Some tips for new members:

-Third party Mastodon apps are better than official apps. On Android try Tusky or Fedilab. On iPhone/iPad try Toot!

@feditips Tusky has weirdly implemented the status bar and Nav Bar.

@feditips

Unfortunate but true. It's got kind of a busier/rougher look but I love how feature rich Fedilab is, frequent updates too.

@feditips On iOS and macOS, #Mastoot does very nicely

BTW, I see that mastodon URLs in Twitter profiles put up a warning, but you know what doesn’t? fedi.tips/ ! I put that along with my unlinked masto ID

@feditips Tusky may be better than Mastodon app but it desperately needs an image overhaul.

@feditips Tusky is better than the official app: in what way? I tried it, couldn't discover what was supposed to be better. I disliked the way it cuts off parts of images.

You can't tell people this or that app is better without motivation.

I don't use any apps for mastodon anymore. I prefer the web interface. It offers functionality that is missing in the apps.

METATEXT is definitely my favorite Mastodon app for iPhone!

I made a couple custom app icons for it, for anyone who’s interested ^-^
