Mementomori.social is not your yet another instance with defaults. It is packed with small, but groundbreaking modifications. This page lists all of them.
On top of the regular Mastodon features like per-post visibility, content warnings and real time feed, Mementomori.social has the following features.
Mastodon Bird UI is something I've been designing since March, 2023. It's a new kind of modern Mastodon UI, inspired by Twitter UI in its good era. Yes, I know, the word bird and Twitter may be a turn-off for some, but I actually like what Twitter made to its UI in 2021 . The changes after that are not that good, so I took the UI in 2021 as an inspiration and created this:
The UI can be found on GitHub and its updates can be followed under hashtags #BirdUI and #MastodonBirdUI on Mastodon.

Algorithmic home feed as an opt-in experiment. Same idea as Twitter's open sourced ranking pipeline (candidates, score, mix) but stripped to what a single instance actually needs. Chronological stays the default, nothing changes if you do not turn this on.
mementomori-social/mastodon #4 Pull request on GitHub
On Mementomori.social you get to choose from two major themes with variations:
Original Mastodon UI (Dark, Light and High contrast versions)
Mastodon Bird UI (Dark, Light, High contrast, Ultra accessible versions)
On our instance we have focused to accessibility with a special touch towards users with acromatopsia, vision impairment or age vision. Mastodon Bird UI (Ultra accessible) theme consists of features such as
Hashtags, links and mentions are in different colors
Contrast is even starker than in default High contrast themes, black background with white text
Font sizes are much larger throughout the site
The font size is even larger on mobile
All input boxes and modals have color to distinguish them from the background
All colors are tested with a contrast checker and with a real person so that they have sufficient contrast ratios
Default Mastodon has small link previews for URLs. I wanted to make them big and was inspired by this ongoing feature request

Mementomori.social has a lot of custom emojis. You can also request your own by sending a post to @rolle . Good emoji source: Slackmojis .
Default Mastodon allows max. 4 options and 50 character limit per option. I have increased them so that posting polls is not too strict.

The Vanilla Mastodon doesn't show these amounts and will likely never show them natively as per this comment . However as an OCD person the metrics matter so on Mementomori.social you'll see full amount of comments. (Related issue on Mastodon )
Metrics show up on Explore, Bookmarks and Favourites from 31st of July, 2023 . Comment count is accurate everywhere.
Please note, currently this is reversed to default due to unreliable method.

By default Mastodon searches only for your own posts and the ones you have answered to, if that. Search provided by Elasticsearch. On Mementomori.social you can search all posts the Mastodon instance is aware of, from the users who want to be found ("Include public posts in search results" enabled on settings). This is actually now in the Mastodon core, so our instance just follows the core feature.

For posts other than your language (set in profile) a "Translate" link is shown, by pressing it you can see accurate translation provided by DeepL .
By default Mastodon shows 100 posts on the Explore tab. We show 500.
