Or, just use your browser. Bespoke apps are totally unnecessary for a great Mastodon experience (assuming your browser is half-way reasonable)

@feditips @EosFoxx Just echoing that Toot! on IOS has been working really well for me so far! :)

@feditips @toni While it costs a few bucks, Toot! on iOS is the absolute peanut butter to my jelly. It’s pretty, works smoothly, supports mods like increased text limits and emoji etc. Great little app.

@feditips I like the PWA on Android. Simple and technically in the browser.

@feditips using Ice Cubes and it’s fantastic. Ivory is too expensive I feel, but the quality is great

@feditips Thanks!

@feditips really enjoying Ice Cubes, it has a great flow and design.

@feditips Do any of them have a partial-mute feature? I'll probably try them at some point and see what I do/don't like, but that's the one thing that's specifically been on my mind lately.

I mostly follow back anyone who follows me (if I wasn't following them already due to knowing them from elsewhere), but I ended up unfollowing a couple because they just toot *all the time* (in one case boosting some of their own past toots daily) and it was kinda drowning out everything else. But I wouldn't mind receiving an arbitrary subset of their toots (one per day, one per 8 hours, three per day with most <insert some metric here>, whatever).

I get the whole "stop enshittifying my feed and just give me what I asked for", but I don't always want to ask for *all* of a thing.

@feditips personally, I think @Tusky really rocks, as it's functionality is basically that of the old #TweetDeck #mobile #app...

@feditips Which if any of them make Mastodon easier, less confusing, and less intimidating to deal with? Mastodon still just doesn’t click—no engagement, no discoverability, not much of anything.

@feditips Do you have a rec on which Android app is best

@feditips iOS -> Woolly @woollyapp @mttvll

@feditips For iOS and iPadOS devices, Tapbots’ Ivory has my vote, but that’s because they have a lot of leftover goodwill from Tweetbot.

Ivory requires a subscription, but so far it’s been worth it.

@feditips Fedilab looks really cool. It's got a great feature set. It's just missing one thing, and I've been waiting for it all year: An update that fixes the known bug where the app only gets new toots when I manually refresh each column individually. That's make or break for me, so I'm just keeping a Chrome tab open instead. I get notifications and everything else works. I'll have to take a look at what else is out there now. It's been a few months.

@feditips do any of them handle threads better than the official client? It's so frustrating to scroll backwards through someone's 15+ post rant

@feditips
I’m using MetaText. Which is your fave for iPhone?

@feditips it might be just me, but i like the official app more than the third party apps 😬

@feditips I’m using phanpy.social (web app) and it is superb.
