I'm preparing for an episode of @appstories about third-party Mastodon clients for Apple platforms currently on the App Store (i.e. not in TestFlight).

What are some local timelines of other Mastodon instances I should consider pinning in apps like @icecubesapp?

@viticci I don’t use the DM tab at the bottom. And I rarely use Search. I wish I can replace these buttons with a pinned Local timeline.

@viticci Please, consider adding @tootapp in the list of apps. While everyone today is focused on apps from popular developers, Toot has been a strong option for quite some time.

@viticci I like following the local timeline at mastodon.gamedev.place. It’s a little busy and not 100% gamedev but it’s a great place to see indie devs talking about their work and gamedev generally.

@appstories @viticci I would encourage you to address the accessibility of Mastodon clients. A lot have some accessibility, but fall down in important ways. For example, Ivory does not provide direct rotor actions with voiceover. nor does it give you an easy way to read all text associated with images. Tusker is a current favorite, and I’ve heard good things about Mona though I haven’t tried it myself.
