My new Mastodon app ‘Mammoth’ is now ready to beta test.

If you’ve found that all the Mastodon apps out there currently haven’t been great, you’re in luck. 😏

Join the Mammoth: for Mastodon beta

Available on iOS

@[email protected] Someone really needs to build a TypeScript Mastodon client library, with a normalized cache.

Twitter was special. But it's time to leave

Tweets were always short-lived. Turns out Twitter was too.

Made an iOS Shortcut to let you follow someone from a different Mastodon instance without the copy/paste hoop-jumping.

Once added to your Shortcuts app, you can share a Profile (or webpage or text that contains a profile link or username) to this Shortcut to be taken to the Follow confirmation page without ever copying or pasting anything.

Let me know if you find it helpful or run into any issues.

Bootstrapping stuff is fun!
Impressive how Mastodon still holds up under this strong recent growth. Distributed networks are not a bad idea, it seems.

Public service announcement:

If you want to import people you follow from Twitter to Mastodon, there are two main ways:

1. Debirdify
https://pruvisto.org/debirdify
(seems to be down/v slow a lot at the moment)

2. Fedifinder
https://fedifinder.glitch.me/

I had better luck with Fedifinder today, and it has two backup versions (linked from that page) to try too.

It is worth doing this again every few days (for as long as Twitter exists) as new people join.

A death sentence
