I've been wanting to check out Mastodon and a good app helps me be more engaged. My issue is that there are lots of interesting apps so I don't which one to pick! Which one do you like and why?
Android is preferred, but feel free to suggest iOS apps for others to use. Websites are also fine, but I'd like to install it as a PWA if possible.
Megalodon! It's an open source fork of the official Mastodon app, but with extra features. The latest update even has threaded replies. Get it on F-droid or the store.
I’ve been an Ivory Stan for a while, lol. But ngl, I’m starting to get itchy since updates have slowed significantly. Other apps have gotten lots of other QOL features, or he’ll even some basic features, in a much quicker time. But I’ve paid for Ivory already, and don’t really want to pay for another.
My options are more limited too cuz it’s a requirement for there to be some sync to a desktop app. Not too many others that do that (Mona is the first that comes to mind that is in “second” place for me).
Ich nutze Megalodon, ein fork der Offiziellen App, der noch etwas besser ist. Funktioniert sehr gut, wird aktiv entwickelt und war als ich vor einem halben Jahr alle Apps nebeneinander genutzt habe für mich die absolut beste Wahl, habe das aber nicht weiterverfolgt Der größte Vorteil von Megalodon ist/ war, dass man direkt auf den Lokalen feat zugreifen kann. Bei der Offiziellen App miss man dafür auf Suchen gehen, und dann 4 Mal nach links wischen
Tusky is my current preference, but have tried Megalodon, Mastodon and Fedilab. I couldn't get with Fedilab, the font sizes in particular were never right.
When I was on Android I could never find one I really loved. Trunks came the closest. On iOS Ivory and Mona are both amazing. Mona has a one time purchase so if you’re allergic to subscriptions that’s the way to go.
On my Android 'phone I just use the official app from the Play Store, it fulfills my needs. There are no ads, which was the reason I wouldn't use the official app for Twitter.
I like Fedilab. It's open source and supports other accounts like Pixelfed, Peertube, Friendica, and is planning to add Calckey. I also like how it has colored lines to show deeper threads.
I've also tried out Tusky and a couple of forks of the offical app like Moshidon and Megalodon and they all seem pretty good.
I use subway tooter. It is feature-packed and have strong tool to crossposting across different accounts. But its interface is not that pretty and confusing for first timer. Not recomended for casual users. But if you run several mastodon account at once, it has great tools to make your life easier.
