Crystal isn’t an app that puts Mastodon feeds on Apple TV, it’s an app that puts Mastodon feeds on Apple TV.
Hope that clarifies things.
Crystal is ready for tvOS 26 when it releases on Monday. See a preview of Crystal’s Liquid Glass design:
Liquid Glass update for @CrystalApp now in #TestFlight! If for some reason you’ve put the #tvOS beta on your Apple TV, you can enjoy photos from your favorite Mastodon hashtags in style.
New Crystal update includes animated gifs when you view Mastodon feeds!
Choose whether gifs are included in slideshows from the “…” menu while playing a slideshow, or by pressing and holding on a gif thumbnail

New #TestFlight build for @CrystalApp for Apple TV supports animated gifs from Mastodon & other Fediverse servers.
You can browse and open them like any other images, and if you enable “Auto-play animated GIFs" in your Mastodon settings (and your accessibility settings allow it), they'll appear in slideshows too.
Great for #cinemagraphs / #cinemagraph

A note on compatibility: I'm calling version 1.0 "Crystal for Mastodon", but it *should* work with other Fediverse servers that have a similar API like #Pixelfed, #GoToSocial, and so on – I just haven't tested these thorougly yet, so I can't promise everything will work.
If you’d like to try the app with a non-Mastodon server without having to buy it first, there are open TestFlight spots available and you’ll get compatibility improvements before anyone else: https://testflight.apple.com/join/NKpHVXt3
