Have you tried using Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, BookWyrm etc through web apps yet?

Web apps are sophisticated websites that can be installed on your phone or tablet, and once installed they act like apps (for example they can use your phone's notifications).

They're very easy to install and use, easier than app stores!.There's a complete guide here:

Web apps aren't just bookmarks any more. If you haven't tried them lately, this might be a good time to have a go.

@feditips I have. The desktop version of Mastodon is a mess. I can't stand it. In general, most apps these days aren't meant to be displayed horizontally, but vertically, like on a phone. Office tasks on a PC or laptop and the rest on a phone.

@feditips It's the only way I access Mastodon.

Because unlike other client options, I can change the instance on my server and get more features! :)

@feditips Well, I tried to do it, with Friendica. Didn't work.

Are there version constraints in that?

@feditips Webapps are a save way to make me not use a service.
They are generally worse than any mediocre native app, even when done very well.
I have seen one webapp so far that was not completely horrible (Firefish). Still, it was bad enough that I didn’t want to use it.

@feditips
I'm not sure it's the same thing, but using firefox I can put any website on my phone's home screen as a seperate icon. This saves a lot of store space of my internal memory (I've got an old phobe and the internal memory is small by today's standards). It works very well for me this way.

@feditips Could you tell me, can I use peer tube to upload songs the same way as I do on YT? It looks a lot more complicated and I could do with some help!!
