Once you have the web version displayed, notice that there are two display formats: SImplified & Advanced.
Simplified: Twitter-like, no "columns", just the main "firehose" feed, or an option for some other display types (my friends, notifications, etc), similar to the app.
Advanced: Tweetdeck style, allows you to pin all kinds of columns across a customizable display.
New ppl usually find Simplified easier to start, but Advanced has more options.
@FernLovebond Hell, to be honest, I don’t know if I’m using the app or the browser, but I get columns - Notifications, My Friends, and Firehose. That’s enough for me at present. Thanks for your help!

Ah, if you're seeing columns, you are using a browser. The app doesn't have them.
Since the pinning issue was what started all this off, I'll attach a little pic about it, but the help files are the best resource for all your questions: https://help.counter.social
Cheers! 🍻
@FernLovebond Thanks, Fern! But I have the app on my iPad, so everything seems to be working.
Glad to hear it, and if it works for you, then by all means keep it up. If you want to try a more advanced form of CoSo which allows you to make and pin custom lists or search terms, you could try Advanced mode on a browser, but that's your call.
One thing to consider: an app is more software you don't really need: a browser offers you more flexibility in terms of how you use the site, but can be just as simple, if you prefer it that way.
It's your thing, do whatchoo wanna do 🙂

Chris is right, but I'm surprised nobody told you to check out the help files: https://help.counter.social
On an iPad, the app may not work, but a narrow enough view will revert to the app display anyway, which is very simple,
To see columns, you will have to use a browser and make sure the display is over ~625px wide (ish), so the size of your browser window matters, as may landscape vs portrait orientation of the device itself.
