Hey I’m new here (my account is older but I haven’t used it really til recently) and I’m really confused about some things I’m reading around here. If some tenured people here could help me find some links to read (or explain) so I can understand?

First: what is the “fediverse”?

Second: what does the blocking (Is that the right word?) of mastodon.social mean for me as a user here? Are my posts now hidden from people using that instance?

So far I’ve been mainly using mastodon from mobile.

I think you're on iOS?

This is one of the newest articles on the mobile app options: https://bilge.world/mastodon-ios-apps

Note that the "official" Mastodon app isn't even on that list, it's THAT bad compared to all the alternatives.

Or just use Safari on your iDevice and login to the browser version instead of an app at all.

TL;DR: They barely have enough time to maintain new features on the main webpage version, the app versions fall WAY behind.

And if you or anyone else is on Android, Tusky is basically the only game in town, IMHO.
