@SarahEncrypted thanks. I'll give that a shot.
@SarahEncrypted I'm now testing how things work in Tusky. So far, it seems to do a better job with swipe typing and with the double-space period. Thanks for the tip. I'll give this one a shot for a few days.

If you're on android, tusky (free) works better. Fedilab ($) is best as you can follow hashtags, create bookmarks, mute words, etc. If using fedilab - join the beta as it kills the refresh bug.
The default Mastodon app is pretty bad
