Seems that Mastodon official and Fedilab are the only ones that show reply counts.
That's good to know

Thanks for the boosts, tooters!
camel@RL_Dane Official Mastodon PWA (not app) on mobile for me. Even supports swiping between columns.
Though tusky is a close second

@RL_Dane I used Tusky for a while, but I've got to say, I'm really liking Tooot on Android!
@gortbrown Hadn't seen that one! link?
jacob 🦀@RL_Dane What if you don't use any? I like my social circle but my phone doesn't have any social apps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@jwestall_com
You mean you just don't bother with social stuff on your phone? Well, there's nothing wrong with that! I wish I had your discipline! 😆

@RL_Dane I try not, but sometimes I slip up. Makes life simpler. :)
Adam Piggott@RL_Dane Fedilab because it's feature rich and doesn't decide what instances I may and may not interact with.
shadowsword@RL_Dane
I only used tusky until yesterday, but now fedilab seems to win the race for me

Gina Häußge@RL_Dane I have both Tusky and Fedilab installed. I like the additional features that Fedilab offers me (unlimited additional tabs, timeline of other instances, toot I'm replying to visible) but I prefer the UI of Tusky (feels less crowded) and Tusky's notifications also seem to be more reliable for me.
Tusky is this my primary, but Fedilab is only a click away.
AxWax@RL_Dane So far I've only tried official and Tusky, but went back to the PWA for now - it has everything I need, except for being able to share images to it (rather than having to browse for them in the PWA)
Tilman Beitter@RL_Dane I am using the official and tusky right now. The official client looks way more modern/clean in my opinion, my fav right now. But there are some hickups to resolve, f.e. federated/home timelines, but maybe I simply don't understand what those tabs in the search area do... 😂
@spicewiesel
The #Community tab is your instance timeline. There's no #Federated timeline as far as I know.
I like Tusky & Husky's looks the best, but they lack the reply count, which I find very useful. Fedilab has the reply count, but so does the Official client, which looks better, so I'm back to that for now.
We'll see for how long. ^__^
@RL_Dane okay. I still don't know the idea behind naming things differentely in the official web app and official mobile app. Why is itt "community" in the app when everyone already knows that thing as "local timeline" from the web client. And yes, the federated one is missing. The mobile app was done in a pretty short time and that given it looks and feels really good. Chapeau!
Jason123santa@RL_Dane I been using tusky for the whole time I used mastodon and it works great without issues and there is nothing that is missing from it that I can tell.
It has the most features and there is no reason to use something else because this client works the best
@Tusky great app on Android for mastodon

Max M.@RL_Dane I started with AndStatus, stayed with Fedilab for a while and am currently testing Tusky. I miss so many configuration features of Fedilab that I think I'll uninstall Tusky again. For example the automatic replacement of youtube and twitter links or the translation feature.
The only problem I have is the limitation to load 40 toots at once, but that's the same with Tusky and Fedilab. Is that a limitation of mastodon itself?

Ticktok@RL_Dane Yuito. It's a fork of tusky. Mostly the same with a few tweeks. Main one that I switched from tusky to yuito for is the reset/jump to top of timeline dialog
@RL_Dane and the ability to stream tabs and just watch the timeline scroll
Reto Hasler@RL_Dane "Progressive Web App" is missing
Max (Lyrenhex)@RL_Dane the PWA, honestly. It just works™️

Mr. Curious! 
@RL_Dane i would suggest the use of web app for Mastodon.com from any secured browser of user choice. For app i would suggest Tusky.
Rudi@RL_Dane does saving the website to an instant-app count as the official client? My instance isn't compatible with the Play Store official client, but the web interface works for me
meeper@RL_Dane Husky is really just tusky but for pleroma :\
amy 
@RL_Dane husky because pleroma
ghostdancer@RL_Dane Only used Fedilab so I don't have an opinion on the others but boosting so we can hear what people say.

I keep learning about clients I'd never heard of before, neat!!

Kit Rhett Aultman@RL_Dane People don't just add the app directly from the browser?
@roadriverrail
Running it as a web app is a good option, too. It's not quite as fluid as a native app, but you don't miss any features that way.

Web app is legit, but many people prefer native apps.

Jasper 🍉@RL_Dane can't vote because Tusky is all i know.
Tusky is good though. 1)Maybe feels a bit like it's faster on the battery than i.e. my RSS reader. 2) noticed no zooming on pictures? 3) It doesn't locally store very aggressively on M$ github already an issue on it.
@jasper
I've noticed that most FOSS Android apps don't like to zoom pictures enough, and I can't for the life of me understand why

Dušan Mitrović@RL_Dane Tusky by far. It has almost every feature of the web UI and it translates that well to mobile and it doesn't try to be Twitter, unlike the official app.
mondstern@RL_Dane No multiple answers possible ?
@mondstern
I wanted to make sure the poll had a clear outcome. Turns out that wasn't remotely an issue. Folks really love Tusky

cm2 🏳️🌈@RL_Dane the official app is pretty but I like and mostly use pinafore (https://pinafore.social/). 😊 Sometimes tusky too.
@cm2
Heard a lot about that one.
Why do you like it, if I may ask, and do you ever feel nervous about handing it your login credentials?

@RL_Dane sure! it feels really simple in a way that I like, lightweight and very responsive, works offline, and I like the wellness/accessibility options (I only use a couple of them but I appreciate they're there)! Not super nervous about the credentials; its supposed to be static site and app uses oauth flow you'd expect (redirect to your instance, log in, authorize the app, redirect to app). I also appreciate it's open source (though I'll admit I haven't read through too much of the source)
@cm2
Neat, I'll give it a try! 🖖🏼

Tuxicoman@RL_Dane is mastodon app available without googleplay?
@tuxicoman
You can download the APK from GitHub or APKmirror, but it probably requires GSF or MicroG for notifications
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-android/releases/tag/v1.1.1
GSF dependency means too much Google control on the phone unfortunately.
@tuxicoman
I don't have GSF on mine, I rely on MicroG, instead

Alexandra Soroca 🎹@RL_Dane Web. But if there was an app that remembered the last read position, I would probably try it.
Ruby@RL_Dane my unfortunate thoughts are that i'm using my own fork of the official app. i don't wanna give up on the official app just yet, because it's pretty (!!! and i like using pretty apps), but it's got quite some bugs, and is missing some crucial features (hence my fork) that the devs don't even agree should be there at all (like the federated timeline). idk, my hopes aren't too high for the official app, and idk if it's worth it to implement all the things it's missing. anyway, here's my fork: https://github.com/sk22/mastodon-android-fork#readme
@RL_Dane gonna say "not yet" for now; honestly i haven't even figured out how to sign an apk correctly and generally i haven't done android development in ages, but possibly! for now, i'm calling it an experimental build (even if more production-ready than the official, but well)..
Joel Hill@RL_Dane I voted for @Tusky but I have to admit that the official app is really growing on me. It's got a nice polished media first approach that's tough to walk away from.
The local feed I thought was missing is actually in the "community" tab under search, and that's been a huge help since I'm new to the platform and don't have a lot of people I'm following. Definitely miss the federated timeline though.
I think with enough time and refinement the official app will be the best.
