If you want to see Mastodon at its best, strongly recommend these options:

 Android - Use apps Tusky or Fedilab

  iPhone/iPad - Use apps Metatext or Toot!

💻 Computers - Log in through your server's website

Mastodon was designed for websites and third party apps. These are *still* the best ways to use Mastodon!

(Official app exists because new people were only looking for an official app in app stores, and giving up when they didn't find one. You don't need to use it!)

@kev @feditips what makes it so good?

@evilmiera @feditips to be fair I'm mostly comparing it to the "official" app... Which I do like but relegates the local and federated feeds much more. Being on a small - but hopefully growing - server, they're important to me.

Also, Tusky is available on f-droid but I absolutely get that's a relatively niche concern.

@kev @feditips Thanks for the reply, I'll consider it at least!
