So @ygalanter pointed me to another "clean" interface option for Mastodon (like Pinafore.social) that I had not seen before: elk.zone. It's quite nice (and very, very Twitter-like). But, I don't see any way to find lists via its interface which unfortunately make it a non-starter for me.
@mmasnick @ygalanter I have the same issue with the Mastodon app on my iPad. Alternatives?
@joly @mmasnick @ygalanter Mastoot and Mammoth are both good.
@dambaras @mmasnick @ygalanter I tried Mastoot. No list functionality that I could find. I couldn’t see Mammoth in the App Store. I tried Metatext. It does show lists, but under profile rather than browse. The other app options are $$, will look for reviews. I do like the feel of the Mastodon app, it’d be good if they just implemented lists!
@joly @mmasnick @ygalanter Mammoth is still in beta testing via the Testflight app for ios. See https://testflight.apple.com/join/HyL7boSn
Join the Mammoth: for Mastodon beta

Available on iOS

@dambaras @mmasnick @ygalanter “Beta is full” :(

@dambaras @mmasnick @ygalanter

I see @ivory is another option. I missed the testflight yesterday, but am hopeful.
