Eight Mastodon apps for iPhone

An in-depth comparative review of eight Mastodon apps for iPhone: Fedi, Mast, Mastodon, Mercury, Metatext, tooot, Toot! and Tootle.

Lots of Mastodon instances are struggling with the heavy influx of users. Twitter was the same in the early days. The Fail Whale, was something you’d see on a regular basis. Gives it a chance, things will get better.

Hello #TwitterMigration people.

If you encounter a racist/discriminatory/hate toot, let your administrator know (take a screenshot and attach the offensive toot when you do). Use the REPORT function to do this.

THE ADMINISTRATOR will let other admins know by tagging it with #fediblock . This helps admins to find troublesome instances..

Here, the final arbiter is a PERSON, unlike the process on the birdsite where “report abuse” triggers an algorithm

#TwitterTakeover #racism #hate #bigotry

It’s interesting that the biggest communication challenge facing Mastodon communities is explaining that it’s basically a protocol and a network of independent, interconnected servers, which is what the Web, e-mail, even DNS and most of the fundamental services we use on the internet are, and always were.
It just illustrates just how much ‘Big Tech’ proprietary social media platforms swallowed up and walled off, if it’s now difficult to explain what the internet actually is!
Hoping there’s a bookmarks/save toot feature someday otherwise I’m gonna need to boost/reblog everything I want to read in the future
Can’t emphasise enough how much the Mastodon experience is improved by choosing the right app to use it. The official Mastodon app is terrible with very limited functionality, making for a very isolated feeling from everyone and the wider communities. Metatext is waaaaay better and replicates the Twitter experience much more closely. Mastodon is actually enjoyable with this app.
I advise picking through a bunch of apps to see which one is more suitable for you before settling on one to use.

Mastodon will update to 4.0 soon! Here are the most exciting new features (in addition to fixes & changes):

- ability to follow hashtags
- ability to filter by language
- ability to translate posts
- ability to post HEIC files (i.e. your iPhone’s native photo format)
- define user roles (big deal for admins)
- define sign-up process on your Instance (admins again)
