Hi Mastodoning Mates. Any chance you could boost me a bit as I'm struggling to find folk I originally followed on the Twitter. Is that how this works? I'm ASD and find new systems like this and written-instructions a major headache and very confusing.

I think I"ve done that. Like you I'm all at sea at the moment. I'm finding that it works better on a browser though. The 2 apps I've tried were both hopeless.

@lee_eyres Current consensus on this is to try #Metatext on iOS and #Tusky on Android - both include the Local and Federated feeds which are missing from the “official” apps

@nic thanks. I have Metatext & it won’t recognise the instance so I can’t sign in, & gives no help as to what I’m doing wrong. So for me currently it’s useless. I might try again but I’m doing fine on browsers at the moment.

@lee_eyres Ah, right. tbh I’ve just switched to the browser version on my phone, on realising that all my toots are being tagged as being in Welsh (my default setting) and there’s no way of changing that on Metatext.

@nic yes, it’s offering to translate them for me. 🤣

@lee_eyres oh, well that's good to know! I think that's new, too
