Mastodon peeps using Android devices - I have tried to quote post on 4 different apps. So far it only works on the official Mastodon app. It doesn't work on Tusky, Moshidon or Elk (progressive web app). Hopefully soon though!

@Kalle27 I use #TuskyApp and it shows me a language code below toots I read and gives me a language code I can select when I write toots.

The #MastodonAndroid app I find in f-droid (2.9.4) doesn't seem to do that, but I see someone reported a bug in that functionality so maybe a newer version does ? https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-android/issues/947

Not all post language options are included in the Android app · Issue #947 · mastodon/mastodon-android

When posting from a web browser, the list of possible languages includes Toki Pona, but it's not in the list when posting from the Android app (v2.9.3 132). Other languages might also be missing.

Not sure if this will help, but giving a 👍 to this GitHub issue for the official Mastodon Android app to address displaying of extra long posts. (Feel free to join me!)

Maximum length for displaying posts · Issue #740 · mastodon/mastodon-android

Some instances allow very, very long toots. The app displays them in full in the timeline and it takes forever to scroll a single message. My instance has a limit of 500 characters, I would expect ...

I've actually noticed this a while ago, and I don't really see an issue for this, so I went ahead and opened it myself.

Finally got my hands on the latest version, and grouped notifications are a huge improvement!

@pachli The experimental reverse timeline is generally working very well, thank you! But when I exit the timeline and then return to it, I always find myself further back in the timeline than I was when I left. This might or might not be connected to new posts having appeared in the part of the timeline I've already read.

For whatever reason, if I edit a post, #Mastodon has been removing my content warnings recently, if I don't set another one... it's really frustrating... 🤦‍♀️

#MastodonAndroid

Please recommend a Mastodon app for android to me!

I use the official one currently, but it lacks a lot of features compared to the web client and a pretty serious bug I've reported hasn't gotten any reply in nearly a year. (I'm not blaming any individual for this, rather I'm frustrated at the state of system.)

I've tried tusky and didn't like the UI. What else is out there? What do you like? What don't you like? Why?

Just a reminder that if you're too impatient to wait for when the next versions of Mastodon's mobile apps are officially announced, you can always follow @mastodon_mobile_apps.
