An elemental day, with earth, air and water.  The fire (lightning) came later.

My 3 favorite Mastodon clients.

1. Metatext:
Pro: Easy to use, good UI features, free- to-use.
Con: Slow to load photo/videos, hard to read entire article headlines, sometimes buggy.

2. Ivory:
Pro: Easy to use, pretty UI.
Con: Some fancy UI features distracting, no left swipe on posts, pay-to-use.

Ice Cubes:
Pro: Easy to use, pretty UI, excellent display of article headlines, free-to-use.
Con: No left swipe on posts.

On balance, Ice Cube is my clear favorite (your mileage may vary).
