@ivory Congrats on the launch, been loving the app so far!
@ivory Congratulations!!! Such a great app, so glad everyone will have a chance to try it now
@ivory if we want to stay on the bleeding edge of development, should we sub and then reinstall from TestFlight, or will new builds go direct to the App Store now?
@tswan @ivory @mark that’s what I’d like to know. Can I have the App Store app and the TestFlight going at the same time?
@robspodcastmug @tswan installing one will overwrite the other, but settings should be saved. We will turn off most of the TestFlight spots at some point.

@mark @tswan Awesome! Good to know.

And pro/premiere differences?

@tswan @ivory Same question. What do those of us who have been doing alpha/beta do?
@ivory should I install this and replace my TestFlight version? Or will you still be updating the TestFlight one?
@kioken I subscribed to the released version then reinstalled the Test Flight version.
@rynltylr looks like @mark was mentioning they are removing the TestFlight eventually. So I’ll stick to the App Store one.

@[email protected] We will shut down most of the testflight spots at some point (soonish).

@kioken @ivory To subscribe, you will need to install the App Store version. Once subscribed, then you can re-install the TF version.
@ivory I'm so happy that the Boxers and Briefs article is in the feed.
@ivory can i use the App after 7 days without a subscription?
@ivory what’s Ivory Premier?
@tf @ivory same as the other tier, but Ivory gets more snacks! There may be extra goodies down the road, but right now it's the same.
@ivory This is a YES for me from day one!
@ivory congratulations, you have my sub!
@ivory I downloaded and subscribed. Will the existing TestFlight continue to get updates first? Congrats on a major milestone!
@ivory congrats! And insta-buy from me!
@mingo @ivory I cannot see it in the Dutch app store :( Will buy it right away
‎Ivory for Mastodon by Tapbots

‎Ivory is a brand new app that brings over a dozen years of experience building the award-winning Tweetbot for Twitter, over to the Mastodon network. We obsess over every detail and put good design and experience first. Download and experience it for yourself. If you liked Tweetbot, you’ll love Ivory…

@mingo @ivory Hm. Mastodon only, no Pleroma yet. I will wait 👍
@kwispel @ivory what’s a Pleroma?
@mingo @ivory another fediverse server, like pixelfed, soapbox etc.
@kwispel ah, ok, I’ll check it out :)
@mingo No need if you are happy with the original Mastodon server. I tried to run it but it is very resource hungry, the cheapest workable AWS setup would’ve kost me smth like 45-50 euro per month. Soapbox/Pleroma federate to the same network but they are much much leaner, I run one for about 4 euros per month. Erlang beats PHP :)
@kwispel @mingo Pleroma offers Mastodon APIs for compatibility, so it should work. You'll just be limited to Mastodon-only features.
@deadsuperhero @mingo Interesting. That’s not what @ivory tells me.
@deadsuperhero @mingo Computer says ‘no’…
@kwispel @mingo Try putting just the instance name, instead of your handle.
@kwispel just the instance name.. you can login after
@deadsuperhero @kwispel @mingo Wish this were true - @ivory explicitly didn't support my Pleroma instance just now. Makes sense, if they're trying to ship quickly, but hoping Pleroma is popular enough to add compatibility. 🤞

@bja @mingo @kwispel @ivory Hmm, maybe they do an explicit check via NodeInfo.

Out of curiosity, did you put your full user handle, or your instance domain in the form?

@deadsuperhero @mingo @kwispel @ivory Just the instance name. I'll try my user handle...

@kwispel @mingo @bja @ivory Damn. Oh well, I guess they're explicitly checking for now.

Maybe that will get fixed in the near future.

@kwispel hmm, so it’s like a lighter weight server? Are you running one yourself?
@ivory congratulations! Instant sub from me!
