Also, remember there are a bunch of nice 3rd party options for Android, like: Tusky (personal favorite), Fedilab, Megalodon, & Tooot

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I've been trying Tusky and Fedilab. They are better experiences for sure.

Just tried the new official app and it is much better than what it was before but the 3rd party offerings are still ahead as of now.

Just my 2 cents.

Wait Tusky is not the official app? I always assumed it was

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I've heard that the official app was initially thrown together at some point around the time Mastodon first blew up due to Twitter...uh, blowing up, in a different sense. Basically, "it would really help onboarding if people had an obvious choice of official app to use". At least, that's what I've heard. Never verified this myself.

Tusky is definitely decent though.

It's not! But it's my favourite too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's not! The official app is relatively new, and Tusky has more features, or did the last time I compared.

And don't sleep on Phanpy, despite being a PWA it really is excellent.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for Phanpy. I like Pinafore and Fedilab, Tooot was nice - but I think I will stick with Phanpy. It is such a pretty webapp.
