No disrespect but you’re doing yourself a disservice if you’re only using Mastodon’s official client! We’ve got an embarrassment of riches WRT to clients now—many free, some even open-source! Since I’ve got iOS, I can only talk for it but here’s a list of some I liked:

- Ice Cubes https://apps.apple.com/app/id6444915884 (open source! 🏎️💨 release cadence!)
- Toot! https://apps.apple.com/app/id1229021451 (v different from the rest)
- Mammoth https://apps.apple.com/app/id1667573899
- Ivory https://apps.apple.com/app/id6444602274 (perfect if you liked Tweetbot)

I’m using all four at once because I can’t decide. /0\
@hynek Which one you get notifications from? I hope not all 4? 😅 Or none at all?
@ashald Ivory 😅 (only for mentions tho)
@hynek I hit rate limite because I think at least one app on my desktop was doing too much. Watch out for that.
@hynek trying ice cubes now, very slick app
@hynek Wow, Ice Cubes great! Just installed on Mac and iOS, will give it a try.
@hynek did not know about all of these. Ice Cubes is great on first use!
@hynek really like Ice Cubes!
@hynek Anyone has any recommendations for Android?
@kaleissin @hynek I must admit, as an iOS user I am not as familiar. However, I’ve heard some great things about Tusky!
