FediTips has moved!

The third party Android app Tusky has just been updated to version 20 in Google Play.

The new version allows you to follow hashtags within the app itself, instead of having to log in through the website first. ("Click on a hashtag and then on the icon in the toolbar.")

The third party app Fedilab also supports this.

If you are still using the official Android app, you might want to try Tusky or Fedilab instead.

(For F-Droid users, Tusky should be updated there soon.)

@feditips Not sure if already mentioned but megalodon, a fork of the mastodon app offers features that were missing in the official one as well.

@feditips You should shout out Megalodon, too. I've been using it the last week and much prefer it to Tusky or Tooot. https://floss.social/@megalodon.

Fediverse client based on Mastodon for Android, focused on Glitch compatibility, a pretty UI and neat extra features ✨ Trans rights or else

@feditips So, do I need to replace the Tusky I downloaded yesterday evening, then get the latest one?

Attached: 2 images Hey for anyone who thinks android or ios app is lack of features compare to mastodon on web. Try to add mastodon website to home screen. Available to most browser, chrome,edge, opera ,etc. So you can make a shortcut that really similar to an app. It works just like an app. These are the screenshots of an example how it looks like. #MastodonTip #Tips

@feditips Tried Tusky, but it wouldn't let me login here. Repeated "incorrect username or password" messages. Seems to work for others though.
