We're going to make a #Mastodon plushie and it's going to be very cute! I'll share more details once the prototype is done—the concept art is very promising and our partners at FRESH have a good track record of making plushies 🙂
The best way to not miss this news is to follow @Mastodon and press the bell button to get notified when there's a new post. There's also the merch mailing list to notify you of merch availability only, linked in our last blog post.

@Gargron @Mastodon Hi Eugen,

Apparently, there’s no bell or notification option in the Mastodon app for iOS

@joel @Gargron @Mastodon In case you're interested, you can checkout @megalodon and @moshidon - I prefer to use #Moshidon but personally, @trunksapp app is the best 👍

You can checkout other #Mastodon apps, they exist. I heard of @MonaApp and @IceCubesApp and @ivory , so it's up to decide which app you prefer.

@Gargron @Mastodon Hi mate. I do follow @Mastodon, and have looked a good few times for something like a bell button, have never found one in the official iOS app. I’ll keep looking, I guess I’m missing something, but could be helpful to be right up front next to the following button. Love the great work of you and the team!
@Gargron @Mastodon reporting from android. No bell either.
@Gargron @Mastodon won't you get notified of new posts automatically if you follow @Mastodon
@interglossa
The bell button makes it appear in your notifications/mentions instead of the normal timeline
@Gargron @Mastodon

@Gargron @Mastodon The Mastodon plushie will be released in beta, but it's going to be very plush. Plushie improvements will be an iterive process.

<joke/>

@Gargron gimme gimme gimme!!!
@Gargron you had me at plushie!!!
@Gargron I am always here for plushies!
@Gargron hi new here. Kinda liking the vibe. Nice place
Mastodon: "Noooo don't turn me into a marketable plushie!"
@Gargron :
@Gargron This is great news! I need one for my office.
@Gargron y’all need a #dj for any live events? 👀👀
@Gargron Can't wait to seem them! Please add hashtags when they come out so we know. Thank you! #stuffies #plushies #stuffiesofmastadon #FurryTails ❤😁

@Gargron I almost didn’t boost, so as to increase my chance of being able to nab one of the twenty or thirty that’ll be made available at 3am Tuesday local time AEST-

Please consider bringing back the mug as well. Not unlimited. Just in such a way I can pay money to support #Mastodon and also have one. 😁

@Gargron I want a Mastodon plushie that's exactly like the platform. I can open it and reveal it's actually full of fuzzy little cats.
@Gargron Yo, lets see some concepts!
@Gargron Hi! Great! Where will be the made? I couldn’t find any info about where the products are made in Fresh product pages. IMO this is relevant info :)
@Gargron Where will they be made?
@Gargron my daughter will like that :)
@Gargron If there’s fair conditions in manufacturing and the plush itself sustainable (fossil-free, no source of microplastics), then I’m in.
@Gargron have you taken into account the environmental aspect of them? All too often companies produce merch that then ends up in the landfill. Stuffed toys are one product that's made of synthetic materials that won't deteriorate for many years.
@Gargron Exciting. I am going to buy one and put it on my shelf and very clearly and earnestly explain how it should and shouldn't sit on my shelf, sometimes increasingly angrily AS IT NEEDS TO REALISE ON THIS PARTICULAR PLATFORM things work quite differently.
@Gargron certainly the #mastodon #plushie will be resourced organically and manufactured sustainably and with fair wages paid to labourers and all that, right?
@Gargron I also want a plushy of Ai-chan and Fox-tan...
