Advice for newcomers: don’t bother with the official Mastodon apps. Try these instead!

@jonikorpi The built-in web UI is actually pretty nice (check out multicolumn mode if that interests you!); it's just the supposedly ""official"" iOS/Android apps that suck!

We use Tusky for its multiaccount features, it works decent. On desktop we have cookie containers so we don't need a special client for that.

@topaz @jonikorpi it sucks more and more on every new release since 4.0 releases though, IMO (edit is the only good new feature)

@xarvos @jonikorpi ...yeppp.

We're sticking on 3. Someone should really fork 3. The edit UI is the only thing that needs to be backported – you can actually edit with other clients, even.
