in the Masto web interface) but it's a dreadfully non-obvious one.
