My column about apps on Mastodon appears in print today. I'm told it did very well on the web after publishing on Friday. It got MANY boosts and Favorites here on Mastodon (thank you!), so I assume that's where a lot of traffic came from. It'll be very interesting to see what kind of print-reader feedback I get via email.

This is a gift link to the story, so it should get at least some of you past the paywall if you don't have a subscription. If not, use archive.ph.

As Twitter kills third-party apps, new life blooms on Mastodon

Developers who crafted now-defunct apps for Twitter can devote their attention to the network that’s become the primary bird site refuge.

@dsilverman I'm looking forward to the Android article. I haven't seen Mastodon apps that look good in the Play Store.

There is an Ivory, but it looks unrelated to Tapbots. And the GitHub repo has been deleted.

@snoda @dsilverman
I use Tusky and like it. Still, looking forward to hearing about more Android apps, always good to know.

@Giagia @dsilverman

I just started using Tusky. Thanks for the tip!

@snoda Oh fab! Glad you're giving it a go.
