Favorite Mastodon client

What is your favorite Mastodon client?

23

Depends on the platform. I’m on iOS, where I really like Ice Cubes I’ve heard megalodon is good on android.

I love Moshidon

It can view the public timelines from other instances, has alt text features, shows pronounces of the persons if it stored in their profil....

This should be the official app imo 🌞

Do you know if there is a way to mute accounts only on the home tineline? I add some accounts to lists, and I only want to see them when i'm viewing that list.

It's one of the main things keeping me on fedilab.

Why are all Mastodon apps similar to each other? In my opinion, there is not a single client whose UI is strikingly different from the original. 😐

https://phanpy.social for having an actual human readable view with nested threads. PWA, great on mobile and desktop.

This is what I use. Its open source. Loads faster than any other app ive tried. And best of all it also has really convenient features like putting reposts in a carousel, adding different slight color highlights to the background of posts depending on whether its a repost, reply or normal post. Also it has a thread counter like 2/5 so you know if a post is a part of a thread.

I use elk.zone on desktop because I'm used to Twitter.

On Android, I like Moshidon the best. I tried elk as a PWA and it just wasn't great. Tusky was good, but I like Moshidon's interface better.

On Android I bounce between Tusky, Fedilab, and the different forks of the official app, but I use Fedilab the most.

For android definitely moshidon! Stable version is material you and has a bunch of themes and extra features. Nightly version is updated frequently. Completely free and donation funded, it's the gold standard for mastodon apps imo

I’m not on Mastodon often, but Tusker has been adequate for me on IOS. I heard you can even use it for Pixelfed.

I'm using trunks and I find it better than the official app (android)

Literally any third-party app is better than the official app.
